Forbidden Lands
She walked through the forbidden lands
Amidst the dark she walked
Creatures of the night howled and hooted
Jinxed winds blew dead leaves all over
Ghouls and ghosts chased her from all directions
The Grim Reaper smiled,watching his prey go forth
And the black clouds showered rains of death
Yet she walked through the forbidden lands
Amidst the dark she walked.
♦
He was waiting for her
Waiting to devour her soul
Crept on his evil face an evil smile
As he watched her make her steps closer and closer towards him
His claws were sharpened and his weapons were gleaming red
He starved for her soul
Her soul belonged to him now
Oh! He was fearful and so sinister
But yet she walked through the forbidden lands
Amidst the dark she walked
♦
'Glory is mine!' he thundered upon her
But she was not the one to give in
'Then fight for this glory of yours!'
She roared back with equal ferocity
Their battle began
Swords swung through the air
With equal rage and fury
No crystal ball could say who would win
No tarot could predict the future
The battle was frightening and fierce
Would evil flourish forever or goodness would win over?
It was the question yet to be answered
♦
Suddenly she was encircled by a smoke of self doubt
Will I be a failure?
The hopes, the desires, the trust, the dreams- will I shatter them all?
Would I be remembered for my glory or my cowardice?
Questions innumerable arose in her mind
'NO!' she heard to the call of her conscience
'You are boundless, you are a warrior
Evil is proscribed to flourish
In the land of your mighty birth
You are to put an end to his reign
You are to bring to this land hope and light!'
♦
Her soul awakened
Her strength was ignited
Three swings she made
And three was all it took to cease his existence
He lay helpless and weak
And then, red ashes were what was left of him on the grounds
As she triumphed over his rotting ashes
Like a beast over its hard earned prey
Glory was hers once again
♦
A dreadful night turned into a day full of hope
A gentle breeze blew about
Ghouls and ghosts fleed in all directions
The Grim Reaper wore a cloak of heavy depression
The black clouds vanished altogether
And out came the sun with all its warmth and brightness
The forbidden lands were blessed
And she was the one to bless
Her legends will be told to generations for eternity
For she was the one who had walked through the forbidden lands
For she was the one who had walked amidst the dark
~ Fia, the imaginary warrior
