it! Thank you to Cap'n Dampeal and Hero Genkaku for

Update: Er... Yes, I did. This was "You Stay" until it didn't
make sense to me that way.

Scars of the Soul
(A tribute to Xianglian)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sister, I pray you, show me the way
to the salvation of yesterday
when I stumbled into you through the fray
and, fighting, cried, "Is there no other way?"
Softly, you spoke, "Nothing will come of hate,"
but I could not stop - it was too late.
Around us was madness, a battle worth not
a single reason for which it was fought.
"Here, come on!" I held steady my stance,
"The first move is yours!" You had no chance.
But reaching with a smile on your pained face,
you brushed my cheek gently with soothing grace.
And holding me close, you made me whole.
You listened to the beat of my soul
as it burned with rage and cold denial
while we - for one monent - reconciled.
This storm within me, you took; it grew
'til I heard you sing, "I'm done with you."
Then you scarred my cheek where your frail hand touched
and I pierced your heart in your frenzy, rushed.
"Sorry, but I need you to stay down."
My last words to you like honor bound
your fate in my hands, and your blood-soaked gown
furled about you like a shroud on the ground.
And you said, "Thank you."
Even if it'd take my whole lifetime,
for you, I'd swear my soul on the line
if I could atone for your sacrifice,
I pray you, might my worthless life suffice?

Explanation: (slight SPOILERS) Kilik to Xianglian, Xianghua's
long-lost elder-sister-she-never-knew.
Methodology: I took a lot of Kilik's in-game dialogue and
put them through my trusty mind-blender. The only one I
recalled, but didn't use, was "This Rod will be your Doom!"
-----...so, whatcha think? Is it him? O.o;
