Ballad for the Hero

by Vesper   Feb 5, 2008


In the light of the moon
Of parents unknown
With a heart of a hero
A boy was born...

He was named after the stars
Orion - they called him
With hopes that in life
The moon will guide him...

The boy grew strong
In both body and mind
He mastered the arts
Of combat and magic combined...

And one day he left
On a quest long forgotten
To find out what
On this world had brought him...

He walked fast with no rest
The Moon Temple - his goal
He walked mighty and proud
With destiny under his control...

There he fought fiery dragons
And bloodthirsty beasts
He fought Black Knights
And their dark priests...

And at the top of the temple
Covered in his blood
He raised arms to the moon
And on the ground thud...

The moon shone bright
And bathed the boy with its light
It carried him to the skies
For he was the Moon's glorious knight...

And now at night
When you look at the sky
You see Orion
Willing to fight and ready to die...
