With the mocking and vile look he wore,
Seth threw the girl on to the rough floor.
The hem of her dress slightly tore.
Hurt, was the girl from the mountain hut.

"Why, we meet again, sire!"
Seth flashed a smile, ever the smooth liar.
The girl looked up just a bit higher.
Liam smiled at the girl from the mountain hut.

"I was travelling. I found her as she fled.
Whoever finds her, a notice read,
Shall receive twenty score silvers, it said."
Said Seth, about the girl from the mountain hut.

"My, oh, my, Lydia, it's been long.
Looks like you've been growing up pretty and strong.
Must have been fun to hide when you're wrong!"
He laughed at the girl from the mountain hut.

On hearing her name, it struck a strange trill.
After all these years, no one had called her that until
Liam did, the one whose cause is to only kill
People like the girl from the mountain hut.

Seth collected his money and walked away.
With each step, he continued to mentally pray.
Their act was dangerous, but it was the only way
For him, and the girl from the mountain hut.

For the last time, their eyes met.
Lydia's eyes were understanding, but wet.
Seth's longing gaze, mingled with his nervous sweat,
Was the last sight seen by the girl from the mountain hut.

With Seth out of sight, Lydia looked up to the great height,
Towering over her. She resisted Liam with all her might.
"Do what you want to me, I'll still fight!"
Called out Lydia, the girl from the mountain hut.
