Solitary Flames---Tisha Korantonu/Sailor Snotra
I'm a candle in the dark,
The future flickers in my eyes.
I can see the coming hardships,
I know the triumphs and mistakes,
And yet my course remains unaltered.
I will fight destiny although I know I can't.
I seek out other flames like me.
My Sailor sisters, our friends, loves, guardians, and the Cosmic Kindred.
We may say the we are champions of justice and love,
But we lie to our selves.
We are merely puppets of time, out Gray Mistress.
Our struggles amuse her.
She laughs for a small time, but then jerk on our strings to pull us apart from each other.
She knows that if we joined together we could change her.
She doesn't like to be altered.
She has lost her hold on me.
I no longer count my age in years,
Instead I count the times I have cried.
Each time it was because the Gray One had her claws in me or my loved ones.
I have had my heart torn from my chest several times.
Yet I have not lost my emotions,
Nor have I lost hope.
I believe in the lonely flames.
They have my trust and love.
I will stand beside them as we struggle against our Gray Mistress.
We may not be able to change her,
But we will be remembered for opposing her.
Stand and be counted among the flickering few.
Don't try to fight your destiny,
I know that you want to.
Search your heart and find yourself among the ranks of the Solitary Flames.
