Summary: A little poem I wrote about Nadia from the Fist Of Mars. There's two ways she could have gone, but she picked...





	A Pendant On Your Grave

"A Pendant On Your Grave"  
I was irritated by the fates Nadia suffers in "The Fist of Mars," so I  
decided to write a poem as an homage to the fact that I can never quite get  
that special ending...  
Snarl. Oh well.  
Tell me what you think.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  
Dearest Nadia, a pendant on your grave  
I left it there that summer's day  
Nadia Candido now here lies  
It's been months, and how time flies!  
Doubting intentions was Nadia's game  
She went with suspicion and wasn't ashamed  
-  
'Live life to the fullest' is what they said  
But you can't live free after you're dead  
Her frame was destroyed, the safety removed  
Bolozof and his mistress reduced to mere tools  
How many men would take her fair life?  
A short one of hopelessness, pain, and unending strife  
-  
Through Acemos, and BAHRAM, after the UNSF  
Their calls to come clean fell on ears deaf  
'Fight for what you keep' was her only defense  
Backed with a harsh stare from eyes so intense  
Gone through flames once, but never again  
You had one thing in mind: the cost of your sin  
-  
You never knew what would be best  
You had the chance to hold life by the hand  
But Nadia first rests in death  
Or the cruel arms of a loveless madman
