Wow, it feels like it's been forever since I did something that wasn't a request! Heh, and Knoll's on break, so he can't hit me on the head with a spell-book. Well, this is a poem about Myrrh. The manakete. I think manakete sounds like some sort of magical bird or something but oh well. Life must go on, right? Here's the poem for ya!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MYRRH'S MINUETE

Umm...I'm Myrrh.

My story?

I guess I can tell you.

I am...a manakete.

A member of the dragon tribe...

That long ago helped to fight...the Demon King.

My father is the chief of the Manaketes.

He is...my only family.

But he was...so kind to me.

And he always made me happy.

-------------------------------------

I live in Darkling Woods.

Home to the manakete tribe.

We are a mysterious people

That can transform into...fire-breathing dragons.

Near the Darkling woods...

Is Caer Pelyn.

Mountain people that worship us,

And the Great Dragon.

I am...the physical form of the Great Dragon.

Misstress Myrrh.

---------------------

I...do not know much about the outside world.

But, when a great evil came from the south...

I went to do battle with it.

But...I lost.

This dark power...

It was far beyond me alone.

I am...too weak to battle it by myself.

No matter how pure someone is...

It seems to best them.

I hope...that I can find help to stop it.

-------------------------------------------

The Sage, Saleh

Aided me, and we headed for Grado.

But along the way...

The darkness enchanted and tricked me.

I was separated from Saleh.

The soldiers...were loading me up for transport...

When Ephraim came and saved me.

He was a kind and powerful individual.

He offered to protect me,

An innocent young girl.

I...can never forget his kindness.

-----------------------------------

We traveled...and later met up with Lady Eirika.

She...was just as kind.

I envyed how close they were.

So, I asked Ephraim if I could call him brother.

If only...during the time that I traveled with him.

He said that I could...but it was a little awkward to him.

He even said...

That I was able to live with them if I so desired it.

Families are meant to stay together...

It was such a nice offering...but it would be so strange for me.

Ephraim said there would be plenty of room for me.

I guess that I'll have to think about it...

When the war is over...

Yep. That's Myrrh for ya. I personally think that Myrrh is a cool character. I mean, you don't see innocent young girls that can transform into dragons everyday do you? And she has RED EYES! I mean, how cool is tha- Knoll: Breaktime's over. Me: Oh, it is. You were gone quite a while. I made a poem about Myrrh while you were gone. Knoll: I just saw Myrrh. She seems more...lively. I guess it's because everything is normal again. Should I go ahead and close this for you? Me: Sure, go ahead. Knoll: Okay. Um...Ciao.
