I was born to fight.
My veins course with singing wildfire
My hands are rough like my fathers who worked the land
My eyes are sharp and made of silver stone
I see everything.
I have never taken a bridle
I have never felt a brand
Some men have tried to break me,
They end up with their backs in the dust.
They curse me as the Widowmaker
That's why I married the wind;
His fingers pull my hair
His arms guard me against the souls of humans
He calls me his lone lover.
No one knows what to think of me
I am the last warrior on this Earth
My red twin left too early
So I battle alone.
