Waking up to find a total eclipse of the sun
Its a strange feeling and there is no light to shine the way
A low frequency sound is running in the background
Everywhere I turn a foul wind blows
What once brought me comfort now is gone
What once I trusted now has turned
I travel in the dark seeking the source of this darkness
People are feeble and falling under the weight of their fears
I pick up my pace and start to run
Going by memory I race to the boulder by the sea
I climb the slippery rock coated in wet algae
Determined now, I am driven by an instinct that cannot be denied
And there my eyes see the culprit hovering above
He is blocking the sun with his massive scale covered armor
His talons stretch towards me as a threat, but I stand tall
“So its you again” I say, and he blurts his fiendish laughter
“I thought I killed you”, I say
“I exist wherever people let me exist”, he spurts sarcastically
I remember the golden rule, you cannot make anyone else believe
Nor can you cause them to see what you see
When people are blind they don’t even notice that the sun is eclipsed
They carry on in darkness, not even knowing what they’re missing
The true sun, the light of day never rises for the blind
But they don’t know any better, they just feel a little or a lot confused
But not for my people I think, I will not let them fall prey
“Ahhhhh”- I let out a long sign while I stare at the beast
His grin is consuming his face, he’s a cocky mother fucker
I spit on the ground in protest, he giggles profusely
I watch him in fascination, not in fear and he can sense it
Straight faced we have a stare down, showdown
I laugh my own fiendish laugh and he frowns
He knows when he’s pushed me too far, my old foe
He’s trying to make a comeback, he’s been bored with humanity
It is just too easy to spin their tops and he wants a challenge
I walk to the pile of rocks I stacked a long while ago and tear them down
They’ve been there on this boulder top since the last time we had a match
“I knew it was you, I can always see when you’re back in town” I say
He watches me dig, he knows what I will find when I get to the bottom
He shakes with anticipation which is a mixture of terror and excitement
“I’ll give you this one day, but when tomorrow comes you’re gonna wish you stayed away
from this town” I say as I reach the bottom and grip my glowing sword
I rise it high above my head and now I feel the power surging through my body
My heart connects to my weapon and I stare for one last moment into his eyes and say
“You’re gonna get it VASTATOR DRACO
They don’t call me Dragon Slayer for nothing”
Whoosh, he bellows his thunder, lighting, rain and gale force wind
I turn my back and climb back down the boulder and back home
He twitches, I’ve got him thinking now, Does she know something I don’t know
I giggle as I think to myself, Of course I do Sweetheart, I’m your mother.
