He’d promised to help her

Reunite with her Pan

When she severed their love

In that desolate land

Their adventures together

Had been trying and bleak

But she was unstoppable

When the dead she did seek

So down to the depths

No chance to turn back

Even waiting for death

No courage they lacked

Two young survivors

Their hearts ripped apart

Left their daemons behind

To sail into the dark

But Will made a promise

As Lyra’s soul cried

That they would return

That this wasn’t goodbye

So lost in the fog

Alone in the deep

He was bound by a promise

Only he could keep.

(Apologies for the niche fan-fic, but this theme fitted so well with the Northern Lights trilogy!)
