A great glowing orb sinks behind the horizon Another sphere, silver and shimmering, rises to take her brother's place Farewell Apollo, greetings Diana Cast your light upon this hurt little girl Fill her with your understanding and love Do not let her weep in anguish
She looks up to the silvery orb Diana's light glitters, filling the girl's tears with specks of fairy dust The girl stands up, lifting her arms "Diana," she whispers, "take me home"
Silver light surrounds the girl She stands, letting Diana's gentle fingertips brush away tears of pain and fury Clouds whistle by as she drifts hand in hand with Diana Diana explains to the girl that her pain does not go unnoticed Diana explains that Apollo has felt the girl's pain Diana tells the girl that she is, indeed, understood
The girl turns away The silver light fades "You lie to me, Diana," she says "You promise me happiness and my trust is rewarded with lies!" Diana frowns and draws her bow She fits an arrow into place and takes aim
"No!" cries the girl, but it is too late Diana has seen her blackened heart Diana has seen her scarred, unforgiving soul
"I thought I could change you," Diana weeps "Apollo was right; you have not learned to love "You are lost, little one, lost for all time"
The girl falls to her knees, begging for forgiveness Diana refuses and pulls the bow taunt "Forgive me, dear girl," Diana whispers with a cry "I cannot save you as I thought I could"
The girl bows her head, sobs and cries out "No, Diana! You are the only one I have learned to love! "Do not betray me and loose your arrow, I beg you!"
Diana only smiles, a sad, hurt grin "You cannot love me, girl," Diana says with a sigh "Without first learning to love yourself"
"I can love!" cries the girl "Just give me a chance! That's all I ask for, just one little chance"
Diana shakes her head, her face filled with pain "You had many chances, sixteen years' worth. "You wasted them all on selfish, petty pride. "You never remembered the lesson I taught all those years ago, did you, little one?" Diana shakes her head again and pulls the bow back a little more, almost to the breaking point. "You never learned that you have to care for yourself before you are able to care for others"
Then Diana loosed the arrow And that was when I fell into the world where no one trusts anyone else And Diana weeps for me still
