This one's really short, because Hlenn is poetic and I decided to use a song she wrote. I stopped it at that length because longer would have been forced. I might add another episode for her, or otherwise she'll keep showing up in future stories.


Hlenn Rambutan- District Eleven (16)


They say that we eat by the sweat of our brow,

Until we return to the ground

But I climbed a tall tree, I crawled out on the bough

And like from a cocoon, my wings were unbound


A caterpillar creeps, looking up at the sky

How does she know what she knows?

But for something to live, something must die

A leaf falls from a swift-wilting rose


Butterfly girl

Spread out your wings

Butterfly girl

Marvelous things!

Butterfly girl

The life in you sings


I came from a place of dirt and of soil

Out of earth our world grows up to heaven

A soul in a shell, a caterpillar coiled

Bursting out to the new life she's given


Rapturous rebirth! Your life all ahead

Flutter up with a wing and a prayer

Take in the whole world, before you all spread

Loose a soul that is lighter than air


Butterfly girl

Spread out your wings

Butterfly girl

Marvelous things!

Butterfly girl

The life in you sings
