A young girls skips through the paths of her home
Humming to herself she was usually alone
A dog for a friend stayed at her side
Spying on her father watching him train
How well she learned to be silent and hide
Activity a flurry all about
All of the town folk trying to get out
A warning rang through
Straight to the bone
A Great Moore dragon was attacking her home
Acerbius they said was the black ones name
Many he left on the streets
Dead and mamed
The children ran frightened not sure where to go
Down came the dragon's breath
with a fierce raging blow
She flew from the strike
Thrown out of the way
Two major things she would lose this day
The fires all over town
She could no longer see
But heard every sound
A man dragged her away as she fought
Hiding her from the havoc that was wrought
Her father had taken his blade in hand
And in saving her now was gone from this land
No mother since birth was her reality
Valkinord was no more for her to see
North to a new place is where she would stay
Learning to live with her loss she sang
Growing in skill until came the day
For her to depart from her mentor and friend
No longer a child she fled her prison
The first of the Xocnalic people to leave
She no longer wanted to stay and to grieve
Traveling through mountains and forests and plains
Her voice lifted high becoming one with the rain
A call to the wild came from her song
The plea always answered by the animals in throngs
She their voice
And they her sight
So long as she has breath
All will be right
