Stardust

Eve of rebellion

I am powerless

One in a million they say

To be born without

A speck of magic flowing in me

-

I... I was powerless

Before the war

I still can't remember

Her last words

-

I was alone

I had no where to go

So I joined the fight

Someone who could hold a sword

-

They came after us

We moved,

 Place to place

Never stopping long.

-

There was a women

In my squad

I think she called her self

Aisha.

-

One day, we were speaking

The building shook

Someone shouted

It came crumbling down.

-

Trapped underneath stone blocks

I knew I would die.

Aisha, she looked me in the eye

The two of us, trapped in rubble

-

I remember her saying something

That I have now forgotten

But she touched my hand

It felt like fire

-

When I woke, all was dark. 

I pulled myself out under the block

I knew I should be broken

Maimed, injured

-

But somehow that day

I lived

I was one of the few
