He gave her his hand. 

A promise and a warning. 

Of a new life

(or perhaps a new end) 

She took it,

Her hand delicate,

Like, the feather of a hatchling

Still dyed red. 

Red of a promise. 

"We'll start a new life

In a new city.

We'll travel this world

You and me"

Said he...

"We'll become one

Of the world's teeth.

We'll purge this world

And set people free"

Said she. 

" We'll set the world on flames... "

Said he.

"...And burn right with it"

Said she.
