Chapter 14 - Soldier.

I used to be a soldier...

But then they took away my sword.

They tried To turn me into a Mage

But with my studies, I grew bored.

I used to be a warrior.

I used to charge the enemy lines.

I would brave their sharpest blades

I've missed death a thousand times.

I used to be the battle-born

The fastest draw

The loudest horn.

I used to love the heat of war

But now I fight their bouts no more...

I used to be a fighter.

I never ran from anyone.

I'd tackle giants if they wished.

I'd rumble until the day was done.

I used to have the strongest arm.

I used to be their greatest man.

I used to liberate their fields.

Free any village, town, or land.

I used to be the prodigy

The chosen one

The immortal.

I use to be their legend...

That was true

Until they took my soul.

I won them glory

Fame and more

They came and kicked in my front door

They took my hand and took my sword.

They burned it all

They broke my world...

Their magic sapped my strength away

I fought their chains

They wouldn't break.

I think I know where it went wrong.

They feared my might

I was too strong...

And now I await the waking gong

For come tomorrow

I'll be gone.

But I won't go easy...

Tough as a boulder.

For one last moment

I'll be a soldier.
