STACH short story contest #4 AKANJI; THE DEITY OF WAR.

Credit

Out of the warriors in his time, he was perhaps the greatest.

In his time, the songs of praise of other warriors sour as lime but his was melodious more than the harps. Those who could not sing had to mine, to honour a man whose stand is like the Alps.

Akanji! The god of war possessed more power than guru maraji, his charms are so potent and raw that makes nations fled because to him belongs the darkest sigil but notwithstanding he still craves for more.

Talk only not of his lethal spear, what about his axe? The one whose glittering sides instilled fear to warrior’s heart. Only a shield he lack, he believed deity don’t cover their backs because it’s an act of cowardness.

Not even once has he lost a battle, his sword possesses not a sheath until the arrival of Alimuntu [death] blows of pains and sickness he dealt.
If only the duel had been fair just this little, Akanji would have conquered death.
