Breathe
Lost in time at the gates of hell
The knightly omen stands ready to falter
Upon the steps before the flames
The dragons waits with kingly daughters
Blunted sword and his dented armor
Standing firm in the face of devastation
There are no more brave in all lands
Persistent stone before annihilation
Just breathe deeply
For the next words
As the story plays out
As the trapper
Nerves, they tingle
With the danger
Read on, my dear reader
No end to this chapter
Dark days of those broken families
Set on the crooked path of tragedy
As fathers die and mothers, they weep
As rain pours from crying canopies
Heartbroken children face these dark days
With altering substances, they are alive
Just to face an uncaring world
Twisting bodies just live with the hive
Just breathe deeply
For the next words
As the story plays out
When they cower
Modern titans
Are game makers
Face the set challenges
The tale is not over
Space and time stretches across the skies
Beyond the furthest star there is something else
Beyond thought and imagination
Greater than false gods and the pits of hell
Ancient rites spilt on bloody altars
Made a pact with old gods from so long ago
The time has come to pay the piper
As the tentacles twist in the shadows
Just breathe deeply
For the next words
As the story plays out
The plot is rending
Anticipate
What's the ending?
What is your own story
As the tale is ending?

Very enjoyable read. Reminded me of the Elder Scrolls games, but at the same time, alot of it is relatable to real situations.

Life as is, now or before is always the same. Endings are as we make it. Good read, HadesR.

"rain pours from crying canopies" ... Exquisite line ...
"modern titans are game makers" ... I read this as somehow we've lost some of the joy of being true warriors - it's all been put in a box and sold at BestBuy ...
... Enthralling tale.
