House of Shadow

I do not speak of heroes.
I speak of those who walked in silence.
Of boots torn at the sole,
and breath taken with care
lest the wind betray them.

I walked the road to Umbra alone,
but never unmarked.
Each tree knew my name,
each stone held a memory,
and the crows whispered
what the living dared not say.

My brothers called it exile.
The warlords called it treason.
The wolves knew better.
They call it the long return.

I did not carry banners.
I carried wounds.

I did not seek the throne.
I sought peace and found shadows
that bled like I did.

And when the night fell thick with frost,
and even the stars looked away,
I did not pray for light.
