Ascent

arqios

 

In the final moment,

Orion unleashes a blinding radiance

 

that dispels the damnable Eclipse.

The kingdom is bathed

in light once more,

and Sol, though weakened,

smiles with pride.

 

Orion has transformed

from son to sun,

fulfilling the prophecy

and securing his legacy.

The people, awestruck,

hail Orion as the new Sun.

His light is different from his father’s

                —unique and full of promise.

 

He stands tall,

a beacon for future generations,

ready to guide them

through any darkness.

    I love this kind of writing, Arqios. I need to let this one marinate for a while. Keep a (long) eye out for the Phoenix, if you catch my drift?!

          arqios, this is a wonderful write, my friend. The mythic frame, the generational shift, and the promise carried forward all work together seamlessly. It’s not just about victory, but guidance…indeed. Powerful piece. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

              A joy to read - a prominent constellation that brings light on these dark wintry UK days.
