Out of rhythm
471 Words
He stood unready
With his knees weak
His arms were heavy
There was blood all over
his clothes already
But he still had the energy
to throw a punch
a barrage of them
maybe just a bunch
but something wasn't right
it was just a hunch
He could evade properly
In a weak state,
but when he was strong,
his reflexes came a bit late
There was no logical answer
for him to intake
and the more he thought of it
the more he couldn't think straight
Well leave that aside
and throw a bolt
of lightning
about a thousand volts
to your opponent
and give him a jolt,
and make him hop around
like a little colt
that's how things were
supposed to have gone
but Shiro tried
and couldn't get it done
the armored man threw it back,
and it dawned
on Shiro that
a real fight was on.
Very soon after
there was no sign
of laughter,
just the sound
of clash and clatter,
and a one sided fight
was the matter
but Shiro wasn't waiting
to receive batter
so he dodged to the side
and did a counter
It was a good one
EXCEPT,
what happened next
he didn't expect
his counter was blocked
and it was all reset
to where his opponent's attack
was set
to hit his chest
a second time yet
Shiro thought of the punch
that had him done
it felt like a thousand
though it was one
his ability to move
was already gone,
he tried to gather strength
but there was none
He tried to speak
but uttered no word
it was then that
the armored man drew his sword
It could be seen that the battle was over, and that Shiro had lost. He couldn't move any part of his body, he just laid there as the armored man walked slowly towards him, dragging his sword on the ground.
Shiro laid there listening to the clanking sounds the sword made as it dragged along the floor.
"Ah..." "ah..." "ah..." "ah" he constantly uttered, as if he was trying to say something, but it was already too late. Shiro watched as the sword came down on him; straight to his heart and twisting more than once.
His entire body had run cold, he could no longer feel his heartbeat (of course he couldn't feel it, anyone who feels a beat after all that twisting should be scared of himself ) and his vision was getting hazy.
"So this is death" Shiro thought not minding what was going on.
Before everything turned completely dark, Shiro heard a loud voice yell "Aka'nchawa" then he saw a bright light that illuminated his entire field of vision, and felt himself getting picked up. Shiro couldn't help but wish, that his saviour should have come earlier.
