‘The Ballad Of Bon Bon’

‘The Ballad of Bon Bon’ is 1st person account about finding the book ‘The Ballad of Bon Bon’ a book written by Prophet_B0njomin. Note that we do not get to read the actual book but read Edmond von Bonburg, the narrator, views on it. The account tells the story shortly after the death of his wife Brooke von Bonburg after a flood in Vythia and the events that lead to her resurrection and lead to the Bonburg House deviating from the Church of Lavvy and founding the Bon Bon Orthodoxy. The actual Ballad of Bon Bon is lost to time and there is little hope of finding it after the Bonburgs Death.

Stave I : The Book
I wake up hungry as always and gaze upon the enchanted sick sea. I watch the waves crash into each other with a rage of an unchained bovine.

I take it upon myself to leave my hut and venture out closer to the sea on the rocky beaches of Vythia, taking my leather coat with me. How can something so beautiful cause so much pain to me as I look at the snowflakes of light bouncing off the sea.. I think to myself reminiscing of that fatal night. The night my family was taken away from me. how could Lavvy let this happen to me… But in the middle of my useless train of thought I see a brown book washed up on the shore it’s still salvageable I thought and carefully wrapped the damp book in my leather coat.

I take it home to my empty hut and attempt to dry to book. I attempt to read the cover of it and read the words out loud..

The Ballad Of Bon Bon

the book will be dry by tomorrow I thought to myself not expecting much...

Stave II : The Recipe
I read through the book taking in every word, page. The sun made the crumpled paper yellow with an enchanting glow as I flicked through the pages as I discovered this Prophets story. Among the pages was a recipe. A recipe that would call forth Bon Bon himself in a time of need. A prayer that could summon him and bring back the dead. The handwritten recipe includes: The World's darkest chocolate bar

Fresh Water from the pond of enlightenment

3 golden crispy apples

1 piece of bamboo

a handfull of bonemeal

16 bottles of nectar 'Pour all items into the cauldron, heat it and gently pour the concoction into the body's mouth and they will rise with the morning sun.' I did what the book says gathering the items.

Stave III : Rebirth
The liquid worked I am happy? Brooke doesn't seem quite the same, she seems fractured... I am happy. We are back. Tomorrow we are going to Hallangrad to meet with the family. Do I tell them what happened? I explained what happened to Brooke she seems- thankfull? All I know is that I must spread the word of Bon Bon. Bon Bon helped me not the Lavvythia.
