the dark knight 6

By LadyShenna

The dark palace
Rising hauntingly in moon light
Spreading over 5 acres of land
Clustered with big fat trees

In the night silence of death
Nothing moves nothing to see
An area of darkness living souls run away
Leaving the place quickly

The rusty gates empty decades ago
The wall buildings decay and creeper plants
Holding it together gel it perfectly
In the moon light an eerie sight

The broken windows ushering the night wind
Alone you can hear the calling names........
Of people lost and sacrificed in pursuit of immortality
It turns ugly into the night creatures

Decades ago the elder came
With a mission to eradicate these creatures
He managed to kill nearly all of them
Only the leader the black knight escaped

For decades he doesn't hear
Life move on peacefully for many
Then one night the story comes alive
It isn't about story book adventures

It has become true
The black knight has returned
To claim his throne up on the hill
The elder walks pretending with his disguises

As he walks up the familiar ground
The place he used to hunt and lived
Now all rundown leaving to decay
He feels the memories and sorrows

The lord has sold his soul
Into a creature the dark knight
They were friends once in combat
Enjoying lives and women, wine and sex

Now he stands alone
The once beautiful palace crying into the night
The bats flapping wings in the sky
The wind say “Welcome home my friend”
