Rest in Power
A formidable tribe consists of a trusting love between families, friends, and those who share a mutual bond of cultural heritage.
Amongst the people a leader emerges, chosen to awaken the determined spirits of all. Raptured bonds select a single man worthy to lead.
The leader responds to the sirens of society without question, qualifying his amount of empathy and understanding to allow a deeper sense of reality to sink in.
Firm palms and rhythmic fingers begin to dance and move along the thin and fastened hide of the tribe.
The beat bounces to a ritual calling for swift movements and vast decisions, aligning the people to move together in support of their new King.
Ceremonial combat challenges two for an opportunity to meet a futuristic fateful phenomenon.
A challenge is arranged between a rightful leader of birth and blood opposing what is viewed to be an unjust outsider.
The contender requested this opportune moment to strike at the forgetful hearts of his ancestors, a position of power which would upset the established order.
Just moments before, the two met speaking of birthright luxuries in which this life rarely chooses to offer.
Discrepancies unfold, bonds arrive and depart while rage enters into the mind.
