A poem about Afiko, the betrayer of the Air Nomads. Sort of a sympathy for the villain peice.
Kinslayer
The work of my hands cannot be undone
No where to go, no way to return
Abandoning the title of brother and son
Once a proud house is now nil
An empty house lies forlorn upon a hill
The most natural ties, I did spurn
When my own blood I did spill
A kin slayer can never return
A creature to hate, to attack, to shun
A dangerous animal with a human's skill
My ears ring with the tales spun
Over shared drink of putrid swill
Exaggerate my story as you will
Truth and lies you cannot discern
Repeating as always that bitter pill
A kin slayer can never return
No where to go, no where to run
No home to build, no field to till
Only to finish what I can begun
Only an exile, to wander still
For a law of man you must fulfill
That mark into my flesh you burn
You will hound me forever until
A kin slayer can never return
No one asked why I did kill
Perhaps no one cares to learn
All I hear is shouts so shrill
A kin slayer can never return
