Raven peered deep into the endless night,
A rogue with no question, who strikes fear at first sight.
Among the heavens, where the shadows lay,
She drifts through the void, with her thoughts in disarray.
Her vessel, dark as midnight, both sleek and grand,
Engines growling fiercely, never turning toward land.
She belongs to the Black Sun, a legend in its own right,
A crew of outlaws, known for their ruthless fights.
The stars are hers to claim, to burn, and to steal,
A galaxy that shifts, where fortunes are revealed.
Her crew, a ragtag group, both young and worn,
Each one was discarded, lost, and forlorn.
And yet, amid them, Raven dares to dream,
Of something beyond the stars, beyond the gleam.
Of stolen treasures in the void of space,
And a quiet life, beyond the next chase.
Born in the dust, a world of grit and grime,
Where hunger bites and crime's the only climb,
A child of failure, mistakes, and broken trust,
Her heart was hardened, built through anger and rust.
But in that chaos, she found her fire,
A passion that would never soon retire.
To break the chains, to rise from the ground,
To chase a life where wealth and peace are found
A place untouched by either war or strife,
A colony where peace would rule her life.
Orbiting Earth, a gem in the sky,
Utopia, where the rich never die.
A world of comfort, where the weight of life lifts,
Where riches flow and freedom sifts.
Often Raven's thoughts would stray to that place,
Her dreams ignited, her heart quickening its pace.
How she longed for more than blood and woe,
For a place to heal, a peaceful world to know.
Pirate life had worn her to the bone,
And Raven knew the peace she sought was unknown.
Her crew, the Black Sun, cared not for remorse,
Plundering and killing without the slightest recourse.
Their name was marked, both in pain and blood,
Yet Raven's heart, scarred, still yearned for what she could
Be it a better life, to leave the past behind,
To find the solace that tempted her mind.
She understood the dangers that lay ahead,
But in her soul, the restlessness never fled.
It was not credits she craved, nor treasure's gleam,
But the chance to walk aground and live the dream.
Whispers told of Utopia's grand fortune,
A paradise, a place to join and soon,
She'd have to fight, steal, and conquer with might,
To earn her place in that radiant light.
One day, the Black Sun again took to the stars,
Hunting a convoy, stuffed with riches from Mars.
They knew their prey, a ship to behold,
A fortune, vast, and tales untold.
Raven led the raid, her heart alight,
With weapons blazing, into a ruthless fight.
Pistols roaring, enemies fell to the ground,
And Raven smiled, for riches were found.
Minerals, jewels, and maps to treasures unseen,
The loot was theirs, a king's ransom, clean.
But Raven, though wealth was now in her grasp,
Could not forget the dreams that whispered past.
She peered through the ship's rough-tempered glass,
Wondering if her dreams would ever come to pass.
Could Utopia be the end of her quest?
Could she leave this life for something that's blessed?
Her crew celebrated, drunk on their gain,
But Raven stood still, lost in her pain.
The riches they earned, the treasures and gold,
All were hollow, for they could not fill the hole.
For all the power that wealth could bring,
Raven knew it would not soothe the sting.
So to the stars, she whispered her plea,
A heart burning, yearning to be free.
"I'll take it now, this treasure, this chance,
And I'll leave behind the blood-drenched dance.
Though the stars are mine to steal and take,
The life I seek is one I can make.
I'll gather my wealth, and it will be enough,
To leave behind the pirate life's rough stuff."
And so, Raven began to plot her escape,
To trade the Black Sun for a brighter fate.
Her crew, loyal as they were, would not understand,
For pirates' hearts are never calm or planned.
They laughed and drank, their fortune in hand,
But Raven's mind was firm, her purpose grand.
The stars might burn, the riches fall away,
But she would find peace on a brighter day.
With careful steps, she gathered her prize,
Sending it away, toward brighter skies.
She knew the cost of freedom would be steep,
But in Utopia's arms, she'd find peace to keep.
The last raid was her final move,
A step toward what she had longed to prove.
Before the Black Sun took flight once more,
Raven departed toward a nearby shore.
With engines roaring, and stars twirling by,
For the first time, Raven felt peace's far cry.
She left behind the pirate's world of night,
And followed her dream, toward a new light.
She charted a course, her heart set ablaze,
With wealth in hand, no longer lost in a maze.
No longer a shadow, a woman of the dark,
She'd find her place, and in it, leave her mark.
The stars were endless, but now she could see,
A future waiting, and at last, she was free.
