Title: Darkness Waits
Author: Kameka
Disclaimer: the gauntlet does not belong to me
Summary: I was bored, in a writing mood, but not a plot mood... So here you are. And yes, still alive in the fandom.
----------
darkness waits
cool shadows reaching out
until fingers of fire
burn the mist of time away
blood-soaked metal
falls to the ground
a swirling eye the only
sign of life
the battle rages
around fallen bodies
primal cries filling air
laden with hate
the clang of swords
the rapport of bullets
is the same
through the centuries
human greed
stains souls beyond repair
human compassion
fights a wearing battle
and the gauntlet
waits for the defender
to pick up the battle
once again
darkness waits
cool shadows reaching out
until fingers of fire
burn the mist of time away
