Ronin Child

By Raven Dreamer

You never told me,

I hadn't learned your name,

But when you came to save me,

I discovered your real fame.

I am not the one you seek,

I am not that girl.

Not the one of that special armor,

Who makes the flags of honor unfurl.

I'm just your average preteen,

Living all alone.

But, the tiger seems to like me,

And the Dynasty burned down my home.

My love for you will never change,

Even though you've been spirited away,

I love you more than life itself,

I'll find you again,

Someday.

My heart has been stolen,

My life has but one goal,

I will help you and your friends,

Using this strange power that is my own.

My life is on the line here,

I really cannot fight,

But somehow I'll make this work,

And bring eternal light.

Rowan, oh my Rowan,

How I love you so,

But I am not the same as you,

And I soon must go.

Life is not as simple here,

I have things to do,

People will ask about me,

They do not believe in you.

So Talpa and the warlords,

All have to wait.

But I will finish this ageless battle,

If that is to be my fate.
