The Ballad of The Virtuous Demon

  By Jofre Elman

  There once was a virtuous demon

  Who came along one day

  Some say that she was a dreamin’

  That she would be okay

  The demon encountered misfortune

  Upon reaching the town

  The guards they tried a hurtin’

  The demon huntin her down

  The demon then made a friend

  And she was given bread

  They came to care for each other

  But the friend was filled with dread

  The friend then betrayed the demon

  The demon wound up in jail

  It was there she encountered the reaper

  It was there that she did wail

  The friend got herself in trouble

  The orcs tried to take her head

  If she didn’t find a way out

  She would have wound up dead.

  It was then that the demon showed kindness

  Despite having been betrayed

  Though our eyes were filled with blindeness

  The demon still came to aid

  The demon’s heart had saved six people

  Preventing endless dismay

  She fought and fought and finally won

  On that one deep dark day

  Oh virtuous demon we thank you

  May you continue to save

  Though helping you may be a taboo

  We pray that you will be safe
