The Kingdom’s Ruler

Darkness shrouds the land in an abysmal embrace, the rays of light fail to penetrate the dark clouds overhead; the cold chuckle of the God of Death, harvest the lives of peasants, leaving the false kings to their own devices.

War is a game played by those behind the safety of iron walls; to curb their minuscule ego of power, of being in control. The royals, politicians, those in charge never get to experience the feeling of war firsthand; so they never know that their words hold more weight than gold!

One sentence, no, maybe just one word is all that's needed for families to be torn apart, separated by the immense boundaries between life and death.

Oh, sad it is, monarchs and patriarchs fail to uphold their hold on power, their people. Without the people, they are worthless, yet people began to fear them, making the people in power take advantage of them.

Children fail to see their fathers, sisters never see their brothers, mothers grieve for their sons and daughters, but the grandparents, those weather harden souls, signed silently in agony. They remember a time when all was just, everyone lived in peace, laws existed for the people and no one was above the laws, now? The world is far more distant than they remember and more brutal.

The aboriginal races of the continent perished before the rising might of the Empire, who conquered and slaughtered all those who oppose them. The sovereignty of the Empire is above lives born outside of the Empire.

With the Empire taking territory constantly and the aboriginals fighting back, the continent was covered in blood for centuries, before aboriginals died off or either abandoned their ancestral homes, for the HighLands.

Peace covered the land, but that's something those in charge forced people to believe, but the hearts of the many could not be a fool, seeking hope, only to once again be disappointed.

It was in their darkest moments that unknown to all, greatness found them, thus beginning a tale that would never be told, a tale that can only be seen, and engrave into the souls of all those who witnessed it, the magnificent tale of his Lordship!!
