EPIGRAPH: There once were four sisters
Who were exceptionally ordinary,
But desired more than a maiden should desire.
Ravaged by their shameful wants
Their loving hearts never bloomed
Instead four wicked brambles
Grew in their place
Each tainted
With poisonous magic.

EPIGRAPH: Recall the four sisters
(Extraordinary! Extraordinary!)
Who fought for others to be saved
They were ravaged by a shameful war
Though their loving hearts were brave
And so a vengeful bramble
Grew thick upon their graves
Each thistle then sharpened
By the hands of former slaves
