#my little tiefling fighter pulled out all the stops and managed to defeat ares in hand to hand combat

[lavenderlhymes]

it all happened so fast

our delicate dance

one in which I could not afford to stumble

could not afford to reserve any of the

schemes I had hidden up my sleeves

in the blink of an eye

i brought this god of war and trickery

to his knees before me

with a graze of my fist

his chest caved in all cascading sand

as red as though he was crafted from

martian soil and raging tempest

now I’m flexing my fingers

standing center stage

no longer just a small mortal creature

too resourceful for her own good

surrounded by a crowd

screaming my name in waves of elation

I had a mission but

where does this newfound power leave

me in the grand scheme of everything

I believed this place to be godless

there are gods here but they have fallen

so far from their mantles in the stars

placed directly in my path by

the galactic hand that pulls the strings

they’re wrapped up in from afar

to grant me a boon?

to test my strength?

all of the answers are lying in wait
