Trapped within a haze of fear, knights gathered in the thundering spiraled sounds of night with a ready sword in hand, taking a stand against the devil's release from hell. Their faces erupted in rage with a mosaic kaleidoscope of frenzy. Amid the chaotic cacophony, the crowded night drowned out the General's spoken words that evoked strength and courage. Hysteria in their victims erupted as flaming arrows sailed tearing the sky. Followed by the loud sounds of the battle cries, clashing of swords, and the screams of men in pain. Victory brought on an apocalypse of death and destruction. A treaty of perpetual peace, did nothing to heal, caused more harm to the hollow impaired heart. 9/25/2017
