Family Bond

they came and took away his family while he slept under the tree,
his home burned and evidence of them taken that he can see,
taking his tools left sitting on the ground,
hammering together weapons with each metal smashing sound,
an axe, a sword, a spear, for each horses print a weapon to use,
knowing who they were and knowing his family is suffering the abuse,
he looks at the sharp edges of his blades,
as the smoke of his burning home fades,
darkness falls as his mind goes over the horrors he might find,
the road is long as he tracks in the dark going over things in his mind,
reaching the fort made of stone and wood shaped into the rock,
first he approaches the gate giving it a gentle tapping knock,
someone opens the small peephole to see who is there,
he is stabbed in the eye leaving him standing with a blank stare,
using another tool he climbs over the gate to the other side,
coming to another guard giving him the swords sharp blade a slide,
throwing a knife hitting another guard in the throat,
he walks to the dungeons still with weapons in his coat,
using his axe and cutting into the head of another guard,
then finally he kills the last barehanded choking him hard,
his family sit in the dungeons waiting for him to arrive,
as he takes them home again thankful they are alive.
