Tears of the Forgotten by AlectorFencer

Once, triumphant.
A sunrises’ soft caress lauded to its Brightest Son.
Champion. Ever Vigilant. Ever for Honor’s sake.

On legs of broken branches and thatched thorned stems
He Strides, No longer. Brought low, fallen from on High
Once golden light - a warmth of ages. The Noble light of
Justice, torn from his grasp.

Honor dashed Upon
The rocks, welcoming arms no longer. Gone from the Light of Day.
Only Ragged Cries in the midday night of Shadow.
Frozen and forlorn bitterment - vainglorious once
Only Burning embers of Hatred remain, ever potent.
Cast down. Forgotten. Fallen.

Now the King of Rats upon a Throne of Thorns.
An Eternal vigil of Torment. With only the patient council of Vengeance.
