A year and ten days ago the four gods prophesied the smiting of four massive cataclysmic demons. One of smoke, one of fire, one of metal, and one of corpses. It has been a year and ten days since the fateful battle took place, yet three of the four still remain. Kalon, prophesied hero, wanders the world a defeated man. The world is on its last breath, humanity seeks refuge in the remains of civilization. Winter is eternal, and the snow is a mix of corpsen ash and dirty water.Kalon must find the strength to overcome his own demons, and the remaining three that will stop at nothing to extirminate humanity.tl;dr: Prophesied hero fights giant kaiju demons in epic poem format.

_____

I am writing an epic poem in the style of John Milton. This poem is a response to Milton's, and the work is entirely original. The book is broken into 12 smaller "books" of poetry, and I expect to be around 120 pages in length.

    A modern twist on classic text, it’s really worth a look
    But do be careful not to expect ‘just another book’
    this is written in a way that might catch you off guard
    but it’s well worth getting used to if you ask this bard
    I recommend this to the reader who wants something new
    after getting used to it, this work will grow on you
    give yourself some time to get the hang of the book’s pace
    eventually the story will jump right out at your face
    The Deeds of Kalon is a tribute to the tales of old
    but it is not a copy-pasted story being told
    there’s a plot emerging that is all the author’s own
    and on the royal road i think this work will stand alone
    It’s hard to rate a work like this on a site such as this
    it’s a niche that many people will not want to miss
    I rate it high because it does what it intends to do
    it pays homage to Milton and tells a great tale too
