A song to Hemsker a great hero of the Brudvir
There once was a brother who stood tall and strong.
With arms like a spruce and a ferocious maw.
One day a beast came to eat all in his den.
It was as big as a boulder with teeth like a sword
And when it roared and yelled it shook the whole gorge
and it started to dine on the pups in their homes.
tearing apart women and chewing on their bones
But Hemsker a lumberjack was he
returning that day with a 12 foot round tree.
When he saw the beast eating his pack
he threw the tree down and pick up his ax.
He charged at the beast as his inner wolf ragged.
He hacked and he slashed for what seemed to be days
then the beast dropped dead and still
and Hemsker was covered in all the blood he had spilled.
He washed off in the snow but his beard had turned red
that's how it stayed till the day he was dead
then red beards appeared in more of the pack
this we know is Hemsker's soul coming back
he lives on in every red hair
we call him Hemsker the Red Timber Bear
