Note: Here's another new haiku poem that I made. It revolves around Yue Ying, a playable character from the Dynasty Warriors series. Not only was this woman the wife of the great strategist Zhuge Liang, she also possessed a great mind that almost matched his own. Warriors Orochi is one of the many games owned by Koei.
Unwavering Faith
The sunlight grew harsh,
When a woman was set free,
From her caged prison.
A lady of war,
Her kingdom's last stand had failed,
Much to her duress.
Though she battled hard,
Her foes fought with inventions,
That thwarted her own.
During her escape,
The path was barricaded,
by her own husband.
Confused and betrayed,
She evaded his assaults,
Until he withdrew.
Despite his actions,
The woman's marital faith,
Refused to waver.
Note: Yue Ying's predicament in the first game is pretty rough. Not only does this lady get captured, but she's forced to fight her own husband once Zhao Yun and the others find out that he's been working as one of the Serpent King's minions. Talk about domestic violence, huh? Of course, there's always a reason behind Zhuge Liang's actions. Play Orochi's story mode in the second game to find out how this happened in the first place.
