7th fate line

Before you say anything about me
you should know
that under this facet you see
I may have been a queen who fought wars,
fell off her battle horse
from tale over and over told.

And she lost her balance,
her legs don't have the same strength,
her hands, not the same grace.
Who knows, even entities might get tired -
to some it doesn't sound that strange
and has become law
and rememberance.
Yet, if you look her well in the face,
beyond the first glance
you would find the flame's trace,
the markings of its claw.

Now that her old song has been sung
she sits, enthroned, and watches
and exercises patience.
Thinks of what to leave behind
even if not for the trenches,
and when her feet are no longer meant for the usual dances,
her eyes not for everybody's glances.
Yet she remains made for more,
for what should be santioned
since verse one from the lore.
The road to conquest has just begun
and might end in the smile of a king,
the honeyed words of a fellow queen...

Or not.
Who said she really signed
for a clear plot?
