Closer to Closure
Asura.
It is nine swords that pierce through flesh to satisfy the constant cravings for fear and victory and blood.
It is six arms to hold the futures and the lives of his enemies in order to protect the ones closest to him.
It is six eyes to see the world fall to its knees and and bury its shallow heart in the ground where it belongs.
It is six ears to let him hear the cries that beg for mercy, mercy that will not be given.
It is six lungs to allow him to breathe the air around him that refuses to be inhaled by anyone else.
It is three heads that will soon be able to fall and rest on a ship where all that he knows and cares for will never leave too soon.
It is three mouths that dare not try to form words of surrender in what seems to be his time of dying.
It is three hearts that will continue to beat forever and ever until that of another becomes frozen and useless.
It is one spirit that has spent its last day in the shadows and has finally come to reality in the form of an illusion.
It is one man becoming one step closer to becoming the greatest swordsman in the world.
