Watcher From The Shadows

When the moon is full

And there is no sound

There are no creatures

In the darkness around



That instinct of theirs

It leads them true

For deep in the shadows

She is watching you



Here breath is still

Her eyes are fixed

Her blade is steady

Her targets picked



The soldier's goal

To seek her out

The watcher's goal

To wipe them out



And as she watched them

They crossed the field

With iron spears

And metal shields



Once they had marched

Across her lines

She sprang from her tree

With speed refined



With a flash of red

And a frightening "swish"

The barely had time

For their final wish



With a hack and a slash

And blood on the ground

And the speed of a bolt

She cut them all down



In the time of an hour

She murdered 500 men

Standing alone in the moonlight

She fought a monster within



This monster is a void

And this void is a pain

And the purpose of the void

Is to push her to train



For stronger she must be

To face that fateful one

To find a greater task

Into the darkness she runs



Her eyes are focused

Her steps are fast

But her mind is quicker

With memories past



They push her, drive her

Through the depths of the night

As she watches from the shadows

Always ready to fight
