Title: Sunlight in the Mists
Fandom: Dungeons and Dragons Curse of Strahd
Rating: G
Length: six four-line stanzas.
Author notes: The moment I saw the prompt, my beloved aasimar Sun Soul monk Aislinn, devotee of the Morninglord, who I played for a Curse of Strahd campaign, jumped into my head and refused to leave!
Summary: Part of Aislinn's story, told as a dialogue between her and the dark powers of Barovia.

Daughter of Lathander,
Whither will you wander?
How far yet will you stray
From the fair light of day?


This land is strange and dark;
To omens I will hark
For guidance to my goal -
And keep light in my soul.

Now are you still so brave,
New-risen from the grave?
Do you still keep your cheer?
Or have you learnt... to fear?


Whatever be the cost,
I won't - again - be lost.
No matter what the price,
I will not die here twice.

Give in to our power,
Let us your soul devour.
Your god won't save you here;
Let go those oaths once-dear.


No! I'll hold to the light,
To the sun burning bright.
Renewed now my belief,
I'll free this land from grief.
