another poem by Len the Lone Lalafell
WRITTEN IN ADULT YEARS
IN LIMSA LOMINSA
FOLLOWING THE RED PATH
Walking alone as I enter my usual tavern in Limsa Lominsa
I was thirsty and a bit hungry after coming this far
I saw for the first time a stranger with red hair
Curiously as I headed towards that Elezen there
I greeted that strange red hair who I did not know
He showed his hand to me as my confusion began to show
Why did this stranger not show fear
Just grinning in a way that made me not wish to go near
Then I swallowed my confusion and began to speak to this Elezen
So strange that I even thought to greet him then
I asked for work he asked me for my talents
I replied to him as my mind begins to balance
I felt like I could not trust him , I figured he was a hustler
Then I just decided to trust him as I would trust her ( her referring to someone in Len's past )
On that day I wanted work but instead found purpose
I became a Spectral Warden as my eyes began to focus
A pearl he gave me that was real cool
He gave me only one as I asked for another like a fool
I may or may not ever trully trust this elezen man
but the red hair called to me with an unclear plan
I will follow this red path of destiny
As I will now find my true divinity ( divinity to him is something different to that which is known by others )
