Read an Excerpt:

STORMS WITHIN

He ran

disappearing into the night

leaving us all alone

we tried to follow him

but were unsure of the trees and trails

we went slowly

we knew something had happened

when we found his blades in the forest

blackened and alone

he had come

like a force of nature

wrecking our lives

in the name of freedom

freedom from what?

the hollow embers and ashes we found

I didn't build them

those ruins were his story

not mine

never mine

I...was happy

yeah, I was happy

is there something wrong with that?

my parents loved me

I didn't care about anything else

the dragons were bastards

but I understood the game

the moves that could be made

with one flick of a blade

he changed all that

shattered the illusion with a roar of rebellion

now my life is here

in this forest

now he had vanished into the night

leaving me abandoned

leaving everything in shambles!

Excerpt:

I examine the sword

curved and round like the moon

it is entrenched in my ruined hearth

no power can help me lift it from the earth

it stands there

defiant

overpowering

 

the message is clear

a red haze beckons

I understand and nearly roar

I know you, I mutter to myself

I understand what you’re saying

 

you're bigger than me

stronger

you know where I live

and you can do this to me

 

I don't fear you

you think you are out there hunting me

but it's I who am hunting you

 

I look at my friends

and suddenly feel lost

what do I do with them?

this isn’t just my story anymore

 

there is so much they have not seen

or done

will they be safe without me?

 

will I really feel better seeking revenge?

I don’t know

I am angry and scared

savage and violent

without a clue what to do next

 

I look at my blackened blades

forever stained with the blood of dragons

they gleam

it had been a while since they feasted

tonight

they would do so again

so I run
