Crystals of Liberation

By Kainen

She had a family once

In a town not far from here

Strong and proud and true they were

They knew not that thing called fear

*

A Lord he is; a wife he loved

Together they had had a daughter

A cheerful one she was so true

Who never saw the slaughter

*

In times of Arms and War

Enemies had flooded the gate

Brave fighting; foolish dying

The Battlefield left in horrid state

*

As conquerors left, the weak had licked their wounds

The people defeated; mournful cries they did raise

Mother slain, Father broken

The child had wept long days

*

Now years later

The child leaves her home

Skills precise, training done

The Lands she goes to roam

*

Eyes so sharp, hands much quicker

She seeks from all of those

Who carry the globes of power

So in palm she cups the strength that glows

*

Around the Planet the young girl travels

Determined in her mind that she

Will one day, surely see that

Wutai will once again be free
