There is a peaceful, wonderful village
An evil army comes out to pillage
The great village falls to them
The darkness swallowed the gem
At the loss I was just a child
When our houses were defiled
The elders came and announced
"Our savior we shall pronounce
According to a prophecy uncovered
Upon which for weeks we have hovered
We have discovered from it the truth
The person who would save us is the youth
None other then the one named..."
And I realized I was the famed
Chosen one who will save the day
To whom people will say
"He is a hero, he is great"
A plan I needed, not just fate
I brought to the people unity
Strengthened the community
And together we defeated
The enemy who retreated
There was happiness and celebration
But there was something causing me frustration
The elders, why did they delay
The announcement to that day
I approached the about it
"Good question," they did admit
"We just wanted to know for certain
But now we do, and the curtain
It has dropped, you are a hero"
That satisfied my absolutely zero
Something was indeed wrong
And it did not take long
For then came a new threat
For the elders had set
An underhand trick to get more power
During our darkest hour
They took everything we owned
And themselves they throned
The new power was of a hue
Not white, and not black too
It was a shade gray
If you may
It was more ruthless though
There was no where to hide or go
And this I did help make
For the gem was just fake
