Delilah, you’ve raised all your children well, they’re good and strong
Even though Twig’s fate is twisted, you did nothing wrong
Though it may not feel right to send him away alone
It’s only through hardship that he’ll find his skills to hone
Delilah cursed her guardian but new that she was right
The goddess had long guided her through many a great fight
Of all the deities who blessings she had once received
This one’s advice was the kind that ought to be believed
She looked down at her son, who struggled to comfort his dad
Hugging the great fool with the one good arm he still had
There was nothing she could do to make him safe or strong
Even if she gave him her sword, it would be too long
“Tell me, goddess of the sword, you’re a great deity
Tell me how to fix my poor son’s awful destiny
What’s the point of all you gods if you can’t manage that
‘Let him go...’ do you think I'll be satisfied with that?”
Achievement: Reckless Words
I’ll always have your back, but humans ought to know their place
The system could erase us both right now and leave no trace
Do you not feel the consequences of our words today?
The end of times could be just a single blessing away
Delilah knew as well as any what the goddess meant
But she was in no mood to give up or just repent
“Don’t think I would hesitate to throw this world away
If it meant that I could keep him safe for one more day”

Achievement: Futile Effort
You dare negotiate with an ascended one like me
I’d curse you if I didn’t know that you were just angry
Calm yourself before we both say something out of line
If the system notices, there’ll be more than a fine
Delilah clenched her fists in rage cried out through her tears
Then punched a hole right through a stone wall which had stood for years
She went to Twig and pried him from his father’s burly hands
And tried not to imagine him alone in far off lands
Heroes and adventure were both all to common things
And of the tales she new, all of them had happy endings
Sure, sometimes heroes went out in a blaze of glory
But she started doubting Twig’s would be such a story
“Listen to me boy, even with one hand, your my son
You go fight until you’re much stronger than anyone
And don’t you dare go dying like you almost did today
If you disobey me, then you best go hide and pray”
He nodded and was frightened by the look in his mum’s eyes
He’d never seen that expression, and it was a surprise
She looked as though she might explode but somehow she stayed still
Although it made him second guess whether a look could kill
“I’ll be as safe as possible, but I’ll figure this out
You all keep this village safe, and waste no time on doubt
Once I’ve figured out this curse I’ll come back home to you
Until then I’ll fight just as bravely as you taught me to”
With nothing left to say the family went home that night
But sleep was hard for Twig to find beneath the pale moon’s light
He looked out of his window at the stars that filled the sky
And wondered if the gods who toyed with fate were there up high
