Princess Sword

The greatest warriors do not always wear silver armor

Her dress is royal purple,

and gleaming with gold,

Her skin is pale and smooth,

free from the scars of sun and toil,

She may be the princess of her kingdom

But her eyes are fierce as any warrior's

Her grip on the hilt tightens

As flames flare out around her

She stands, ready for any battle.
