1 - The Young Soldier

He was the first and last follower

of the King, yet he was always

told, “A child doesn’t belong in

war.” But when their flag set

aflame, he was still

first to raise his

sword, and the

last to

fall.

 


2 - A Boy Poet

“But what am I without you?” he asked.

My friend, my brother, my other 

half, my partner in crime, my

ally, my family,

is what I wanted

to say. Instead,

I answered

him, “Your

self.”

 

3 - The Failed King

Thought he could make a place, where all could

start anew at their own pace. And 

when challenged for this throne, he

found himself without a

nation of his own.

But if he could

not have it,

no one

would.

 

4 - A Regretful Traitor (There are two below, not sure which one to use)


Regret was not what he expected

to feel as he watched his friends die 

by the swords of his allies. 

Yet he took up his blood-

stained crown and proclaimed

with wild glee, “It 

was never

meant to 

be!”

This piece is about some characters I have followed in a story for months. It's my own words decribing these characters and what they face, and a couple phrases that call back to their famous lines. Hope yoy enjoy!
