Rachel

Girl,
with an accent of blood
who speaks foreign tongues
whose vowels are the sounds of metal clashing.
Warrior,
with fire in her veins
and armor beneath her skin
who crushes the earth beneath her feet.
Immortal,
hair streaked with daggers
and iron filling her lungs
each breath invitingly toxic.
Princess,
with lips made of glass
and a voice cut from steel
features born from thunder and battle.
Heroine,
a grin made for war
and eyes flecked with ash
striding, powerful, into the arms of death.
