who are you

Who are you ancient one
with wings black as a starless night
eyes as green as the forest's leaves

I was a huntress
a protector of nature

who are you ancient one
with teeth and claws sharp as knifes
fires of destruction and rebirth

I killed those who threatened me
protected those I loved

who are you ancient one
your eyes glow with sadness and pain
your wings folded and destroyed

I wasn't able to kill the threat
was defeated by those who killed my loved ones

who are you ancient one
chained in this dark cave
your fires extinguished

I was chased by those I fought
hunted down and enslaved

who are you ancient one
your eyes changing colors to black
your sadness replaced by anger

I am destroyed
my soul is dead

who are you ancient one
your warming fire now cold as ice
your halo pure darkness and danger

I am a huntress
assassin trained to kill

who are you ancient one
the blood of your loved ones on your claws
the victory of your enemies you made possible

I am my master's slave
I do as commanded

who are you ancient one
dying in my arms
killed by your own claws

I won't let them use me
I decided to die to protect those I love

who are you ancient one
the taint of those who enslaved you gone
your dead eyes green again

The chains are broken
My soul is free

who are you ancient one
why did you leave me alone
I can't protect our people alone

I am you and you are me
We protect our people together

always
I am you
