Ignis Veritas et Ultio

"Ignis!"
She screamed
Woke shivering and blinking in the dark
Another violent dream
Another pounding heart

The night was freezing and colder
Frost glittering on the grass
She shivered and sweated lightly
Caught up in the past

"Veritas"
She whispered
Calming but still on edge
Biting words still haunting
She silently thought about what they meant

The door stood open
Her fear beating into the night
She was so alone
Dreams holding her too tight

"Et ultio!"
She smiled
Plans already taking form
Arms clasped around herself
In the darkened room

She lay back still smiling
Eyes easing shut
Dreams swirling around her
Sunrise creeping up
