A Lost Nin, By: Jordan Eze

March 12, 2024 by Jordan Eze

A Lost Nin, By: Jordan Eze

I sprint to Chang’an by rooftop.
Xuanzang has given us a new mission.
So soon? I vanish in the heavy darkness.
The Holy Scriptures is our new object to prise.

Me, a lone monkey with my three fellows.
Stick to our task. One is Happy. One is Sad. One is Angry.
One is Sadder. We keep focused.

I continue alone, we meet foes along the way.
My katana bloodies, My power is immense.
But I have lost sight of the task. My fellows have abandoned me, Or have i abandoned them?

Now, i am defiant and even worse. A vagabond.
