Lilium

Little Doll,
who carries the name of the most
beautiful
Flower...

Could you please,
bring me something from
your parents
Tower?

Of course, Dear Shadow.

What is it you so humbly ask to
Endow?

Walk back to your castle,
dear child,
and make it
your family’s
Tomb...

For all I really yearn for lies
within
your mother’s
womb.

I once heard of a man
who will become like
no other...

Could you please bring me your
still unborn
brother?

„The Shadow bowed in
gratitude, completing
her task.”

Would you like anything in
return
might I ask?

Please, I hope you won’t find me
wrong...
I would like to play, laugh and
dance, all night
long.
But no matter
what I want,
I would find a friend the most
relevant.

I’m sorry
dear little flower.

Friends I can not give.

It is sadly beyond my power.

Then I would like my brother
back.
for this little deal of ours,
just turned awfully sour.

What good are you if you make
me weep?
Please have my brother returned
By the gates of my keep.

Neither your brother I can give
you.

What you gave is given.
I merely strive for a way to make
even.

Seeing my offer is merely out of
kindness...
This child will never know the
embrace of your fortress.

Then I wish for a way to have
you undone,
kind Shadow.

I want you mauled and buried
by the darkest and most
blighted
meadow.

Fair enough,
little flower.

Without feelings of either vain or rue,
I will grant your one wish come true.

Without honor,
without grace
you will travel to
the darkest place.

Untouched by the vilest of
gloom,
your skin will always run paler
than our brightest moon.

Travel the road of which I
pointed,
and be forever gone.

For sure,
one day you will have
me
undone.

Thank you kindly,

Shadow
of whom I don’t
know.
