Never Again

Never again.

Never again will Keladry of Mindelan ride.

Never again.

Neither will she rescue her people,
from the clutches of Blayce.

Never again will the lady knight of Tortall
ride off into the enemy's land.

Never again will she cross the Vassa, and cross it again.

Never again will there be a train of people,

Young and old,

Tall and stout.

Never again will she see her parents, her sisters, brothers, cousins, and family,

Never again will she hear the cries

of teases and taunts,

comebacks and flaunts.

Never again will she meet the Scanrans,

cutting them down, band by band.

Instead she will lay to rest in the stomachs,

of crazy, silver, travesties,

never again to draw breath,

in the world she died helping.

Never again.
