"Will I Think of You?" by Tennibrook Balmossie

As I lay dying
Bleeding out in the Snowy North
The clang of battle fading from my ears
Will I think of you?

I fight to serve the empire
And I fight and serve well
As death surrounds me and claims me
Will I think of you?

I knew this could happen
Anytime I left my room
The life of the paladin is not an easy one
Perhaps least of all so in Virelith

I've watched friends and loved ones die before
Cut down in their prime
I've survived two siblings, and my mother and father
You're really the only family I have left

As I ascend to the pyta'shuka*
To be comforted by The Lady and Trejani
I know that you will be anticipating my return
And joyfully we will reunite

Yes, as the darkness consumes me
I do think of you, my Salla
I love you, and trust that you'll be waiting for me
Back in this place we call home



*Pyta'shuka: The place where vulpines go between lives, to be comforted by The Lady and Trejani until they're resurrected.

Very touching reminded me of losing Sorgram. Tender memories, nice write up.
