Episode 8: The Princess & the Witch

This episode starts with a quick bit about me facing the world and its perception of me and then I go into introducing two of my characters in first person as an experiment to see if I sound different even when not really thinking about my voice from an outside perspective.

The characters are Sapphire and Elonine, whom I have spoken of before in this podcast. Sapphire, from one of the Dungeons & Dragons-campaigns I play, is the princess character who is inspired by queen Ozma of the books about Oz. Elonine is a barbarian witch from Symbaroum who, during that campaign came to terms with her own capabilities and grew confident enough to feel comfortable with her future responsibilities as a clan keeper.

And here is the sonnet:

A glimmer of hope 

My heart cannot begin to state, 

The depths of love I did not know, 

I thought I must accept my fate; 

The path I’ve walked since long ago. 

For joy and love could only yearn, 

Through mist of angst I could not see, 

Their kindness guided me to learn, 

The answer right in front of me. 

They all stepped up, and even though 

I held them all in high regard, 

I never thought that they’d bestow 

A wounded bird their earned reward. 

My heart cannot begin to state, 

A friendship bond, a love so great.
