Shadow of War
stranded Soldier, tossed ashore forced to fight a gallic war .Bound by Honor, a task at hand. a sword and shield upon his back. a twisted Fate he is to find. Bound by oath and his Foolish Pride a hero to many, an enemy to even more. Destiny will decide his fate. His Wish only to return to his wife who Waits. drawn to battle he heated the call.this was the day that he shall fall, pitched dagger shield and all. he gave it his all, but alas that was it .struck down by the will he dared to oppose he did not cry nor weep, as his words begin to slur he remembered only the sun set. slipping into the gentle caress of the Abyss that truly awaits. that which he fought for, shall never more be more than ruins upon the shore .sharpend dagger and shield at hand. he set out for his final Journey to a Faraway land.there worries and weep are but foreign Concepts to the Common Man. pasted the gates he did go.To meet the distance figure dressed in Earl Grey and linen cloth imposing ,but full of boundless love. he accepted another son into his Heavenly inbrace. do not worry for the brave Soldier he is at piece . a piece in time we all shall find. pawn and King set aside .we're all equal in his eyes . gilded Talon ,dragon's claw. we are all equal, we all shall fall.
