tomorrows book

The world looked peaceful and bright as my eyes could see it, Bathed in her flowing golden hair which mesmerized me every minute. And the lands that I tilled and tended flourished passively, Roamed by flocks of animals I nurtured carefully. Yet the life I cared for vanished in a moment’s rest, My will was shattered by that invader’s daunting crest. I fled far back, where I could not see that haunting scene, But their laughter echoed endlessly in my dreams. So I took up my arms and swore to serve my lordship; Blood and death were borne out of my hardship. And when that day came where I banished the invader It was the day I became the reaper of all rulers. - Yuri Vael, The Kingslayer
