Like the polished surface of Ivory in the summer sun, her skin shone with an ethereal light.

Pride of the seven Kingdoms, her beauty was a sight without slight.

The men of the seven kingdoms worshipped at the door of her hut

Her maiden consent, was all they sought.


Like the Lion in the plains of the savannah, his demeanor was daunting.

An itinerant knight from the tribe of the Lost, his features was surprisingly untainting.

He had travelled a long distance in search of a worthy adventure,

and in the walls of the seven kingdoms, he found a worthy venture.


Like a puzzle, she found him pleasantly intriguing,

an enigma, she surmised, worthy of careful unraveling.

With him, she felt the radiance of the sun without the harshness of its heat.

And then, she knew he was the one she had been waiting to meet.


In her eyes and in the beauty of her love, the wandering Knight of the Lost;

He who had been without a home from conception, knew that he had finally found one in the arms of his beloved without a cost.
