This is a fanfic that came into mind while listening to "All shall fade" from The Lord of the Rings.
Enjoy!
Home is behind
Red looked over his shoulder at the smouldering ruins of Pallet Town.
The world ahead
He looked in front of him at Route 1. Where he had stepped out into the outside world when he turned 11.
And there are many paths to tread
All the routes he had gone through and all the paths he had taken.
Through shadow
All the dark forests and creepy pathways.
To the edge of night
Now he stood in the midst of a battle.
Until the stars are all alight
He would not rest until all bad was defeated and the stars shone through the clouds.
Mist and shadow
Mist and shadow covered the battlefield, obscuring his vision.
Cloud and shade
He wished he could see how his friends were faring.
All shall fade
Someone in front of him fell backwards. Red caught the dead boy, identifying him though there were many gashes and burns. Green Oak.
All shall...
Red felt someone stick a knife into his gut. He gasped and fell. Everything turned black.
Fade
