On the swampy fields of an exhausted war Of a country torn apart in strife, Warriors fight for their own causes, For peace For bread For glory. But one has loyalty to neither side. A shadow A snake A Traitor. A spy infiltrating their defenses. She knows all their secrets, and yet she knows nothing— For who doesn’t question the point of their existence? She knows nothing of the future. Why try? You find nothing by searching the murky waters of destiny. And nothing is what she cares about. She leads a lonely life. A mercenary A thief A Snitch. The **** of existence. But it’s an interesting life. At least for the time being.
