"Pass on the Torch"
The oldest, heir to the throne
Full of brightness, responsibilities, ambitions
Separation
Leaves the home to find a world left to conquer
Pass on the torch
~
The second in line, the heiress of beauty
A world over her feet
Finds love to strike three times
Leaves to a land of ice and snow without even thinking of what would be
Left behind
Pass on the torch
~
The third in line, the intelligent beauty
Hope
Is given away to a home of lesser wealth
Gives refuge to the aging king and queen
Despair, leaves
Pass on the torch
~
The fourth in line, second son to the family
Aims to right the wrongdoings of those before him
Strong-willed, passionate, capable
Succumbs to disease and holds the last one's hand: "It is up to you to finish the job."
Pass on the torch
~
The final in line, the youngest
The last bloodline
New to a world that is ever changing from the shelter she once had
Sacrifices those who have not yet come to her aid to fulfill the duty
Of those who passed the torch onto her:
Happiness, love, freedom
And she wonders to herself as the aging king and queen
Continue to wither
Who could she pass the torch onto
When there is no one left behind her?
