There on the ground, his brother Masaron lay dead... Malakar stared blankly at his unfortunate discovery. The body was as still as a rock. A large blood spatter, from where the bullet had shot through his head, made a long spray upon the cobbled road. Malakar scanned the wound from where he stood, noticing that it had to have been a pretty powerful shot to have penetrated his helmet and made such a large hole. "It was a sniper," he said. "Yes," the clan member answered, "It was..." Malakar found it hard to believe that Masaron had been killed. But, even more bizarrely, he found it odd that he felt nothing. He continued to stare, seeing on

Emptiness again, This darkness prevails, I am alone, but not without a vision, I have seen many doubts, Too much to drown again, I’ll not be dragged away from my mission, My beloved is all I want, But sometimes there is only silence, It forces me to agonise on my own, But what will I do, When she is gone forever? It is an outcome that haunts me to the bone, I need my own independence, I need my inner strength, I have become weak yet sprouted seeds that I must nurture, I must look for an answer, I must hunt down a solution, Even now, I am still a prolific searcher, But something tells me I know the answer, Like I’ve known it

Born and raised in the ways of faith, Indoctrinated by holy text, I always hated religious education, But soon my eyes awakened, Science began to take hold, And the truth had begun its propagation, Always a logical thinker, Naturally, I'd find the answer, But I always thought truth alone was the cure, But I realise now I was wrong, The faith was never meant for me, It was to keep the masses controlled and in awe, It was to give them guidance, To not repeat mistakes from the past, For they lack the intuition to know right from wrong, Yes, I have seen the lives of the faithless, And seen what it turns them into, And I realise faith was nee

Kneel before The Dragon, For there is nothing greater, An entity so powerful and pure, The giver of the truth, The height of all reason, The Great Almighty Dragon is the cure, A world that suffers ignorance, The Dragon purges blindness, The visions that it provides, do not lie, You live in emptiness, You have not embraced The Dragon, You have nothing and you wonder why, Where the living feed on each other, Nothing more than animals, You have been put down by those on top, You had passion once, But grim reality consumed you, Only the young haven't been tainted by the clock, But you thought there was nothing else, Nothing left to live for

I had a taste of life, Entered the chaotic fray, I disguised myself as human just to learn, It was an interesting experience, The astringent flavours remain, I languished, just to work and earn, I lowered my expectations, I tolerated others, I learned what it was really like to 'serve', I even suffered injury, A victim of bodily harm, The humans here really have a nerve, But even after witnesses saw, I'm still the one who had to call the medic, For nobody else had the sense to use their brain, Oh, almighty heavens above, Your flock are truly useless, And their presence here is by far my biggest pain, I assimilated their silly ways, Educ
