Light dawns beyond the trees
On Maidingi the mists arise
Golden sparks on dewy leaves
Like the glow in Jago’s eyes
“Is it safe, can you say?”
Asking the assassin’s foresight
Jago, precocious like every day
And I know that she is right
Resting over, it’s time to go
Shaky, anxious, but I rise
Babs starting out with ‘Hada in tow
Moving to where the heartland lies
Following where Ilisidi leads
Anything else would be uncouth
Knowing now what the aiji needs
Hoping he’ll believe the truth
