When chance upon the road did meet,
Valor and Disdain.

One reached out her hand to greet,
‘Cross he raised to brain.

Blow upon the sainted crown;
Rivers red with rage.

Brother standing,
Looking down.

“Sister,”
Said the sage.

Turned, he, slow,
And all for naught;
Seeing as she’d been:

Valor slain,
What has Wrath wrought?
Vengeance comes again.

Fearing Furies and failing fast,
Pressed against the steel.

Our villain thought,
He’d breathe his last.

Haste made an appeal,

“Know you not,
For what I did,
The darkest deed,
I have not hid!

My God above,
Sees all you do,
He has no love,
For ones like you!”

Taken back by this attack,
Spirit in a bind.
Keres rose behind her back,
Steel yet left to find!

“I hearken not,
These words of hate!
Their woe betwixt!
Hath sealed your fate!”

Dashing in,
Aegis high,
Aura’s winds,
Made Valor spry!

Upon the task,
She fell herself.
Knowing gasp;
Accrued her wealth.

Darkest deed,
For point of love.
Driven to,
His God above.
