Some drabble I wrote for episode 13.


King

The lone island stained with white and red

The lion prowled, red flames painting dread

The other dressed in Prussian blue

From his scabbard a sword he drew

Snow fell in a heavy slow dance

Coating sorrow as he raised his lance

Pain struck the boy named the Black Crow

Anger overtook as the memories continued to flow

"You looked up to him as your King once, didn't you!?"

The boy of blue could only stare - he knew it wasn't true

Faded memories of their gilded past

It all went by just too fast

The black bowed to the silvery white

His smile showed that his resolve was alight

The time had come, the barrier was breached

White to red and blue had reached

The final blow unleashed death

Both kings smiled, their final breaths

The lone king returned to his clan

Anger, sorrow and blood on his hand

The clan of silver searched in vain

For the man who once held the world in disdain

The youngest cried, both of white and red

Yet their cries remained unheard

A silent promise was spoken in that dying sun

The time for reunion, in time will come

A distant tribute for the king who had fallen

Although filled with pride, was sorrowful and solemn

Bright burning red filled the skies

The traitor watched, guilt in his dark eyes

The last smiled, his words ringing

"You hear that? You were the best King."
