Armies of Silver

(Kingdom of Valor fanfiction)

Five.
Five villains, five heroes.
Five saviors, five martyrs.
Five thieves, five paladins.
Do they realize what the end will be?

A rogue orphan.
A silent warrior.
A rebellious brother.
A wannabe mercenary.
A true assassin.
An arcane prodigy.

One dies,
The others struggle,
Leaving us with five.
The group has been set in stone, unchanged,
Like everything else in their lives.

The five take on their rolls.
They follow the pathways.
They fight the enemies.
All the while, everything around them crumbles to pieces.
After all, Armies of Silver run black with blood.
