Through the city, a girl gave chase

To a fox to which she thought could race

And lead her beyond her palace reach

To the peasant from who she could be teach

Calmly, she knocked on the door

The man asked who called for

When she did not answer, he demanded a name

Her lucid response was "The Heavenly Jade"

He opened his house with the greatest of frights

Yet she could see his hidden might

He knew of Spells and Secrets and War in the Night

She begged him to disclose the shadows

But long loneliness had left the man hallowed

He tested the royal, and found her humble

And knew in opposition she would not crumble

"You are simple as a gown, yet fierce as an ox

Hence forth Jade shall become Silk Fox"

With years the young Princess grew

Until of spells and secrets did knew

The teacher, once old, had thought

That the fox had accomplished what it sought

To take a leader, and finding her true

Teach her exactly what she could do.


Yay! Another short blurb for you to enjoy. Reviews are welcome as this is my first attempt at rhymed verse.
