The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

The Blood of the Noble   
by Asena Lourenco 

Thick drips of candle ooze solidify on rotted oak,

The irritable heat magnifying the stench of smoke,

Yet in the midst of the ring of flimsy flames,

Stood a girl as strong as her name,

.

Tribal chants echoed within worship’s walls,

Bringing death as leaves begin to fall,

And in a similar fashion, the end began,

For the girl bleeding the noble purple of her land.
