A free-verse poem that tells the story of Shoto.
Mostly shoto-centric, somewhat minimal todobaku/bakutodo
italic text is speech
fantasy au
katsuki is a dragon shifter/barbarian king
~~~
The sky
Is dark,
A maroon, mahogany color.
Today,
We're killing
A dragon.
~~~
Scales as hard as diamonds,
Teeth as sharp as knives.
Claws the size of swords,
Horns as long as tree branches.
You think you can kill a dragon?
~~~
Hundreds of soldiers,
Fighters,
Mercenaries,
Gather under a single
Large
Rock.
Three people,
The organizers,
The galvanizers,
The leaders
Of the rest,
Stand,
High above
Everyone else.
It's almost
Like saying,
We're better than you are,
Stay right where you are.
Where you
Deserve
To be.
~~~
The hunt
Starts
In ten minutes.
Get ready,
Prepare
To lay down
Your life
For your people.
~~~
My throwing knives are sharp,
Clean, silvery.
Not yet covered
In blood.
I pack
An extra medical kit,
Just in case.
I guess it won't matter,
Though,
If I die.
~~~
Lay down your life
For your country.
Sacrifice yourself
For your king.
Be prepared
To die
Today.
You will be missed,
