Author note: Phoenix Tears WAS an 8 chapter story (or at least that's how much I had on it) but then I had a whole bunch of new ideas and things that needed to be fixed, so I am going to repost all of the chapters (including some new ones). I hope you like the changes.

The Prophecy of the Four Blessed Kingdoms

Precious daughter of the Solie Nar

You will travel wide and far

Beyond our borders tall and strong

Your journey will be hard and long

But do not let yourself give in

Or our only hope will die within

Fatherless prince who'll rule across the sea

Keep her safe, the child with truth hidden deep

She who was born on the shortest and coldest day

She who was once a slave and will soon reign

But if you fail, our nation will forever be

Not kingdoms four, but kingdoms three
