I, a raptor, a rare bird

Raised in cages

Where masters plucked my feathers

Replaced them with pain

Flew away, with no direction

Leather leash weighing me down

Leading my owner to me

Another falconer found me

Though she thought herself a Hawk

Cut the leash with kindness, unexpected

And became her falcon

Bound with a blood-stained band

Around my taloned hand

I chose her as my new falconer

More loyal than any hound

Of my own will.

A/N: I am obsessed with Dragon Age 2 at the moment. I actually wrote this for a creative writing class. In case you can't tell, this is from Fenris's perspective.
