My heart aches before I'm taken away, with the world collapsing between my feet

  Carelessness showers my head, reminding me I have no control of it

  This time my eyes paint the world in a field of green, blue, and pink

  The flowers blossoming amidst the smell of coming spring

  My sadness the scene desperately wanted to drown

  Steal away the memories and truth with him that I found

  The flesh on my body suddenly tenses up and hardens

  Before I could realize it, my body freezes, and my crying stutters

  An attack lodged at me out of nowhere by a mighty beast

  Its skin scaly, like a dragon without its wings

  A flash and a cut, followed by a myriad of slashes

  A warrior in light clothing by me dashes

  Her eyes I can see filled with utmost anger

  Her hand moved by hatred for her target

  A hollow breath before resuming a proud stature

  Movement and striking that the body may shatter

  A language peculiar I can slowly come to understand

  And once again I see that time has moved rapidly across this land

  Far away from the times I met with the red helmets

  This world beats time even when it comes to the four-headed serpents

  I escaped death with sheer luck from what she told me

  A daily occurrence is the scenario laid before me

  A land plagued by beasts and humanity's lust for dominion

  Her words of conviction yell her refusal to be another one's minion

  The wonder of how I once again cross paths with another strange soul lingers

  This time I was saved and found, my life like her blade, handled between her fingers

  My wiped tears in her quake turned into admiration

  But hastiness forces us into a quick separation

  A few more brash words spoken as she told me to head in another direction

  No malice but care between her actions as she headed opposite, to separation

  That new day I was saved by a student, with anger, conviction and no hessitation
