What's left

"let him live,let him survive"
a woman whispers the words in a language forgotten.

Many have unlearned the old ways,she will make them remember.

"I'd die for our son, would you?"
the words are harsh
When did she become venomous?

kindness becomes expensive in war.

fates hisses about the red haired woman.

a life for the one you stop us from collecting, another for the request.

it will never be a fair trade.

he will survive this.

how will he live with it?

a woman weeps .

a man mourns.

The darkness comes for its spoils.

a son survives.
