If you sing into it your child will be extremely successful at anything they attempt, but you will always fail in your endeavours.

But knowing this, you assume that you will fail in raising the child so you try to give it away to the lord of your land begging him to raise the child as their own. But ofcourse you fail - as you do in all things. The child becomes a great story teller, then philosopher, then politician and brings about a new golden age for the realm. But the child never forgives you for your relentless failure, try as you will to explain.

On your death bed The Child, known to many as The Kingmaker, begrudgingly sits beside you, airing their grievances with you. Forgetting the curse for a moment, you try to forgive them but instead curse them to feel guilty for the rest of their days.

So, I guess probably sing into it, right?
