No! I ran, I ran and got away!

They let you let you let you! They let you get away!

No! I was foraging, but I got away!

It's still here! It captured your spirit!

No! I was there in innocence! It was the aggressor!

They know you! You let them follow you!

Yes! It will die by my hands! But first it will suffer!

THE ETERNAL HUNT

 

When the sun goes down

I run into town

 

Stalking my prey

I hope they've lost their way

 

Isolation is key

I smile with glee

 

When the time is right

I move into light

 

Disembowel them with might

I howl into the night

 

For I shall remain eternal

My necromancer Mandreth in the DnD game I play is writing verses about the world he intends on creating. I think I'll share some here.

 

CHILD OF RAGE

 

Rise, Oh Rise my child of rage

The night is long this year

The sun grows dim like dying coals

To summon mortal fears

 

Though men may stand with torch in hand

The darkness will consume

Each step and swing of mortal steel

Plants bloody seeds in bloom

 

Your vengeance sweet will sate your thirst

But not tonight my son

You’ve only just begun your task

There’s still much to be done

 

The living in their endless greed

Have wasted all they had

The pure of heart are all but lost

The wisest, driven mad

 

My child of rage, your time has come

To bring the damned to terms

Condemn these fools who pray for naught

‘Til all their world has burned

 

Destroy their shrines on hallowed ground

Lay waste to all their gods

The doors of death are left unbound

The age of men is lost

 

Your brethren wait with baited breath

To see your wrath unveiled

You, firstborn son of war and death

Will walk the avenger’s trail

 

My revenant son, so pure you are

To thrive by naught but rage

Go forth with blessings in your hand

To end this mortal age

Got another one for the armies of the dead. I borrowed a verse from the WWII poem [iSPOILER]In Flander's Fields[/iSPOILER] by Canadian [iSPOILER]John McCrae[/iSPOILER]

 

The Drums

 

Do you hear the beating drums

Pounding steady, strong, and loud

Like a heartbeat for the dead

As the armies march unbowed

 

Legions thirst for war and battle

Carnage, greatest of desires

Harvest men like fattened cattle

Reared to feed thirsting vampires

 

On they hammer, on they pound

Hear the war drums’ endless sound

 

On cadaverous fields like hungry crows

Ghouls will flock in droves

If the body is a temple

Desecrate that sacred grove

 

They will learn we cannot die

What is dead cannot be killed

With horror and revulsion,

We will break their mortal will

 

On they hammer, on they pound

Hear the war drums’ endless sound

 

Once mortal soldiers, weak and frail

Wrought by fears and doomed to fail

Now we fight ten thousand strong

Welcomed into the legion’s throng

 

We are the dead, short days ago we lived

Felt dawn, saw sunset’s glow

But now we march across the fields

To go to war with living foe

 

Hear the drums, hear them sound

On they hammer, on they pound

The Marching Tide

 

We do not rest

Not while our task is unfinished

We do not sleep

Not while there is work to be done

We know no fear

Not while our hearts lie unbeating

We do not speak

Not while our actions speak louder

We know no mercy

Not when the weak will rule

We bear no names

None but the Marching Tide

Unsated

 

The hunger gnaws unending

When blood and flesh are left to spoil

Into corpses, ghouls are rending,

Feasting like a flame to oil

 

Charming beauty hides a malice

Craving blood of human life

Vampire’s claw cuts deep and raw

And fang bears draining bite

 

Revenant rage burns without end

To punish crimes unrighted

But merciless to innocence

When anger is ignited

 

The liche cares not for what is found

In wealth or mounds of gold

Its only lust are tomes of dust

And secrets left untold

 

A touch of death and lifeless grin

A vessel born in endless strife

The wight is cruel, dark, and grim

Compelled to snuff out human life

 

Screaming hymns of loss and woe

The Banshee wails her song

A dirge to trap her victim’s mind

Their tortured pains prolonged

 

Ghostly shadow of a soul

None can keep the wraith contained

Born from torment, anguish, toil

All will share this spectre’s pain

"A Paean"

 

To traverse stagnant waters

Into the seas of red

No oars are manned, no sails are raised.

 

With sword and axe

And claw and fang

The vessels make the way.

 

To tear the veil of life

With scythe that cut the reaper

Fear is bound to mortality the Dead see it as an abnormality

The Well Bred fear a revolt by the serfs, Forever cursed to think the worst is coming.

Don't worry little lord the horde are not coming for your seat.

They are far too busy tending the land to lay a hand on your precious throne.

The serfs grow fearful of a Drought, so have no doubt little lord they have more to worry about then your position.

But, worry not for your condition is not unfounded.

For they all should fear what is to come.

For the Dead toll for all.

A/N: The start of the family upheaval that is the background to my Liche and Revenant backstory. Raesha and Dritor, one is kind, mostly, and one is an asshole, completely.

 

The girl was born in a happy family.

 

The boy was born in a happy family.

 

The girl grew up with a good friend.

 

The boy grew up with a good friend.

 

The friend lost his family.

 

The friend took his family.

 

The girl was a good friend.

 

The boy was a bad friend.

 

The girl loved him.

 

The boy hated her.

 

The girl cared for their pets.

 

The boy cared not for them.

 

The girl watched them grow.

 

The boy watched them wither.

 

Yet no matter how careful she was…

 

They never seemed to last…

Beast Within

 

Such a sinner is my inner beast he achieves to deceive with not much to believe in.

It has been years and it moves him to tears drowned under his fears.

But, even so there is one who keeps him sane through the endless rain.

She makes him feel like a winner even in the dead of winter.

She was truly the best gift he could have ever received before, he was drifting into an abyss and he thought he would not be missed.

How a bit of curiosity saved him from the brink of despair where he thought no escape was imaginable.

The existence that once felt unbearable became one that he wanted to share with her.

So this is dedicated to the dove who taught me how to love again.

A/N: They are growing up...

 

They approached their adult life

 

Knowledge of pain and strife

 

Deep ingrained in their mind

 

She would be kind

 

He would repay in kind

 

As was custom

 

They would dance

 

As was custom

 

They would mask

 

She to show her true colours

 

He to hide his true feelings

 

To show the world who they were

 

To hide from the world what they thought

 

Laid to the world bare

 

Laid to the world superficial

 

Both hid in darkness

 

What they wanted the other not to know

Life unchained

Mortality domained

Our souls remained

 

The body is fleeting

When the blade and carcass come meeting

Avoided the reaping

 

The void we don't greet

Even when cut down like wheat

We transcend our heartbeat.

 

Life and death deflowered

The undead empowered

And the hopeless enamored

What started Dritor's lust for power, and Raesha's lust for battle, an encounter with ... s̸̡̲̩̬͈̦̆̓̌̅̐̚ỏ̶̢̨͙̬̙̠͈̳̰̼͍̦̟͍̇̇̍̀̉̌͐̚ͅm̴̛͎͈̰̮͍̪̙̳̳̣̼̗̅̏̀͌̍͋̃͗ͅḛ̶̡̛̛̼̠̣͓̰͎̳̭̓́̂̾̀͠ṯ̶̆͆̒̎̎̽̾̈́̈́͐͝h̷̛̤̜̫̙͎̼̦̖͇̝̦̆̅̈́͆̈́̚͘͜ͅį̸̛̲̟̜̭͖̯̣̩͕̰̖̎̈̂̎͋̉͂̑̔̇̚̚n̵̺̼͚͙͕̱͑̈́̇̓̐̊͊̇̇̍̉̍͛̚̕͠ğ̵̨̧̨̨̡̱͉͚͕̟̮̭͖͚̓̈̋̈́̈́̌̐͌͊̏

 

 

Glowing eyes

 

All that haunt them

 

Are glowing pinpricks

 

From when they disturbed

 

The tomb locked in ice

 

Searching for a gem

 

Lost to the lyrics

 

Of the town elders overheard

 

In youthful arrogance

 

They did not stand a chance

 

All they could do was run

 

Nevermore would they

 

Return to the tomb

 

Where they nearly

 

Found their end

 

Nevermore…

 

Until their truest end

Their adult lives... and its ending.

 

 

 

 

She was taught how to heal

 

He was taught how to fight

 

She taught him the secrets

 

He taught her the ways

 

To rule the battlefield was her passion

 

To know the universe was his goal

 

We will share in this, they promised

 

Yet one broke it all

 

 

 

 

 

She learned the battlefield

 

He learned the universe

 

She knew what her emotions were

 

He knew what his emotions should be

 

She learned them in the blood soaked fields

 

He learned of them in the deepest labs

 

To rise above them was their goal

 

But to do that they’d need to know

 

How each and every emotion felt

 

And so he taught her the deepest betrayal

 

And so he taught himself the highest pride

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She trusts no one now, no more

 

He never did such foolishness

Smell of Crimson Death

 

 

The door is shut.

Sprayed wet in the dark.

Someone's screaming.

Please make it stop,

Then

Silence.

 

Dripping hot, sticky wet.

Empty silence,

Inside and out of my head.

The sound of ripping

Then

Washed in pale light.

 

Sitting in a pool of hot, wet.

Like a crimson carpet on the ground.

Blood.

Screaming.

Bodies, silent and staring.

Everything before empty in my mind, painted with blood.

Hark Into the Dark

 

 

Hark into the dark.

Like a kiss,

A whispered song in your ear,

An ecstatic lover welcoming you home.

 

Fall into the night,

For none ever escape it,

Shadows at the walls,

Lights that catch the alleys.

 

Welcome the unlit,

For it welcomes you,

 

For it hungers for you,

 

A whispered song in your ear,

A soft kiss upon your neck,

 

Wetness,

 

Blood,

 

Welcome the blackness,

For it welcomes you....

Whisper If You Can

 

 

Memories whisper why,

Down deep in this bottle,

Alcohol soaked dreams care not to murmur.

 

Memories,

Memories of ages deep.

 

Haze of my delirium,

And in my heart I find little bits of obsidium.

 

For what am I and what are they twofold.

Wilting of the Nightshade

 

 

Would you pick a rose or a wilting nightshade?

Wilt, a sign that the flower is dying.

Limp, the depression of the flower world.

Soon the night will come where it will disappear...

Forever....

And, then, as is it lay dying, alone, lonely,

All the flowers will look out into the sun.

The light having vanished in the grass,

Darkness....

Wilting petals fall like counting numbers,

The last hour running thin,

With each falling petal to mark the decline.

Alone....

Lonely...

Terror Renewed From Below

 

 

Curled horns, the thing had curled horns!

 

It arose from that foul swamp like a fly to shit!

 

It arose with such presence that the very sight made me scream!

 

Then it looked to me, where eyes should be to see, but yes it looked to me!

 

What courage can a man muster when hell itself rises from the mirth!

 

My legs like noodles were not soon to fall away!

 

Every sight, every thought, everything, came to me in twirling agony, in repetitive terror, in wrenching abysmal horror!

 

It moved the way no, nothing, no thing should move, siraling, spurling, no human word could give it proper!

 

It came dripping, oozing that ungodly muck of the timeless bog!

 

It had no mouth, by god, it had no mouth!

 

Oh, the silence, the sinister, innocent, laughable, quiet!

 

It would inflict untold horror, agony, consumption, torture untold!

 

Oh but why, why does it exist, why me?

 

Then it did something worst of all...it loved me....
