AlekShi - Through the Eyes of the Chimera

The flask is shattered, raining broken glass, In damp and dismal cellars, death takes flight. Defying rules and science, from the mass, She drew her first deep breath inside the night. A second pair of lungs, a yellow gaze, The pitch-black darkness swallowed all her past. A single order cuts the mental haze: "Run!" — and her echoing steps are falling fast. ​She walks across the scorched and barren land, A pack of feral beasts obeys her call. That turned into her light, her fate, her all. A child of shadows, now no more a slave, She’s half a maiden, half a savage beast. She breaks the rules the wasteland ever gave, To find the door where all his pain has ceased. ​Fierce trappers feared her in the untamed wood, They watched her fading through the pouring rain. A messenger of doom is where she stood, She bent the deadly earth to her domain. In borrowed armor, in a faceless guise, Where ancient scars like medals are engraved, She recollected all the bitter lies, How she was both betrayed and gently saved. ​Across a bridge of dead and broken backs, She stepped into the ruined, empty block. The zealots halted dead right in their tracks, And dropped their rifles, broken by the shock. No words, no bullets—just an iron will, That crushes minds and strips the madness bare. She tracks a rusty bolt across the chill, That holds the scent of him she follows there. ​She walks across the scorched and barren land, A pack of feral beasts obeys her call. That turned into her light, her fate, her all. A child of shadows, now no more a slave, She’s half a maiden, half a savage beast. She breaks the rules the wasteland ever gave, To find the door where all his pain has ceased. ​And nine dark shadows reach the final gate, Where metal is melting and sanity dies. The beast-girl will never surrender to fate, She’s warmed by the suit and the sorrow it hides. He pulled her from fire, from absolute hell, And now she returns to repay him as well. ​The final frontier. The door is released. A human... A weapon... A beast.
