Mad Slave

A boy enters a year of famine; seas turn to mulberry fields. With books in his pack and a sword at his side, the mad rebel dares to lead the way. The bats vanish from sight, while he laughs at the swallows nesting beneath the roof. The cripple ascends to heaven, white-haired and blazing with rage. I am invincible; demons and monsters cower and fall silent.
