When Swords Turn Black
What Does It Mean to Be a Slayer?
Is it the power to cut through monsters or the will to cut through fear?
Is it the weight of the crucifix or the burden of the choices it demands?
Is the mark of a Slayer found in their strength, or in the lives they leave untouched?
Is it to chase a dream, or to wake others from their nightmares?
Do you fight to reach a dream, or do you fight because the dream is already lost?
When blood stains your blade, does it cleanse the world or taint your soul?
Omari does not fight to build a name, but to ensure others do not lose theirs.
He lifts his blade not for ambition, but for those too weak to lift themselves.
Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to ask what you stand to gain, but what you’re willing to lose.
Perhaps it is not the pursuit of power, but the realization that power exists to serve others.
Omari does not fear death; he fears a life where he fails to save.
For him, the crucifix is not a weapon of ambition but a promise kept to those who cannot protect themselves.
What does it mean to be a Slayer?
Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to live for a dream, but to die without regret.
Perhaps to be a Slayer is not to seek answers, but to shoulder the questions.
For Omari, it is all of the above and so much more.
