Embodiment of Fire

The dark stretches

                as far as my mind can see

I feel the end creeping closer

I clutch my blazened blade

I stance for war…

The distant thunder draws near

My heart beat deafens

                blood pumps through my veins

Bloodlust grips tight

The barking hounds shake the earth as they stampede toward me

My katana kisses the earth

My Glory spreads far…

                … wings lighting against the night

The wind rushes my face

My eyes open.

Hell’s hordes,

                prey to my steel.
