"Will you sing a song about the vanguards?" Why would I?
"Oh. Well, Yester and I sang some to describe what our respective..."
I see. If that is the case, then, let me focus and try
It is going to be a song about honor, tradition, and perspective

"Ok." ...Shall I begin, my liege? "Yes, please." Alright...Though humans may be gone
What remains is a still, yet moving and ticking sense of duty and mystery
We take pride in defending the lands with both brains and brawn
"That is not really rhyming like a song, Titania." ...Then let me redact history

Since a feathered man walked the lands, we have been at your side behind the cover of sands
He brought technology and started to give; what a way to live, and a way I daily relive
Though angels and demons did not shake his hands, humans quickly said their demands
One by one, they were fast to forgive. What the man did to them, was nothing but misgive

Stripping what humanity was left, humans dispensed of uniqueness and, of love, were bereft
Though they could love no more, there were feelings and emotions down to their core
That is how I was seen through the cleft. Born from the ace of someone else's deft
Titania, the ace of robots I was called at the war. The drumming girl you have come to adore

"Wait. You are that Titania!?" Yes. "...How!?" I survived. "I know that! But!" ...Can I continue?
"Yes." ...Ok, so. Although I brought the sounds of death, many still grasp their daily breath
Not one soul was killed thanks to my strong sinew; a mechanical marvel never to discontinue
I beat and I beat, rippling the waters of the river Lethe. Soon after, I was transformed into Seth

"...Seth!? The Seth!? As in: god of..." Yes. "That's some good bullshit!" ...Princess!
"Sorry. Were you saying?" ...A god of...tactics and intel; mischief and many a spell as well
"Those are things Yester..." ...Shut up! "Tita..." Sorry. I...my liege! I... "You have my forgiveness"
No! I must apologize! I lost my temper and... "It's ok to spit anger in a yell"

But! "...Continue singing, please. Then I will fully forgive you." ...As you wish
Battle after battle, I defended and prevailed. Never an impale I ever saw failed
"Like a skillet to a fish!" ...Like a boot to the heads I never forgot to squish
But, given time and many of them left undetailed, I was inevitably jailed

"...You were also the prisoner both my father and mother tried to kill?"
I was too good at my job. Like I said, an ace. Being a robot sure grants you...things
"Can you finish your song before we leave for our afternoon drill?"
Of course, liege. "Call me Sentbel." But... "Yest..." ...Don't. Pull. Those. Strings

...Sentbel. "Thank you! Yes, Titania?" ...When my majesties sentenced me to...
"There is no one I would prefer more as both, a bodyguard, and a play partner"
But that stupid griny jester is so... "I know he gave up half for you too"
That is... "Come. Lay down on my lap and let me teach you the heart I have had since kindergartner"
