The Ballad of The Virtuous Demon

By Jofre Elman

There once was a virtuous demon

Who came along one day

Some say that she was a dreamin’

That she would be okay

The demon encountered misfortune

Upon reaching the town

The guards they tried a hurtin’

The demon huntin her down

The demon then made a friend

And she was given bread

They came to care for each other

But the friend was filled with dread

The friend then betrayed the demon

The demon wound up in jail

It was there she encountered the reaper

It was there that she did wail

The friend got herself in trouble

The orcs tried to take her head

If she didn’t find a way out

She would have wound up dead.

It was then that the demon showed kindness

Despite having been betrayed

Though our eyes were filled with blindeness

The demon still came to aid

The demon’s heart had saved six people

Preventing endless dismay

She fought and fought and finally won

On that one deep dark day

Oh virtuous demon we thank you

May you continue to save

Though helping you may be a taboo

We pray that you will be safe
