The Lone hawk

His mind was a tangled web of despair, each thought a dark thread pulling him deeper into the abyss. The weight of his troubles bore down on him, a stranger to peace, yet all too familiar with the chaos that now consumed him. From afar, he was a solitary figure, his steps slow and deliberate as he trod over the brittle remnants of the forest's autumn, dried leaves crunching beneath his boots. The night was his only companion, the moon a silent observer, hanging above like a pendulum caught in the stillness of time.

His name, once spoken with pride, had faded into the shadows of his past, swallowed by the world he had forged from his own hands. Perhaps he was mad, he thought, lost in the endless grind, for the seeds he had sown had scarcely touched the light. The realization gnawed at him-he was alone.

He raised his hands, their skin etched with ancient runes glowing with a soft, otherworldly pink hue. The magic that coursed through his veins was unlike any other, a testament to his uniqueness, yet it offered no solace. He walked a path that only he could tread, one marked by loss and sacrifice. In his quest, he had lost so much, but most of all, he had lost himself.
