Of Dreams and Kings

The Furies

Treachery though a thing forgotten by men, is never by the stars above.

Fate is a beast that never forgets, and whether by chance or design her trap was set in motion.

The King of dreams returned to his realm saved from war and terror,

The mounted ruler as he traveled on his steed was greeted by countless for defeating a force divined to be unstoppable.

Praise was shown in a boundless display of devotion,

Until a specter of wrath was given as a boon to the savior King.

The Monarch as he approached his palace had been taken off his horse and was left lifeless.

As healers and sages approached the now breathless king, a corpse was discovered,

When examined his fallen body had revealed a shining rock in his now punctured heart.

One made of starlight.
