Sleeper awakes

An inky and impenetrable darkness begins to fade, the light of the outside world streams in to ignite the fire behind a pair of golden coloured eyes. The cold subsides, bringing a tingling sensation to the body and awakening muscles that have lain dormant for many years. The sound of cracking crystal and smashing glass carries through the frozen air to ears that have waited ever patient for the tiniest sound. The taste of bile in the mouth and the smell of fear are reminders of what has gone before. Change has come to the world again.

I have listened for hundreds of years. Waited for the time when I can be free, a time when I can bring all of them back. Someone has broken my prison and now I can see. The darkness lifts and a new age will begin. The hammer has been found and the land must be ready for another war, for I am certain they have not finished with their petty disagreements yet.
