To Sharpen the Blade Once More (12)

Excerpt from the journal of Korv the Barbarian.

Is this all there is to life?

Stagnation cutting like a knife

Has the blade become this dull?

Into a stupor I’ve been lulled

Once was meant for greater things

To fly upon immortal wings

Now I merely mark my days

While boredom works it’s evil ways

Will I find a worthy quest?

Will I ever pass this test?

Have I learned, but far too late

This malaise is to be my fate
