Monsters are Made (Not Born)
Two enemies, that once might have been friends, they meet;
No matter the winner here, it ends with defeat.
Auseklenis draws on magic of a devil
While Gale does instead in wrathful hatred revel.
The battle runs long, they cause injury and bleed,
A child form on whom they would never have agreed.
Gale spots this fresh foal first; "Where did that child come from?"
Their foe; "You know, he never described you as dumb!"
It is with horror that realization does dawn,
With Oneiros's pet monster, Gale now has a spawn.
As they stand, all lost, Auseklenis slips away,
He has other things to do than a fight today.
Gale stares at the child, and this brand new child stares back.
All they can think of is what this fresh life must lack;
How could a being born of monsters end up kind,
Let alone show compassion or have a sound mind?
A child of monsters, that same child will monster be,
Gale concluded, and they did not consciously see
That by making this exact choice they had become
A monster as well due to this very outcome.
189 words! Shorter than some, but I adore it and where it will lead...
Very proud of this one!
