The Rusalkas Are Coming, The Rusalkas Are Coming
A Rusalka is a Slavic water spirit, the soul of a young woman whose life ended violently (and usually as a result of a bad relationship). She must carry her comb to come on dry land, where she will climb into the trees, comb her hair, and sing. Let's end the evening with a melancholy or spooky tale: Tell us a tale* of such a spirit. Gender-bending welcome.

Juliane's Fishpond (or, "Infamous Last Words")
A big hit at Bardic Roundhouse, devised jointly with Juliane Bechaumpe: You will pull a fish from the "fishpond" (at the end of the previous Fyt) and on it you will find a sentence or phrase. Your job is to devise two verses and chorus which END with this line. (For this challenge, only a song or poem will do.)

I'll Wear a Token Some Day
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2013 in Dun Traigh

Ain't to Saint
Alexander was not sainted for his saintliness - it was for his military and political prowess. Tell us a tale* of transformation of mundane virtues elevated to the divine. (We meant "mundane" in the common sense; but heck, if you can work your magic contrasting the SCA sense of "mundane" with the divine, give it a shot!)
