Hmm...I do hope that this latest chapter will be pleasing to you. To other readers out there, thank you for your silent support. Please do drop me anote if there are things that you feel I can improve on..
I don't know what you will think after reading this chapter, but I for one, find the last few parts of this chapter a little awkward...
Do you hear his call?
Can you feel the pull?
Hidden within the depths of depths,
Living amongst menacing shadows.
Buried deeply in the past,
Forsaken,
But never forgotten.
He is calling.
It is surfacing.
Do you hear his call?
Can you feel the pull?
With every slash and parry,
Every slice and the sound
Of my sword leaving its sheath,
He draws nearer.
And nearer.
Threatening to take control.
Wanting to fall back into
The life of bloodshed
And living on the line.
Slicing and cutting at men,
As if they were mere trash.
He is taunting me.
Mocking that I am helpless
Against his pull.
It is tempting me.
To just let go and sink
Into blessed oblivion.
A killer lies within me.
Red has seeped into this life.
The lines are blurred.
Day and night has merged
Into a murky grey.
The binds are dissolving.
"A hitokiri is forever a hitokiri."
I will prove him wrong.
Never will I kill again.
For as long as I breathe,
I'd use all of my being
To rein in this inner demon.
All of my life.
He would never come out.
It would never emerge.
I would never take another's life.
Never again.
Till the last day of my life.
