Warrior King's Plight

This piece was done with help from a friend, Homer(@chrysomer on Instagram), please do check him out. We took turns, alternating with each line. He began, then on and on it went. I’ll be starting his lines with “[H]” and mine with “[P]”, so keep track if you can?? I’m a fan of Brent Weeks’. Some content is tied to ideas used in his Shadow Books: ‘Beyond the Shadows’, ‘Shadow’s Edge’, and ‘The Way of Shadows'(must reads, for all epic fantasy, fiction lovers out there). Enjoy! WARRIOR KING’S PLIGHT [H] Despondent delinquent, I gaze into an abyss [P] My raging ruler’s spirit, impugning as is [H] Fiery and blazing, like a dragon’s breath it seethes [P] Would that winter dawns upon my gazing [H] But winter frolics and brings with it seasons whitening [P] And neither snow nor white ash could taint this pitch [H] The gods had already pissed and ruined its green [P] Now myrtle and mistletoe, birds never may preen [H] Not hens, not eagles nor owls may perch [P] Still I gazed into this abyss, this pitch, watching it stretch [H] The length of the waste was in miles at best [P] The breadth of it, the monsters! a roaming nest [H] Vicious and hungry, they roamed for prey, eyes wandering, they suddenly settled on me [P] But I expected this, longed for the chaos; Come! [H] They lunged forward, baring their frightening teeth, some still drooping the flesh of fresh meat [P] I draw my savage broadsword, cloaked in rage and revenge [H] Glittering with the black diamonds entrusted to me in Hades [P] My stance paints an undying picture, and Cerulean steel meets pitch [H] My blade whistles a singsong of vengeance, eager to spill blood in this battlefield [P] I am one man [H] My sword is legion [P] My will drives my blade, my will overwhelms my reality; when does it end? [H] It just did, he snapped out of his 3D and sighed heavily [P] Lol… That was a good one There was no theme or working structure to this. We just randomly started this in a group on WhatsApp. Please, don't forget to comment. :)
