Wars Without Words
witchcraftless Wishing Well wishes wanderers well
Wise Wishing Well wearily watches
wanting wanderers waste wishes
while walking westward,
without weighing whether
wily, Wicked Water within
wants wherewithal wealth
while warping wishes wildcard-ly.
Wellaway! Wishing Well weeps weakly.
Walkaway! Wicked Water wins whilst,
without warding witchcraft, Well watches
writhing Water wantonly welcome
wishful wanderers walking
without wavering.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
