Chapter 71: Super Short Stories. Part 8. War Mallet.
Something new!
Small happenings in and around the random corners of Enverdolmal.
Often just short musings, observations, or questions.
All random!
All Canon!
Enjoy folks!
----------
Dunda held his mallet,
He was but three years old.
His Mum said he could have it
Till he grew grey and old.
He ran around and banged on things
His parents never cared.
To separate him from the thing
Neither of them ever dared.
It was a bit of a strange toy
But so too was its wielder.
It would bring comfort to the boy
A staunch confidence builder.
When war came calling
He would hide
As boulders rained down
from outside
Of walls not tall enough to matter,
Booms
and
Bangs
and
Shouts
and
Clatters.
Under his bed
He hid that night
As the battle raged around.
His home and Dorpie battered till
Most of the walls fell down...
A raid had taken many lives,
One being his beloved Mum...
His mallet was all that he had
More than enough, far less to some.
His father would be taken next
As Aether racked his form...
Evaporated in a blast,
From this world, he was torn...
The boy would become a young man,
And one day he would hear,
one final knock upon his door,
The end of all his fears.
----------
See you all over at the gates of Enverdolmal soon enough!
Safe travels folks.
And as always,
Stay say.
Stay healthy.
Stay vigilant.
