Oblivious
I wake up in prison
No memory of who I am
Where I am from
Or what I have done
A rude man across the hall
Is my only company
Speaks of my doom
My fate is sealed
Hark! The guards approach
The man has his last laugh
Are they here to kill me?
Wait, who's that man in regalia?
A man of great importance
The Emperor himself
Claiming to know me
I stand in awe and listen
A secret entrance reveals itself
Dust fills the air
I am a free woman
To pursue a second chance
The passage is dark
I stick close for safety
What ho? A foe in red cloak
Come to kill the Emperor
The guards fight well
Alas, one is slain
A young woman of beauty
Appearing to be my age
The remaining part disappears
I scavenge for clothing
For weapons to aid
I'll borrow her Katana (she doesn't need it)
Goblins, rats, and darkness galore
More loot and riches found
To aid my new-found freedom
Will I find the party again?
Our paths cross once more
Danger around every corner
The guards hold fast
The Emperor by my side
He hands me his amulet
An amulet of glimmering gold
And a large, sparkling ruby
Is this goodbye?
A man clad in crimson and armor
Forces a knife in the Emperor's back
A regal man spread on the ground
And red death standing before me
The Katana shows great promise
The red death is bested
The last guard remains
Distraught over his failure
I have been entrusted
To carry out the Emperor's deed
The Katanas collected for burial
I'm on my own againMore rats, goblins, and darkness
Yet, the path shows bright light
Beyond the gate breathes life anew
Wish me luck in my future endeavors
