Chapter 8.0 : Horns of War ...

As I knelt before the Light in our dim-lit alter,
I made a silent prayer to the one whom we call father.
To give me strength to leave my love to fight what ever that befalls us,
to protect those whom we cherish and keep them safe we must.

I adjusted my hands back into Faith as I rose to my feet.
Adjusting my light robes as it glittered in the waning light .
Flinging my cape back with home embroidered gloriously in pure white.
Bending over to return Hope from the ice cold floor from where it laid.

A kindred soul passed it to me,
with a smile that lifts all forms of misery.
As my vision extended to the foreground,
I realized that I have found my reason.

A lover that understands me thoroughly,
and took my heart to eternity.
I have found a meaning for this reason,
to stand and fight off this senseless treason.

Slamming on my knees to catch a hug,
I caught a young life so delicate to touch.
He held me tight with his weaking arms,
trembling furiously as those crystal tears rolled past those tender cheeks.
I held his innocent face in between my hands,
and looked right into a heart of a man.
A promise, a smile, a kiss we shared,
as he slowly understood where we stand.

Embracing a hold that we deeply desired,
I rose to hold on to the love that we both inspired.
I held on to her heart, her love, her soul,
as we embraced each other with a firm hold.
We looked deep into each others eyes for a moment,
and realized that reality is something that cannot be avoided.
I took in her scent, her touch and her love for one last time,
holding on to whatever that's left and kept in deep into my mind.

Taking one last look at the ones that I hold dear,
settling down my heart as it drew tears.
A silent promise to make it back here,
to abolish and hold the ones away from fear.
Brushing the dark brown door open as the Horns of war sounded,
echoing through the hollow alleys of the City.
With a deep breathe I turned back with my warmest smile,
and left for war to face the endless vile.
