Warrior Princess

Chapter 1

Part 1:

Alone in her room she sat

In her red velvet chair

Long blonde hair

Cascading down her shoulders

She didn't know how long

The enemy would hold her

Here in this pretend room

Of luxury

The carpet was gold

Glimmering in the light

The war at its height

It reminded her

Of the armor

The soldiers wore

Would they come for her?

She didn't know

The fire aglow

Lit up her pale face

Once adorned in paint

She now looked faint

She sighed

Brushing her hair

This routine to keep her sane

Was brittle from pain

A knock at the door

The chair knocked over

Out of her fright

She had jumped up

Ready to fight

Hair brush in hand

She had nothing more

She dared not hide

Show no weakness

She beckoned them enter

And instead of a server

It was a soldier

Adorned in his flashy armor

Cocky and young

She held her hairbrush close

Unsure why he chose

To bother her at this hour

He came into the room

Never shut the door

He said he had news

And she feared uncertain doom
