In Peril

by Senik

Just a poem I wrote in my free time. Describes the evolution of Peril as a character throughout the series.

I am Peril, the savage, the brute, the killer.

The dragonet who didn't know better.

I am Peril, torn between two clashing tides,

Queen Scarlet, the killer, or Clay by my side.

I am Peril, traitor to the queen,

Yet she keeps me around,

Perhaps because she needs me.

Yet my faith in Scarlet

Was beginning to lean.

I am Peril, lost in the world,

With no purpose, yet free.

I am Peril, I yearned to leave,

I'm everything I wanted to be,

But I find myself searching for the past.

I am Peril, and I knew I had to do it,

My mistress was free, yet not beside me.

She still held a grudge on freedom.

I am Peril, with a new friend of mine,

His friends were in danger, and Scarlet was near.

So a journey was born, to hide my fears.

I am Peril, now with a father I know,

He works with Scarlet, but just for the gold.

The necklace he gave me,

Seemed to mend my soul.

Now I could touch others, yet something seemed wrong,

Fuzzy blanks were left, where there were once memories.

Then something broke, and my freedom was gone.

The necklace I wore, had to be taken off.

Then a shell cracked, and memories flooded back to my mind.

I am Peril, and my faith was gone.

Scarlet was dead, as all bad should be.

And for once,

I wasn't alone.
