It called out; whispers flew forth, and one by one they silenced.  \n  \nThat day we now remember well, in peace and war and legend.  \nThat bloody tunic, that shattered soul, and her message beyond comprehension.  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poems","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/769852-we-only-have-each-other.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/907582-safe-spaces.json"}}
