The Bladed Lady's Flight

by Sprite Guard

The Bladed Lady killed ten men
    Now ten more men pursued her
So towards the Valley Low she ran
    Escape into the fire

Up mountains steep she ran so fast
    You'd think she's on the level
The men knew strength like that can't last
    So they went slow and careful

At mountain's peak a sheer rock wall
    They had her now, they reckon
But up she climbed, and did not fall
    Perhaps they chased a demon

They made their careful way around
    As reckless she fled onward
The slope so steep that she slid down
    A wonder she's uninjured

Ahead of her she saw a glow
    Uncanny light was shining
And so her pace began to slow
    And soon her knees were shaking

The Blue Haunt loomed before her then
    No words could scarce describe it
She turned back towards the band of men
    No thought but to escape it

A thousand times the county jail
    She thought as she was fleeing
A thousand times her quest to fail
    Than face what she was facing
