Lost in the void, adrift in the stars, the world I knew has slipped too far. Everything shattered, everything new— I walk through the ashes of what I once knew. What am I now? A Lari’Sota in name, a daughter undone by a shifting flame. A sister, a shadow, a whisper of more— a soul who once knew what her body was for. Trained for pleasure, shaped for one, given to my Aiya like a moon to her sun. My beloved, missing, yet safe from harm— I still feel her heartbeat like a phantom charm. What am I now, in this citadel bright, where safety glitters but bonds hold tight. I’m free in the daylight, chained in the dark— a wandering ember without a spark. I was her sister, though not by blood, her lover, her secret in the midnight flood. We schemed like witches with a single breath— now I stand alone in these ruins of death. My sister is lost, my mother gone still, my lover swept under a merciless will. My Emperor vanished like smoke in the rain I’m left with an echo, the ache, and the pain. What am I now, when my purpose has no use? I was made for your pleasure, yet I hold the right to refuse A blessing once given, a curse in this place— a spell I can’t break, a fate I can’t face. I have known love, and I’ve tasted its cost— every joy a fragile thread, every heartbeat lost. Now a child grows quietly, a secret in my womb— a lantern in the shadows, a prophecy in bloom. What am I now with the stars rearranged? Not only a sister, a daughter still changed. No longer a lover, but something more true— a mother becoming beneath a sky turning blue. Is this my way, or the path fate has spun? I walk through the darkness to meet the new sun.
