Black River

Cleanse thyself in the black river.
A violent current, poisoned by radiation.
Let it absorb your waste.

Thou hast proven thyself.
Ambition, determination, and rage.
Now, arise from this sludge.

You lacked focus,
you were easily distracted.
But now, that glorious purpose has awoken. 

As the river disappears,
there stood the fearless prince,
casting necromancy across the lifeless soil.

An army built on foundations of determination,
skeletons with unfinished ambition,
and the mighty prince, 
consumed by the rage of shadow and flame.
