Rejuvenating Voyage

Her tattered self in a city long ago a little girl lost in oceans of turmoil nobody had known her true identity the whimsical world looked at her in pity. She had an agony that none could hear devoid of strength, joy and love her wails diffused in white noise she prayed to her ancestors above. From a desolate sand dune he appeared who believed that she was a miracle he took her along as his own one sprinkled upon her joys, lessons, insights pristine hopes flourishing in anxious swamps he reminded her that she was a warrior "You don't lose until you give up" his blissful whispers adorned her crown. Their lands seemed similar in divine aurora her captain guided in ferocious storms their nascent ship went to universes afar victorious battles of despair with light an unbreakable bond of love and promises. He built a kingdom for his little angel revealing legends of her glorious history, a princess of submerged kingdom he knew his tranquil valour remained a mystery. Alas! She unraveled his secret glitters a fugitive from the land of her enemies. How could she trust a masked warrior detained beyond borders he must flee torn pages of faith in sandstorms her sword dripped crimson blood serenades of magic however vanished departed messenger in mists of void. She began a voyage of unwavering courage his symbol in another parallel universe proclaimed insane in a whirlwind beliefs of a warrior in mystic dreams her lost lands, known battlefields revived traces in bridged reminiscence effervescent saplings of his presence to find herself she fused her essence bereft yet brave, her legacy applauded an unnamed warrior remembered for years at a blissful topanga of azure twilight his blessings gleamed her silver sword he'd waited for her to win herself the warrior who'd never give up hadn't left.

"You don't lose until you give up", spoken like a true warrior. I can see some traces of your military training, Aditi, but this is more than simply pugilism, this is the attitude of the warrior that impacts all areas of life: discipline, courage, camaraderie, and the willingness to stand up for what is right. Excellent words, and a worthy win, my dear friend ~ John
