RISE OF THE SUNFLOWER WARRIOR (OUT OF CRENWELL, INTO ADVENTURE)

RISE OF THE SUNFLOWER WARRIOR (OUT OF CRENWELL, INTO ADVENTURE)

For years under training, she has perfected her craft
As she practices in the sunflower garden
She knew that those days weren’t going to last
As she felt her muscles harden
They said she would fail when she entered the tower
Of the castle that was long vacated
Slowly but surely she has built up her power
She trained, meditated and waited
They said she would never make it and laughed in her face
But she would soon show them all
Because now she was ready to leave this place
And go back to the Iron Wall
She vowed to come back but no one believed
They thought that she was too weak
She’s stronger than ever and now all will see
That her vow was much more than a speech
She looks down at the flower that last one that stands
Among a kingdom that now lies in ruins
She kneels down and touches a petal with her hands
Affirming she knew what she was doing
The sunflower has grown for hundreds of years
Like her, the sunflower refuses to die
She been through it all and shed many tears
But no longer will she break down and cry
She stares at the sunflower and sees its strength
To keep on growing no matter what the odds
She uses its name because she’ll go to great lengths
To keep going no matter what the odds
So now she prepares to leave Crenwell
For what seems to be an impossible trek
She now is preparing on a adventure through hell
And who knows what will happen next.
