  "Descent," "Stagnate," "Ascend."

  War Gods’ Song

  A warrior so strong he outlived half a dozen kings

  too strong to be taken down, no matter what war brings

  though his life was simple he was bound to swing his sword

  power earned in battle was, for him, its own reward

  So began his hunt for ever stronger enemies

  but no matter who he fought, he brought them to their knees

  fearful that the skills he couldn’t test would soon stagnate

  he found a tournament where he could still participate

  His king brought knights and soldiers from all corners of the world

  an era of excitement in the kingdom had unfurled

  as the tournament progressed much talent was displayed

  the warrior however felt his plans had been betrayed

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Every knight he fought it seemed was weaker than the last

  it filled him with anger when the fights would end too fast

  into madness he began a quick and cold descent

  declaring he’d fight every person at the tournament

  In the chaos every knight took arms against that man

  but the wisest of them quickly dropped their swords and ran

  it became a war between the warrior and all

  soon the royal army had to answer to the call

  He fought every knight on whom he laid his fearsome eyes

  threatening is own home country with a cruel demise

  when the situation looked as grim as it could be

  then a light shone down upon the land for all to see

  In the light appeared the god of war the kingdom served

  guardian of battles where he dealt what was deserved

  he looked upon the warrior whose quest would never end

  and took the mortal in his hand, so they could both ascend

  The god of war spoke kindly to the warrior at last

  “though your time had not yet come, the final die was cast

  in the realm of gods you’ll find more suitable a war

  the realm of mortals can’t contain your power anymore”

  The warrior just smiled and tried to kill the deity

  and laughed in jubilation when he dodged it easily

  still today they fight each other in an endless bout

  glee in every battle cry and joy in every shout
