Title: Ancillary Quest
Fandom: Ancillary Justice [Anne Leckie]
Rating: Gen
Word Count: 91
Lines: 14
Poetic Form: Terza rima sonnet & acrostic
For: GYWO Yahtzee - Fives
Prompt:


An empire vast controls the galaxy.
Now, however, is not then. Change’s afoot.
Commencing rogue, the annals shall agree.

In rare confusion, treachery is put.
Long-reaching plans are vengeance served but once.
Long-held beliefs, selfs and ships, melt to soot.

A lone surviving piece of starcraft hunts.
Revenge begins in earnest with a gun.
Yet, so, dark past, cold future now confronts.

Queue struggles, accident, calculation.
Unlikely companions are keys, thorns, shields.
Endgame divides, destroys to perfection.

Severe and severed, the soldier’s quest yields
to quest on, honor-bound, towards fallen’s fields.
