The battle around me surged,
I was surrounded all by war,
Almost helpless I laid there,
My body reduced to blood and gore,

My blood seeped into the fields,
Adding to all the rest,
My eyes rolled back in my head,
As I breathed my final breaths,

"Ialie.." someone whispered,
As everything seemed to fade,
"I didn't want to do this,"
"But it's the choice you made,"

I could have loved you, sweet one,
If you only you could see,
The awful mistake you made,
When you chose a tainted over me,

My eyelids fluttered then,
As I strained to look in his eyes,
Shocked that it was by a Seren's hand,
That I now had to die,

He sat down next to me,
Pulled my head into his lap,
And upon my sweaty forehead,
He placed a gentle tap,

He tilted back my head,
Gave my cheek a little peck,
As he brought forth a dagger,
And brought it to my neck,

Chaos utterly surrounded us,
Within those burning fields,
No one could see or hear,
Beyond the clash of sword and shield,

"IALIE!" someone screamed,
It seemed so distant to me then,
But weakly I turned my head,
And saw that it was him,

"Murphy.." I mouthed,
To weak to speak his name,
My attacker looked up at him,
His anger suddenly enflamed!

"You!" The villain screamed,
"You, are the one to blame!"
"I loved her with all my heart"
"And still she spoke your name!"

The proud Dracnari said nothing,
As he advanced upon the knave,
His forces came for other reasons,
But it was me he would save,

No expression could be seen,
His bone helm concealed it all,
But lightning quick he struck,
The villain was dead before the fall,

Just a moment later,
Murphy was there at my side,
Stroking back my hair,
While silently he cried,

With a gasping breath I woke,
Though scared, I was glad to feel,
That though our nations fought,
I knew he loved me still
