A fallen dawn

第2話 Farewell

I am the spark born from flame,

With no body, no face, nor name.

A promise made, and thus I came,

The loyal fox to serve the same.

I watched them fight, I watched them fall,

The elders, masters? one and all.

A fleeting life, a fading call,

Till none remained upon the wall.

My heart once held a love, so clear,

Pengyao, the one I held most dear.

Yet time’s harsh tide sweeps ever near,

And love becomes both dust and tear.

Through fire I rose, a vow to keep,

While in the dark, the shadows creep.

But all I love is lost to sleep,

As Heaven claims what earth can’t keep.

Pengyao’s journey, fate did steer,

From Karma Flame to Immortal Seer.

A path once ours, now hers to veer,

Beyond my reach, yet always near.

I watched her rise, the woman bold,

With spear in hand, her courage cold.

Yet deep inside, a heart of gold,

To bear the weight of tales untold.

And here I stand, my task now done,

A lonely fox, beneath the sun.

The paths we walked, our battles won,

But all that’s left is none, just one.

Farewell, fair love, take Heaven’s grace;

I’ll roam this world, no need to chase.

A wisp of flame, a fleeting trace,

Content to wander, leave no place.

So here I vow, both fierce and free,

To cherish still that memory,

Of those we were and used to be,

Before life led us separately.

Though Heaven calls, I shall not go,

For me, no road, no final show.

In earth and flame, I’ll dance and flow,

My heart’s last ember, soft and low.
