Betrayal

Over the years in the Brotherhood
Quit common is this dark act
Missions foiled by many a mood
Always an assurance of fact.

Started off to make the pirates pay
For their crimes and destruction
Whose job was it to say
Let us not fall prey to separation

First the young ones would stray
A trickle of blood was taken by each
Tenuous bonds between them did fray
Soon the alliance was in full breach

Defeat would come to the Palatinae or Sadows
Each had their own cares
As if no one would rise from the shadows
To take what is rightfully theirs.
