Witch Beatrice
I still remember that first time
In a forest where trees came to life
When I first saw your gentle face
In the depths of a forest-like maze
Down the stars I remained hidden
Of all the pursuers you had beaten
Next to you, I finally felt safe
Despite the opponent we were about to face
The fight started, I knew I wasn't ready
But I attacked fiercely, my Soul Arrows heavy
I fought to defend you, you protected me in return
And when the enemy landed, you knew it was your turn
You rushed to it swiftly, despite your health being low
But you knew it was ending, and struck the final blow
Everything went silent as the Butterfly exploded
Victory was ours, and the battle was over
You took the key and we celebrated victory
But my heart started to fill with misery
If I never saw you again, what would I do?
There was someone in my heart, and it was you
I could only thank you for that short time
For the moments I'd treasure in this heart of mine
Without a word, you held me in your arms
And I knew everything would be alright
I carried on, continued with my travels
Thinking of how you were with each mistery unraveled
I searched far and wide, through land and sea
Hoping that once more, you'd stumble upon me
The time finally came, my heart was racing
I was too happy to care about the enemy we were facing
You summoned me again, but were not as I remembered
Your face no longer gentle, your eyes no longer tender
But despite that I threw myself into your arms
Smiling upon the one thing that was the same: your warmth
Returning the embrace, you held me close and tight
And for a moment you were able to forget about the upcoming fight
But our moment could not last for long
There were enemies ahead and your duty called
You let go of me slowly, you didn't want to leave
You could only hope that once more, we could meet
Wouldn't it have been just the perfect thing?
To be only us, no enemies around to think?
To live together in peace, in any place we could find
And maybe, someday, even have a little child?
While we fought the Kings, deep down in the Abyss
I couldn't help but think of all these silly things
Ours is a world of darkness, a world of pain
A family? I shouldn't think of that ever again
But what damage is there in wanting to be happy?
Wanting to escape the dark, to be out of it?
Just for a small moment, for a little while
Is thinking of that such a futile act?
Three of our enemies gone, one more left
I couldn't hide all the relief I felt
With our strength combined, no enemy was too hard to face
Only one simple thing we couldn't deafeat: our fate
A bonfire appeared, lighting up the place
You fell on your knees, unable to keep up the pace
I saw your tired eyes, by weariness marked
Had it been because of the journey in which you embarked?
I wanted to do more for you, to ease your pain
Even if I had to fight the Kings again
I traversed the Abyss alone to see the Serpent
To seek answers, an enlightment in this tempest
But I found no one, and the wraiths attacked
Overwhelmed by their power, I attempted to run
Fatally wounded, I reached the Valley of Drakes
With no way to heal, seeing my imminent death
I closed my eyes, waiting for my time to finish
Dedicating my last moments to the thought of your image
Please don't cry, for you helped this foolish rogue
Discover the bliss of having someone to love.
