A girl with such prodigious talent pushed over the edge
Trauma driven between her and her fate like a wedge
Though she still is loved by many deities up here
It's the god of rage to which her heart is now most near
Sky went home to find her parents sitting quietly
She had no siblings and her parents raised her carefully
Both were quite well travelled and as strong as they were wise
And solemn understanding filled both of her parents’ eyes
Her father’s name was Oak, and it was fitting for the man
He was tall and strong, and never was without a plan
Her mother’s name was Hawk, and she had grown into it well
No change escaped her gaze and she had many tales to tell

A woman with perception matched by very few around
Nothing would escape her sight, and she hears every sound
Secrets are like puzzles which she solves too easily
But even she, her god as well, can’t solve this easily
“Sky, you’re home at last, we have a lot to talk about
It seems you’ve had a grand adventure while you all were out”
Her voice was cold and calm but in her eyes there was a flame
And Sky could not have imagined the next few words that came
“Never in my life have I seen gods in such a state
And I have never witnessed the System retaliate
Your friend is caught up in a matter I don’t understand

And I fear something else entirely might now be at hand”
She looked toward her husband, Oak, and nodded solemnly
And he pulled out a letter that was folded quite neatly
He handed it to Sky to read and her eyes opened wide
“But how could such a letter end up in the countryside?!”
The letter was addressed to both her parents from the king
The crest and seal were both very certainly the real thing
It told of how the portals were increasing every day
Causing new dangers in an unprecedented way
Heroes and the strong from all around were being called
To assist in new defenses now being installed
They would report to the capital in just a weak
And prepare to face the future, no matter how bleak

An archer who can find his target from quite far away
His magic arrows and precision often save the day
But his insight isn’t limited to hunting game
His natural intelect is far too wild to tame
“The king would only send this if the worst was truly feared
It is likely some unknown threat recently appeared
It may be related to young Twig, but maybe not
All we know is something put our kingdom on the spot”
Her father said no more, but still her mother wasn’t done
“We must go, but it seems that your own quest has begun
Such a class as that may seem repulsive and obscene
But if it has found you, there just one thing it could mean
Your friend needs you now, and you must challenge fate with him
I wish I could keep you here, but our own fate looks grim
Something big is coming and you may just play a part
Just remember not to rely only on your heart”
