Once upon a
Time,
There was a
Girl,
A Clever
Girl,
A brown haired
Girl…
Who,
Despite
Her
Cleverness,
Went unheard
When
A dragon
In disguise
Was
Brought
Into
Her
Castle,
By the
Captain,
The
Clockmakers
And the
Navigator.
Her warnings
Went
Unheeded
While the
Shaman,
A Wizard
Wearing
Manskin
And the
Dragon
Had their
Way,
Causing the
Brown haired
Girl,
The
Clever
Girl
To Flee
Across the
Night
Ocean
As all
Clocks
Ran ever
Faster
The
Dragon
In
Pursuit…
One
Day,
The
Brown
Haired Girl,
The
Different
Cassandra
Turned
Around
And
Embraced
The
Dragon,
Protecting
Their Child
Their
Strange
And terrible
Daughter
To herself,
Tumbling
Into Hell
Cradling
Her
Strange
And terrible
Daughter
To the body
She had burst
Asunder,
Cherishing
This child
And the
World she
Would devour
If
Allowed,
A bloody
Crucifix
Against
The
Flames.
