An original song I wrote inspired by Holly from Archangel’s Viper by Nalini Singh. The Guild Hunter series has been my obsession since I was 14 and it’s crazy that I’m still just as obsessed. I’m also really excited because finally I get to make a tribute for this beautiful, beautiful book universe. Kinda like fanart. Or fanfiction. In song form.

The song is like my headcanon for Holly and it sings of a promise and of hope so heavy that writing it has also been an emotional process for me. :’)

Here we are, standing at the crossroads Saying goodbye with tears in our eyes As I let go of your hand

Now it's time for us to go our own separate ways As you choose your path, and I try to forge my own

'cause I won't steal your dreams because of my nightmares I won't let your light dim to comfort my darkness I need to find myself And when I do, I promise you I'll get better and I will find you So wait for me, I will find you

I will rise to be more than an echo of myself And leave my past drenched in sorrow I'd sooner embrace the unknown If it means I'd get a chance at a life Untainted by madness, the thing that sleeps in my blood

I'm on my way, don't worry I'll find my way When the time comes that you see me again I'll have a true smile on my face
