From a world of High Science
to Amber she came.
And found herself surrounded
by the technologically lame.
She looked at the castles
and horses with pity.
And said with chagrin,
"you think this is the One True City?"
With Sebastian in tow
she made quite a stir.
Cut off Sir Egon's hand,
and ruffled his fur.
She searched for the answers
to the vision she had,
of a shining silver Pattern
and her long lost dad.
On fire with Power
and in battle she found him.
The forces of Chaos
arranged all around them.
Upon the Pattern she walked
toward Corwin her star.
And without his protection
she would not have got far
He dared not to fail
now that he'd found her.
So his love was the shield
that he placed all around her.
Unconditional Love
is the price you must pay
for love makes a thing
endureth and stay.
In anguish she saw
his grand sacrifice.
What could she give back?
What would ever suffice?
She laid out her plan
at the big family moot
save Corwin from cancer,
and the Universe to boot.
Among much debating
and pointings of finger
she saw little progress
and chose not to linger.
She grabbed up dear Corwin
and away she did go
to the Silvery Pattern
with Aramis in tow.
On errands she sent him,
and in the end,
got the Jewel of Judgement
from her quick-fingered friend.
With Powers unequaled
she fulfilled her desire
and saved every one of us,
and her dying sire.
A living Flame
through and through.
She disappeared
in a Rainbow hue.
She lived a life worthy
of an epic song.
But the flame that burns twice as bright
only burns half as long.
There was no ritual to mark this passing.
No royal funeral boat.
Just this singular epitaph,
Noel-the perfect note.
Aramis
