I am working on a collection of poems. I will make a poem on Aelin's life in each book. As there are 8 books (including Assassins Blade) I will make poems for all of them and add them all on this page.

## The Assassin

She was feared

Across the whole world

She killed to live

And lived to kill

She was believed

To be old and experienced

But she was only sixteen

Just a girl in her teens

Yet she had a different life

The life of an assassin

But she had a heart

She didn't kill for joy

She met the Pirate Lord

And freed his slaves

She tricked him with

A friend who she didn't like much

For which she

Was punished gravely

And so was her partner

In what they called crime

She was sent to

The red desert

To train with the

Silent Assassins

She met a healer whom

She taught self-defense

And a merchant who

Gave her a piece of spidersilk

She succeed even then

And saved the master

Of Silent Assassins

From death

She gave her friend

Who had betrayed them

An extra minute

To save herself

She returned back

And fell in love

She payed her debt

And moved in her house

But soon again

Her joy was snatched

Away when her

Boyfriend had been killed

She lost it then

And killed everyone she

Thought was behind

His murder

But she got caught

And was sent to jail

Where her life

Changed altogether

She was sentenced

To live in hell

But even there

She survived

## The Champion

After a year in hell

She saw a Royal guard

Who took her to

The son of her enemy

She had been offered

A chance at freedom

To become the King's champion

And leave the salt mines

She carried the scars

Like the finest jewelry

She saw nightmares

Of the dark caves

She took a new fake name

She didn't really show

All her abilities but aced

At each task that was thrown at her

She met a new friend

Who she talked with

But all was not well

Something bad happened

The other contestants

Started dying

In horrible ways

Ways that cannot be described

She asked a boy

To leave the danger

And run back to where

He came from

She found escape routes

Deep under the castle

She met a spirit

A spirit of her ancestor

She found the grave

Of the first king

Strange marks

Covered the entire place

She found the killer

And had to battle

With him for the title

Of the King's champion

She was tricked

But she had friends

When the mark of the

'Nameless' glowed on her brow

Help arrived, no one knew

She won through great difficulty

She was finally free

Or so she thought

After she was crowned

The Champion of her enemy

She received a threat

For her dear ones

## Her True Identity

### The Death That Changed Everything

Going on missions

For the King

But not really

Doing them

Faking her kills

The spirit guided her

Told her she was

Doing the right thing

It was alright

Until she had to

Kill an old friend

A friend from her

Assassin life

She warned him

Time and again

Gave him time

To run away

He gave her more

Names in return

And faked that

He was gone

She continued to

Date the captain

But was afraid that

She would be the reason

For his death

If the King found out

What she was doing

She solved more

Puzzles in the tomb

But nothing really

Made much sense

One sudden day

She found a note

Saying that her love

Was kidnapped

She rushed to the

Place mentioned and

Killed everyone who

Dared come in her way

But then she found out

It was a distraction

To kill her best

Friend in the castle

She ran as fast

As she could

With the winds she ran

But was too late

She saw the body

Lying on the floor

And attacked him

Striked across his cheek

### Sent Away

Thrown in the dungeons

Yet again, on the

Cold bare floor

She slept and ate

The food they gave her

Had mixed something in it

When they thought

She had calmed down

They took her back

To her room, where

She stared at the fireplace

Day and night she would

Think about her dear old friend

She went to take revenge

Through the secret entrance

That was in her room

She tracked down

The person who killed her friend

She served him justice

And went back to the palace

Interrupted a meeting

And threw the head of

The murderer on the table

Scared everyone then

Went back to her room

She went to her grave

With a stone in hand

Knowing she was followed

She gave her last respects

To the library, she went

To calm herself

Came across the prince

It was good to be back

She found out that

The prince had magic

But she didn't knew how

She tried to meet

Her old friend

Using ancient marks

But summoned a demon

She didn't understand how

The prince and captain

Came there, together

They defeated the demon

But he saw her true form

They knew that she was fae

But soon after she found

The real culprit

Who she gutted

In the sewer entrance

The captain saw her

For who she really was

For the first time

She even forgave him

But he suspected something

He made a deal

And sent her off to

A far away land

But she gave

A parting clue

As mysterious as her

It was just a date

But of a great importance

That would change their fates

He found out who she was

The lost princess

Who was assumed to be dead

Had finally returned

And he had just sent her away

To kill her family

## A Long Journey

### Carranam

Sailed off to the west

Drinking, gambling and stealing

Was the way to live

Until he came along

In a lone alley

Tattooed body, white hair,

Pointy ears and a brutal face

I met him as he saved my life

Was shy or so I thought

Didn't talk much

On the long lonely way

Took me to my aunt

Promises were made

Learn powers for answers

How hard could it be I thought

Well the white haired boy

Made it like hell
Forcing me constantly to change

Wasn't easy, I really tried

But I failed

He threatened me

But it didn't work

Who knew all I needed

Was someone to talk

We fought but then he came

Told me his story

Then I told mine

He gave me a shoulder

To lean on to

He took me on a mission

Dead, demi-fae were dead

Like their life was sucked from them

We anticipated an attack

It was confirmed

The demons would attack

We got everyone ready

But it wasn't enough

I almost burnt out

Used so much magic

Until our hands joined together

And I found my carranam

The cadre came and we won

Powers for answers

We travelled to her city

She tortured him

In front of me

For I knew where the third key lay

I exchanged the ring I found

For his freedom

She had to free him

Or I would burn her city

He swore the oath to me

Binding us together

I had to sail back home

To fight for more answers

To tie the loose ends for good

And take back what was mine

From my old master too
