I awoke to darkness, the taste of soil and a crushing on my chest
Panic took hold and I struggled like a captured unicorn
A creature of magic shrouded by fear
My hands pushed upwards into the black wet earth
Fingers and nails clawing at freedom
How long had I been in this state?
How long had I been dead?
How long had I been lost?
The ground above me collapsed as the tips of my fingers felt air
A cold damp breeze
Life wasn't taken from me. It was just hiding
Like a jester in the shadows it played with me
My lungs began to inflate with life
As my cold blood began to warm once again
Frantic and pulsating movements stirred me above ground
Images of what had occurred started to shoot into my mind
I crawled out of my grave, and I lay on the earth that had once kept me
Heavy breathing mixed with a quite sobbing comforted my soul
Something inside me had died, and now something had been reborn
For what purpose I was brought back to life, I do not know?
But I got to my feet, and I looked at the world around me
I gathered all the strength from what was once my forte
And took my first steps into the unknown.
The Dark Prince had been reborn.
