"Neither flesh nor bone, but bark and vine, I guard the crown and bloodline. Speak your truth or meet the thorn; I’ve seen a thousand kingdoms born."

"Rooted deep in ancient earth, I know your secrets and your worth. A spirit’s grace, a sentinel’s bite—I keep the watch throughout the night."

"Skin of mahogany, breath of pine, I draw the border, I walk the line. A living forest in a woman’s shape; from my judgment, none escape."
