A Life Time of Endeavor
A Lifetime of Endeavor

1 – The Ambition

Tantalized, by an ambition and a promise to himself.

He fantasized, about a life as a god in human form.

A system susceptible to corruption, the path unveiled.

A grand and golden era, the calm before the storm.

Find a way, the dream would become truth, victory or death.

Corrupt the position earned, his will be done.

Wearing the face of Atregtius, yet bearing the heart of Maglubix.

On a path to certain death, to start by the setting of the sun.

Unholy alliances smitten, a plot takes its shape.

To reign for a thousand years, awaiting the first day.

A lifetime spent eventually sees its catalyst.

The hunter snares its prey.

2 – The Reign

Delusion finally betrays him.

His vision is not bestowed before his eyes.

Only a conflict of the grandest state.

Yet still, he tells himself the same lies.

Brother fights brother, fire tarnishes the land.

Growing older, his entire life has been in vain.

Desperate, the new heir is set, fearing a failed legacy.

Dark shadows over all of Galatoi, thousands of arrows rain.

The Vilicus sits on his throne.

With the Eye of Vallus and a heart of stone.

An empire built on power and greed.

A bleeding ground for those who don't heed.

3 – The Fall

War fails to end, an empire starts to fall.

Mirage fades, the consequences set.

Hiding behind it, the demon laughs.

Too late for regret.

Isolation from others, caught in a sea of confusion.

Illness worsens as the final days slowly arrive.

Followed the voice to a dead end.

Now still in bed, waiting slowly to die.

Years later, a land remains broken apart.

Peace finally achieved, after decades of terror.

Not Nitalian nor Olyx, the new century is here.

An empire fallen after a lifetime of endeavor.
