NEVERLAND PT 2

The malicious darkness teasingly withdrew it's attack,

then almost immediately launched again,

but my blade pierced through its fragile form

and it fell to the ground in cowardice,

as I went in for the killer shot it melted into the earth again,

materialising before me double it's previous size,

in its expanse the darkness saw strength, ignorant to the power of my blade it charged again,

with precision I pierced its centre and watched it vaporise & ignite

and in the flames I saw an inscription appear on the blade,

like an ancient text I could not understand,

I dropped it, legs weak I staggered toward myself,

I arose from the ground to hold my spirit,

It fell into me and I awoke.
