The Song of Lost Knowledge

By Brandon Lund

As a coming of age story about a traveler, on the path to self-discovery, The Song of Lost Knowledge attempts to answer question such as 'who am I?'. The story begins when an oak-born elf leaves the safety of a maternal setting, an archipelago forest that raised him, in pursuit of answers to questions that have become too much to bear further. As a sickness, known to all simply as the Scourge, destroys the ancient forest, a dying oak named Sad Mother is forced to change her ways. Her half-breed son, often known simply as the Elf, coupled with his best-friend Myrtle the Turtle, sets out on a journey across dangerous landscapes while avoiding the many outcomes of risk. All of this while attempting to stop the destruction of his home and to save the elders who nurtured him. In the end, can he handle the shocking origins of the Scourge? The Chaucerian self-portrait that takes place along the way ties the entire piece together as a pictorial image of a face defined within the water of the islands.
