The sword plunges earthwards burying hilt- deep 'neath churned sod And armor plate shivers dully resonant as gauntlets loose their grip Pommel studded bright brass asterisk lying cold Hilt rag- doll limp where erstwhile warrior kneeled Arcthyril wards' eldritch phosphorescence fade Slow- dimming mote- star nova fading supernova Spell- force dissipated wan by increment Luminous blade etchmark of the heavens winks Out, great buckler falling board- sharp clang Shield rim bites hardpack adamantine mould The last breaths issue moist ephemerae tendrils Wreathe exhalations steam ghost grey ghost vapors Condensing mizzle shrouds noble profile marred By merciful oblivion final refuge granted Errant champion slumber deep peace of death Softer then when hero- king lies dreamt slumbrous in ivory repose Closing circuit chronicles tell unfinished Yet legend persists unbidden epically sung Through bard- song ballads troubadour's lute strings plucks Fame lives immortal, here dead Hamtaro Laid low, once mightiest of champions arrayed All valor concentrated compact vital kernel Heart ripped forth no sacrifice too costly to grant Great cause its full measure. impressionist painting, loose brushwork, vibrant color, light and shadow play, captures feeling over form, Oil Painting, surreal, concept- art, fantasy, beautiful, painterly, detailed, textural, artistic, aesthetic, intricate details, highly detailed, vivid, volumetric lighting, detailed
