Where destiny lies
Off to the horizon light and darkness ties

Only angels and flames may defy the skies
Burn my dreams for that new sunrise
Where destiny lies

Hurt and Comfort
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 13, 2024
There's few moments more dramatic than when the hero gets hurt. The more serious the injury (or illness or poisoning or other type of affliction) the higher the drama.

Poetry Time 68: Primordial Shell
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, April 7, 2024
Primordial coil rituals my blood
To be sanctified in un-zang nerve-ending to depart
Where you were, I return. Where you burned, I rekindle.
Primordial foil pictures my gods.
To be sacrificed in un-rang soul-mending to unchart
Primordial soil freeze me free
