《Ink & Tears》I Used to be a Good Man
Advertisement
She was the light and I was the darkness
Ever dripping putrid by nature
She illuminated me
By illumination it revealed what I reviled about myself
But still she loved me
Still she cared and caressed me with her warmth
The darkness receded
But that was just appearance
Like a jester joking but dead
Making others laugh so their tear stained eyes could not see mine
It never really disappeared from me
Only condensed into an impenetrable orb
An orb of malice, anger
Hatred, self-loathing, and depression
A lesion upon the soul of a man once good
Once so kind so gentle to all things
Hardened to an edge I have become
And yet she is still there glowing
Glinting off my edges
Pushing that putrid thing inside farther into the recesses of my being
Is this good?
Or has it just constricted all that vileness into a bomb
A bomb that wants to ignite
It wants to detonate so badly
At times I want to let it out
Let the rage take hold of me
DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY
Like a little boy that lost his favorite toy
Throwing an unbridled fit
Red faced teary eyed wild hair
Flailing limbs begging to connect with something
But that glowing ember keeps it in check
Like water separating oil
She keeps that obsidian orb away from who I was
And who I am
She keeps me a good man
An honorable man
What a burden has been placed upon her
Always having to glow
Always having to be ready to take action
Snuffing the flame that threatens to detonate
Here I am just a man
A man so full of disappointment and hatred for himself
But a woman, no not a woman a goddess
A saintly goddess so self-sacrificing
As to put herself in the path of this poison
Never worrying about her own toxicity level
Just to keep this man whole
Just to keep this weak man whole
This man of emotion and self-destruction
She keeps me whole
She keeps me grounded in what is
And what will be
If I can just stay the course
If I cannot destroy myself
If I can just become who I was
And stay as I was
A good man
An honorable man
HER man.

Bright Battle Story: Tactics Heart
This is Bright Battle Academy. It is not a place where your hand will be held or your failings compensated for. It is not a place for the weak, or the subversive, or the conspicuously diverse. This is Bright Battle Academy, where champions are forged and legends begin. Dwarfs? Once they were part of the great alliance. They helped build this very academy. But they were so stubborn, so unyielding, so unwilling to bend themselves to the rules. And so they weakened, and so they declined, and so their empires faded. What few that are left shun the academy. We have no dwarfs here. Rogues? Perhaps a handful in the sprawl, hiding in the shadows, hoarding their merits, hoping to buy a promotion to something remotely useful, ninja or assassin perhaps. But in the academy proper? No. We have no rogues here. And yet despite everything here she stands. Nala Greyward, Dwarf Rogue. Pettiest of thieves. Unpleasantest of surprises. Causer of problems. So she killed an ogre. So nobody knows how she did it. So what. Throw her in with the real prospects, with the elves and the vampires and the fighters and the magic users. See how she does in that environment--see just how long it is, before the problem that is Nala Greyward solves itself. This is Bright Battle Academy. Good luck. Discord if you're into that.
