J is after Era:
In this time and in this place, in this very hour,
>Name reference. An era is “a period of time marked by distinctive character, events, etc” and it’s also often associated with a place. If you think of the sixties, it depends where you were what sort of era it was.
I summon forth one whose blood is blue,
>Rank reference. A socialite is an “aristocrat” and one of the synonyms for aristocrat is blueblood.
Come forth from your bower:
>This is a realm reference. A bower is a “leafy shelter” so I used it to refer to the forest, Andarin.
Bring us all that is true.
>Class reference, because Era is a scholar, and discovering the “truth”. Nature, the ways of the world, etc.
Druid Born come with me,
>Druids from myth, from WoW, and from D&D have power over elements. One of their most powerful spells (I’m a D&D player) is “Call Lightning,” and this is a history reference, because Era was born with Lightning III.
For you are as new as I.
>Era is still new to Andarin, and young.
Follow closely,
>Just referring to her youth, as a two year old is just old enough to be an adult, no longer following their mother. So J is being patronizing.
Beneath a silver sky.
>I didn’t know how specific color references, and in one post Era’s mane was referred to as “silver and gold” so I used it to finish off rhyme, figuring any color would be picked out of it.
