Embracing the Monster

It was a cold dark night,
With snow as high as the knees.
He stood alone against an army ready for a fight,
Since the army had trapped him and put his back to the trees.

The snow once white now painted red,
From the man, blood poured from head to toe.
He starts to faint from how much he's bled,
But shadows slowly begin to engulf him from the blood in the snow.

The army now afraid from the fearful sight,
From the shadows the man stood different than before.
A wave of soldiers lashed out with all their might,
Within a blink of an eye the soldiers fell, their souls gone forever no more.

He appeared to them not as a demon, nor a beast,
Without help the shadows will consume him and conquer.
Their souls he will soon devour for his feast,
The man is just embracing the monster.
