He is known as The Leader of Men.
His combat skills and his undisputed valor are unparalleled.
The cryptic tattoos of his body are the gospel of neighboring regions.
The utter of his name sends shockwaves of fear and trepidation across the land.
Biding idle time by sharpening his spears, swords, daggers.
Gutting, severing, and beheading those opposing his path and will.
The elders say he is the son of Achilles.
Yet at the twilight of every night of battle,
He lies at his bedside.
Alone.
He never talks, he never sleeps.
Just gazes upon the blood spilled upon his hands.
He weeps.

The dawn breaks the gloom
Ending the nocturnal rule.
When it rises over the distant horizon,
The warmth will arrive soon.

The dusk lingers in between the vessels
Acting as a medium betwixt the sun and the moon
You’ll know by the formation of the clouds,
The warmth will arrive soon

The shade covers us all.
Brings out all dangerous creatures .
Even with all these threatening features,
The warmth will arrive soon.

— The End —
