- To call on [[ttrpgs/The Slayers FivePort Damali/Aro]]
He once was the smartest boy in town
an arrow's wit in speech,
Sweet and kind with nary a frown
and the whole world in his reach.
And then the war came blowing by
and off to fight he went,
For in his heart, he couldn't lie
while others' blood was spent.
Yet now he lies still, dead and bold,
his life a shoddy tool,
the empire's pockets lined with gold
and him a grinning fool.
And now I lie still, love untold,
my life a shallow pool,
My words unsaid, my heart unsold,
and I'm the grinning fool.
