My heart in learning of arts
To be a costumer of lives
An artisan graceful
Needles and threads my swords and shields
My armors made of the finest silks

I had a talent to craft 
An eye to match
With a young ambition:
Make dresses of princess' worth
Sew suits fit for a prince

But still my skills were lacking
The final touch to fulfill my art…

In evening's dim it flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I started
The journey to the unknown

"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"

Followed the path for my fate
For what lies beyond the far horizon
My spell led me across the land
Through forests, rivers and hills

Came night, faded daylight
But magic sign still showing forward
Neither hunger nor thirst held me
Not all the dirt in the world

With sunset I kept on moving
With sunrise already on the road…

In evening's dim it had flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I had started
The journey to the unknown

"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"

At the mountain range my spell finally fades 
I'm at the quest's end, what was to find:

This the fate I searched? 
Rock atop the hill?
Spell had led me onto the brink of worthless stone?

Sudden, a flash of colored light tore the core of stone apart.
The bowels of earth offered her their hearts, precious gems…
