The Epos Renzo

A story wrote for a class assignment originally using greek gods in epic poem format. Comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Have a marvelous day!

"Hark my dearest friends, the tale of a man modest and lowly."

"Lorenzo, whom creatures and spirits from realms unknown looked upon and wept, as they awaited his death with which he would be brought peace at last. He walked the cold and fruitless streets out of compassion, his grace unmatched by any of his traveling companions. He found himself in the presence of death more than once, and would yet again, for he traveled great distances to secure the life of a single stranger. His only enemy beyond man itself lie in the anger of Khione, and a great snow storm she would cast upon Philadelphia's skies to ensnare the weary, defenseless traveler. His heart would be his downfall, for he will have adopted the one being he was unprepared to care for; a child. The child that would, unbeknownst to him, become his successor."
