My arrival will freeze you with fright
I am a daughter of the night
Your fortune cannot balance my scales
The sight of my sword will make you wail
I do not offer praise like the rest
Only revenge, with a kiss of death

Thank you Dverse for the prompt!
I love the menace… and the slant rhymes!

Menacing…..no sympathy or empathy from this “daughter of the night.” A foreboding here.
