Once upon a reverie
there was a creature, it was me
Born a scourge of my own world
a mystery my birth unfurled
My story is one long and twisted
but, for your pleasure, it is here listed
Perhaps my stress would be diminished
if one were to listen until I am finished
My home was peaceful: grass and sun
My day comprised of empty fun
I longed to escape, and to my dismay
my call was answered as I did play
In an instant, childhood was erased
Fate did Its work with merciful haste
Like a budding flower from ashes risen
I had escaped from my verdant prison
My home behind me, all was well
until upon me the heavy truth fell
What could I hope to become?
as but a beast, one crude and dumb
I tried my luck with those I met
but Man saw me as naught but pet
so from the Wild I had trekked
only to have my ambitions wrecked
The lifestyle of tooth and claw
was always there; nature's law
To it I always dreaded return
but my future I could not discern
The wrath of man and nature's grip
I was determined to give both the slip
and vowed I did that I'd never let
any more rules upon me be set
Adrift in ignorance, no path to follow
I searched my soul, so empty and hollow
Until I found, beneath all the fear
that there was inside me a light so dear
To this day, I strive to secure
the lofty level of the guide so pure
Though the light has long since gone out
of a greater state I but silence the doubt
I've suffered the loss of all my kin
not one exists in the whole of Rhydin
nor anywhere else, so far as I see
My nameless species dies with me
Despite the pain, I keep my poise
Were I to cry, it'd be lost in the noise
But do I care? No! You'll see not a tear
It's all been taken, I've nothing to fear
To those of this world, my only advice:
Stay out of my way, or accept the price
I offer no mercy, nor patience for rules
I am the Kolava; I've no time for fools
