this child was born with magic in her veins

i live for tales of adventure
tales of magic that are beyond comprehension
of strange creatures that breathe flames and are as large as mountains
of heroes, villains and everyone in between
of long swords and jeweled daggers covered in blood
of politics and division that end in war
of kingdoms and empires that span across oceans
of victory and and of loss
the kind of loss that shakes to the foundation of one’s soul
and changes them
