Hero, A Poem
Back to back they stand
One brought darkness from his land
The other must remove it by hand
One sees dark, the other light
But both have a great might
Armed and willing to fight
They are separated by a door
That can be found by finding the four
Keys told about in ancient lore
The first key hidden in a lake
The hero placed his life at stake
A dangerous journey did he undertake
The second key found in a temple
Monster-ridden, yet his strength was ample
But that danger faced was only a sample
The third key locked up underground
After not too long was it found
The hero made it safe and sound
The last key frozen way up high
Once he got up, he let out a grateful sigh
There it was, and he managed not to die
But one thing he had to do before
Opening that accursed door
Rid his land of the darkness it bore
He fought until it went away
From his path he never did stray
"It's for us all," he would say
The hero then ventured to the door
He would unlock with the four
And destroy darkness at its very core
Back to back they stand
One gave up all for his land
Rid all darkness with tired hand
Hero turned around
Shocked by what he found
Then they fought on darkened ground
For awhile did the darkness last
Both were quick, agile, and fast
Then the final strike was passed
The hero looked at his enemy slain
The one who was his ultimate bane
So much knowledge the hero was happy to gain
Finally the hero understood
Why he had done all he could
It was because no one else would
