From the suggester: This piece is raw and rugged, but still so finely-executed. I greatly enjoyed this read.

ChrysalisChrysalis
 
Colors of every kind adorn your wrists,
And this is your outer shell.
With jade streaks and violet bands,
Holding together your growing form.
Tips of the marks drawing souls on your skin.
Representing a spirit of a girl,
With felt-tips always near the top of her fingers.
As her hand slips in yours,
And your eyes close as your chrysalis takes shape.

And you can’t be broken, when you’re just now
Becoming a butterfly that graces the skies.
And as your wings stretch
And your nest unsettles,
Your physical metamorphosis is nearing its end,
As your wing disks begin to widen and flutter,
Your trail beginning to take place within the atmosphere.
You are flying high,
Your wings were never broken, my dear,
It was your cocoon finally breaking apart,                     
As you reach quintessence.


A fantastic poem about the wonder of breaking and coming out beautiful again.

He hung at the back of the group, his helmet covering his face, watching as the bandits sneered at a lone cloaked figure sitting at a nearby table.
The thief returned to his mead. There was no reason for him to get involved. Kalder liked it best when people paid no attention to him, and there was enough on his plate already without having to go and interfere with some braggart bandits stirring up trouble. As Kalder contemplated the idea of getting another tankard, the cloaked figure at the table spoke.
"Do we have business with each other?" The figure’s voice was rough and


An action-packed fantasy piece about a mysterious man with a bounty on his head.
