You were destined to be there for him,
But will you deny destiny or embrace it?



Your little brother looks up to you,
Stretching his neck to see you,

Listen to how he speaks,
So young,
Ignorant it seems,
He needs you to teach him,
Be there for him,
Cast the shadows away,

To him you have that power,
You are a great magician who can save him,
But will you?

The first years were great,
You taught him how to carry his sword with pride,
But he is still rough,
He’s almost there,
Well……………………
He was………………..
But you failed him.

As days passed you spent less time together,
Going off to save the princess,
Leaving the dragon behind.

You were ready but could care less if he was

He could stand to the shadows,
But when against fire and brimstone you get burned.

Your fine,
You got the girl,
Saved the kingdom,
But your brother is slowly dying at the hands of the beast.

You bask in the riches you have received as the snapping of bones can be heard in the pool of blood,
But while you ignore there is another watching from behind.

He jumps in to vanquish the dragon,
Jumps out victorious and runs off again.

Your brother screams with the last of his life for the stranger to stop.

A swift stop,
A sudden turn,
And an instant radiance.

The stranger greets the young one and sees he is unprepared,
Stretched hands pour down upon him,
From this one there is many.

The two reside now in the strangers kingdom as the young one still grows,
Each day growing,
Scales,
Wings,
And a tail,
Eventually becoming what he once feared,
Only this time avoiding the need to kill,
Protecting those he loves and ones who are like he once was.

Years have passed, but a war is now starting.
Do you know who?
Your brother is here,
The other is you.

Your little brother, in the mists of battle, remembers the starry hill where you once shared countless nights together as dreams mingled in sweet memories as the stars shown down upon the two of you both.
Truly wonderful times.

In happy tears he drops his arms and awaits your move,
The battle shall now commence,
Remember that he loves you and always will,
But on different sides of the battle ground will a war wage or a treaty be signed?
This poem was enspired by my friend from 3 or so years ago, lets just say that whole face your past thing, its not that far from true...........
