The Magician's Scent
By: Kurohime
Passing by the hallway to the arena
I encountered a man with an amused look
With red-orange hair and yellow eyes
Who will take his opponents by surprise
On each of his cheeks is a star and a tear
Making him look as someone not to fear
But it's the complete opposite of who he is
Especially with the scent coming from that skin of his
It was an odd mixture of a few
Sweat from the battle which is hardly new
Blood from his opponents and his own
Symbolizing he is still on his throne
But those two are just faint compared
To the other two which caused me to stare
The scent of death lingered around him
Covering his body like a veil so thin
It just made me stop and stare for a while
Into his now serious and piercing eyes
They seemed sane but no, they're not
For the scent of insanity is the strongest of the lot
