held flaming fire, in the palm of her alabaster hand
healed the sick, gave counsel to her tight-knit band
til' the dragon came and made his insidious stand
An ancient evil, hell-bent on once and for all
ending her starlight worship and healing call
everywhere, she could sense this villainous snake
spying over the eaves, enforcing his religious take
To subjugate all, was his master plan
effecting poverty and sadness across the land
turmoil and chaos hastily ensued
once peaceful communities, now desolate and ruined
Then, with righteous rage, she took up her father's sword
slayed the serpent that had brought her community low
restoring peace and truth to a once lush and vibrant land
her herbal healing and wise counsel now in demand
