King’s Death

Cat eye infection colour moon defiant, druid-pleasing, in a flambeau-strewn aethyr

Rune-imbued blades made from rocks rained during sky raids erase, per their faith

Old king’s graven name 

His face sighting death barely fights

Barely draws breath as he drains

Crown which he tasted seem’d had only traced his brow a moment ago

Unravelling regal blood travelling far along carved runnels

Running the length of the old stone altar.
