The Reign of Ashes


'From the moment we are born, we are slaves.'
He'd been born into a home full of warmth and joy, to a life of hope and
promise. He'd began the same way as every other human did; tiny, pink and crying. Crying for someone else. For another to hold him. It was her fingers he'd felt, the first feelings he'd ever experienced. Warmth. Warmth had always been there. She'd brought him to her cheek, sniffling and smiling, and whispered into his cheek, "No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
'Slaves to a life that does not want us. To a world constantly fighting against us, always trying to crush us and demean us until we're dead inside.'
Her fingers tightened around him and her face had tightened until her words came out as a pitiful sob. "No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
'Some people fall down and die like useless cowards, just letting life take them away.'
"No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
'I don't care who you are. We have a duty to fight, a duty to live another day, where others could not. If no one stands, no one ever will. If no one fights, you'll never be free.'
"...matter what happens, I will always be with you."
'I don't care who stands in the way. In one that gets in the way of someone's freedom, someones choices doesn't deserve to live. Anyone who refuses to fight doesn't deserve the freedom others fought for.'
"...what happens, I will always be with you."
'So long as I am alive I will never stop fighting. I don't care who it is, who gets in my way, who tries to stop me, I will never stop. I will never lay down and rest.'
"...happens, I will always be with you."
'As long as I'm still breathing, as long as I'm alive, I will fight.'
"...I will always be with you."
'I will fight any beast that gets in my way,'
"... I will always be with you."
'I will NEVER stop,'
"... I will ALWAYS be with you."
'I will ALWAYS fight.'
