To Reach The Top

Prolouge

Part I

Cold

A monotonus line of white.

He opened his eyes. Tried to focus. Saw nothing.

Nothing but the line, the line that went forever, cold and white, cold and white.

So he took the first step. No problem.

But the cold.

The biting cold!

Took another step.

And another.

Cold!

Slipped on the ice.

Tripped on his own feet.

Stuck out a hand and fell.

Hard.

Eyes wide, pupils small, blood trickling, blood flowing.

The monotonus line.

Cold and white, cold and white.

The things he would do.

Grabbed a rock with his other hand.

Pulled himself up with the bloody one.

Pain!

Blinding pain!

Stood on his feet again.

Slipped.

Fell again.

His elbow.

Bloody crimson.

The things he would do.

The monotonus line.

Cold and white, cold and white.

Part II

Step

Up on his feet again.

Climbing.

Weight pulling him down.

Weight he couldn't see.

He couldn't grasp.

He couldn't hear.

But he could feel.

Eyes wide.

Pupils small.

Climbing up.

The things he would do.

'Things end'

They say.

He'll end

They say.

He'll say

'I don't care'

Eyes shut in pain.

Not for his own good

They say.

Will he do it?

Will he do it?

The things he will do.

But he cant.

Struggling to the top.

Cant reach.

Cant quite.

Pulling him down.

Blinding him.

Last step.

He takes it.

Part III

They Say

On the top.

Looking down.

Smiling down.

Finally there.

Surge of pain.

He falls.

And the shadow comes.

Like they say

Like they say

And he had his sword

Like they say

And he gave up

Or so they say

Let his sword fall

So they say

Kneeled willingly

So they say

Let the blow his him on the back

Eyes wide

Pupils small

Flipped over

Writhed in pain

So they say

And closed his eyes

So they say

Never opened again

They say

Part IV

Red

Climbing

Falling

Crimson patterned

In the cold

Like they say

Taking steps

Moving on

The things he'll do

To reach the top

Like they said

He didn't listen

So he saved the world

Condemned the people

So they say

Empty stares

The shadow brings

So they say

Monotonus line

Where he fell

Monotonus line

Cold and red, cold and red
