*Warmth in Mist Land*

In a strange land,
An unexpected encounter
With ones unknown
But with the same ancestry.

In a foreign place,
Where everyone is a stranger,
Unexpected brotherhood
Brings both ease and vigor.

I stepped in far from home.
I'm to build a sense of
Familiarity on a soil that brings
No warmth to my feet.

After running so long,
After meeting so many
Strangers with cold hands,
Holding little hope left
For this mist land, not home.

Along the way,
An unexpected shake
Brought along warmth,
And tranquility replaces
The blood boiling searching for
Familiarity in this mist land.

Finally, a sense of home.
The not-so-stranger
Then ran on,
And I ran along.

On the path we ran,
The surrounding slowly warmed up.
And then here in this mist land,
I step into a place with only warmth.

A place that made
My berserk blood calm.
Familiarity surged from total unfamiliarity.

Finally, her face shone
In dazzling brilliance
As she declared,
"Welcome to NAES."

The not-so-stranger
Said, "here lost
Are united.
Forgotten tongue
Are remembered."
In here in this mist land,
"Evabe Vukata"
Echoes — Unity is Power.
