girl,
with an accent of blood
who speaks in foreign tongues
whose vowels are the sound of metal clashing
warrior,
with fire in her veins
and armor beneath her skin
who crushes earth beneather her feet
immortal,
hair streaked with daggers
and iron filling her lungs
each breath ivitingly toxic
princess,
with lips made of glass
and voice cut from steel
features born from thunder and battle
heroine,
a grin made for war
and eyes flecked with ash
striding, powerful, into the arms of death
perhaps she will be the one you
follow into battle [t.r.]
