Surrounded
by titan walls
grey and
unyielding
And vile beasts
and murky waters
and a desert
unforgiving
There lies a city
which its people once called
a haven
But now
the brightest star is
amiss
and the shadows
offer no light
nor shelter
Instead
there is hard armor
shining
in the crimson colors
of blood
and death
Almost like an evil grin
and a dark promise
of bloodshed
Civilians
retreat back to their homes
thankful
for getting to see
another day
But little do they know
of what is yet to
come
their way
In the relentless fight
against a tyrant
tears
will be shed
and casualties
will be many
But
eventually
a free spirit will
regain power
and the darkness
will perish
