Del and Ralad, Mere and Plain,

Dread Gnomes, Torans, Jalis name:

One in seven. Seven, one.

Circled round, the spell is done.



Jalis, Dread Gnome, Mere and Del,

Plains and Ralad, Toran spell.

Iron circle, made with care,

Guarded by Adin’s true heir.
Date: February 1, 2017
Form: Song with an AABBCCDD rhyme scheme.
Inspired by: rewatching the Deltora Quest anime series. I read the books by Emily Rodda when I was 11 or 12, saw the anime for the first time when I was 19 or 20, and now as I near 30, I just discovered the manga adaptation and have been reading it. My favorite character is Doom and while rewatching the anime, I created an FC called Amberlin who helps Lief, Barda, and Jasmine on their quest to restore the Belt of Deltora. Amberlin is from the Plains Tribe and wanders Deltora selling perfumes and medicines while providing aid to Doom and the Resistance. This is an old Plains Tribe song that she sings that gives a clue as to how the Belt should be restored.
