too scared to raise the sword

brave and strong..

he walked the isles of sand..

with a heart of a lion..

and the eye of a tiger..

had seen many battles..

the invincible warrior..

never had his sword bowed to a man..

off in the thoughts of life..

he walked through the dust..

his shield on his arm..

to the enemy state..

bound to kill..every single sign of life..

and he pushed the gates of the empire open..

and he raised his sword..

to kill the woman running away..

he knew he was too fast for her..

she knew he was too fast for her..

and her veil slipped..

and rebecca screamed for mercy..

rebecca..

born in the desert lands of arabia..

hazel eyed,beautiful as princess..

a soldier's daughter..

a martyr's blood..

raised by her mother..

who never saw her turning into a teen..

the family killed in a battle..

with the blood of a warrior..

she went away to farther lands..

to seek the murderer of her father..

to avenge her inheritence..

she'd heard about him..

he was an invincible warrior..

with the heart of a lion..

and the eye of a tiger..

she'd heard..

that his sword had never bowed to a man..

they called him adil..

adil..

didn't know who he was..

or where he came from..

or where he belonged..

they say he was picked up by a bladesmith..

from the gutters..

he called the bladesmith,father..

though he hated that word..

coz he always craved for closeness..

which he never got..

all his life he lived amongst swords..

swords were his first friend..

and his last..

so he knew how to wield a sword..

even better than the king..

and thus his fame rose..

until he became the fighter....

whom no one could beat..

they said he had a heart of a lion..

and the eye of a tiger..

had seen many battles..

the invincible warrior..

never had his sword bowed to a man..

rebecca..

walked through the roads of the unknown land..

with a veil on her face..

only her hazel eyes were visible..

she turned into a corner..

into a dark alley..

a few men were drinking at the end..

she tried to avert her way..

but they were too fast and strong for her..

and captured her..

playing with her beauty..

she screamed for help..

when a man with long flying hair..

blue eyes and a strong jaw..

with his muscular strong arms..

pulled her away from the men..

and stood in between the wolves and the bait..

in his husky deep voice..

he asked them to leave her alone..

but the wolves were drunk..

and they called him to fight..

he took out his sword..

and killed them all in a flash..

then he looked back at the one he had saved..

the blue eyes met the hazel..

and silence floated around..

as if both of them had melted into the night..

and were a part of it..

his hands touched her face..

as he slowly took the veil off her face..

and saw her beautiful face..

and felt the closeness he had raved for all his life..

and she looked back at him..

mesmerised by his aura..

he had heard people talking about love..

she had heard people talking about love..

he dint knew what it was..

she dint knew what it was..

but they knew it bound them forever..

beyond their destinies could meet..

their fates were sealed..

across the sands of the desert..

his breath became a part of hers..

as he came close to her lips..

and touched them with his..

he felt blessed..

he felt alive..

he felt he knew someone in this world..

who was closer to him than his sword..

she felt complete..

as if her parents had returned to earth...

to embrace her into warmth..

she felt overwhelmed..

then they parted their lips..

and he asked her name..

rebecca,she said..

she asked his..

he had hardly said adil..

when he saw her eyes widen with fear..

he had seen fear all his life..

so he knew it was fear..

and she ran away from him somewhere..

somewhere he could never find her again..

and he never saw her..

until one day..

brave and strong..

he walked the isles of sand..

with a heart of a lion..

and the eye of a tiger..

off in the thoughts of life..

he walked through the dust..

his shield on his arm..

to the enemy state..

bound to kill..every single sign of life..

and he pushed the gates of the empire open..

and he raised his sword..

to kill the woman running away..

he knew he was too fast for her..

she knew he was too fast for her..

and her veil slipped..

and rebecca screamed for mercy..

and for the first time in his life..

him..

the invincible warrior..

with a heart of a lion..

and the eye of a tiger..

had seen many battles..

never had his sword bowed to a man..

was too scared to raise the sword.
