First visit to his uncles rambling house
never knew he had this relative
until the day of his funeral and wake
drawn to a carved walking stick
its handle shaped like an eagle’s head
touching it could see only red!
Emotions on overload of deep hatred
people screaming for mercy
many bodies being slashed by a sword
dropping the cane aghast
checking nobody saw him walked away
gingerly not wanting to stay!
Outside in the afternoon sun in a daze
uncertain what had happened
but could vividly still see those images
that shook a fifteen year old
it was as though he was the actual slayer
not a passive player!
His father came out to find him standing
dazed and of pale complexion
enquired if he was upset at the funeral
the lad said he was fine
not mentioning his paranormal episode
his mind at that moment distant!
There was a secret that had not been told
for sometime knew he was different
as now the house was calling his name
as if it was welcoming him home
after that initial shock he returned within
knew his initiation was about to begin!
Unaware that his son had been summoned
never saw him go up the staircase
or the door to the study open and a bearded
man gleefully welcoming him in
soon would realise that he was not the same
from a kind lad a monster came!
