Sonnet: Oberyn at his death

Summary:

A sonnet I wrote from Oberyn's POV, to his loved ones.

Notes:

I am currently archiving to AO3 a bunch of works I made back during one of my fannish periods that occurred from 2008-2011. I apologize for the spam.

This was for a Westerosorting Tourney of the Hand challenge to write a sonnet (not quite sure what the prompt was).

Originally published: The date on the file says 28 January 2014... Seems a bit late for me to be active but not impossible.

Work Text:

I ask you dearest brother, be not wroth.
I rue not my own death, though I regret
To leave you to outlive your siblings both
And task you with our vengeance longer yet.
My daughters, though you grieve now, have a choice:
To share your uncle's burden of revenge
Or turn again to things that bring you joy.
Your lives, as ever, are your own -- so then
'Tis not for me to say which one is right.
And finally, Ellaria, the years
Spent in your company were a delight,
A wise decision if my life ends here.
My sister Elia, so long deceased,
I join you in your torment -- or your peace.
