Ryo's Journey
2. Crown
He didn't like the title
of a King
Though it was a strangely
fitting one;
that, he could not deny.
Perhaps
it was destiny's cruel way
of showing him his chain
and collar
upon the board.
The King: the game-changer
and yet the weakest
of them all.
That was what he was,
a child fated
to be yanked
forever off his throne
And wherever that other led.
He would much rather
be called a friend
instead; but all that was gone.
For now, he was alone
with only an Egg
by his side.
