Duelyst Haiku Contest #1

Hi everyone, and welcome to the first Haiku contest!

Haiku’s are a pretty simple rhyming scheme that follows a strict 5-7-5 syllable layout.
So for an example:

I had the game won
Swarmed the board to gain control
He cast Plasma Storm

So the contest is also really simple, just throw out your best Haiku!

Unlike previous contests, this one will not have a secondary voting round.
Instead, the first and second place will be decided by the number of likes accrued throughout the duration of the contest.

Rules

-Haiku must be Duelyst related
-You can only receive prizing if you submit within the contest duration

The contest will run from 3/21/2017 15:30 EST - 3/31/2017 16:00 EST
-If you are not happy with your post, just pm me and I will delete it and you can post another one, just keep in mind old likes will not be tallied!

Their blood seeps away,
But through it all I remain,
For that is my curse.

Doesn’t the example Haiku have an extra syllable in the first line? Sorry, I’m not a native speaker, so I might be confused about this…

Nope, each word in that line is a separate syllable
