I look upon this world of man Stuck in a tide of hate,
Left only to sing my song of sorrow and pain.
My heart I gave to you in hopes to become one.
Left only to see another take what you gave me.
The treachery of one, becomes my soul hate
My heart shattered by times release, healed also by the same deceit.
A heart like mine hidden by the need to protect.
A heart that has seen all mine has
Left to suffer as I have
Left to see pain similar to mine
Walking the world of an immortal
Past the edge of time and death.
Knowing that memories are the strongest.
I see many fall to a king that claims great things.
I see my destiny become greater as I go.
So many dead and my face staring back at me.
The lives of many on stained hands not meant to be
This pain my deceit, my heart cant take what my mind has portrayed
So I move on discarding all that has made me human to become what I truly am
A heart like mine hidden by the need to protect.
A heart that has seen all mine has
Left to suffer as I have
Left to see pain similar to mine
Walking the world of an immortal
Past the edge of time and death.
Knowing that memories are the strongest.
As he stood in my window staring at me I knew what was meant to be.
Leaving behind all was easy, becoming more my new task
This is my challenge my trial, the thing I must defeat
I have killed my deceit my hunger to fit in, in favor of one like me
One who will love and not lie, left to wonder the world of immortals
Side by side we will stride, left alone no more.
A heart like mine hidden by the need to protect me.
Title: Need to protect
Artist: me
Forever
The wind glazed past the tree's a shadow wondered the world where man dare not tried. I however was foolish I walked right into threat shadow, through it I became lost, I know now my mistake. So I plead for help, these shadows will consume me if I don't try something so I call out and pray.
Prologue: Lost to time
The girl looked at the mountain knowing that she alone was to survive. The others were already being brayed and choking on the dust some succumbing to the heat but her a gladiator running before the lava flow. Always staying a foot ahead of tows doomed to become the earth for their sins.
She ran to the waters edge and cast herself in knowing that the water is the only thing that will save her. The one who promised to marry her threw it away for the princess who had him killed after the wedding. As she sank she wanted the water to take her and send her wherever it wiled.
She wanted Poseidon to decide where her fate was to be, the one named after a Greek goddess, one who lived her whole life under the name Athena, prayed to one who she thought was her brother to comfort her, save her. And that's exactly what happened.
She woke up and found herself on a plush bed there were voices. She looked onward trying to find the source. There was someone arguing with another she closed her eyes once more, waiting for when her rescuer will be there fore her to thank.

"Uhh ok I still don't get it." Mushrambo looked towards Sago who just shrugged, Kutal and Sago found themselves stuck in the hyper forums within time, as for Mushra well he kind of became Mushrambo, without Sago or Kutal. If there was any doubt that the two were the same it was successfully diminished.
"So I take it you got rid of the scoter…"
"I have wing's I can just fly where I need to, besides that old thing was quite slow." Mushra couldn't believe what he was hearing, Sago getting rid of something that was like a precious item to him
"Wow we really have changed I don't recognize you anymore, first you rescue that girl from the river, and now you are getting rid of the pink scoter."
"What was it like growing out of me or something, and it wasn't pink…. It was light red" everyone was laughing except the girl in question, ya the one who supposedly was saved by Sago. The girls completion wasn't bad, she had smooth skin with the exception of the scars. Her hair was well kept a lovely silky texture. The hues weren't bad eater, black with deep blue highlights she seemed very quiet. While everyone was laughing Sago noticed that his 'houseguest' was staring out the window. He managed to sneak away from the group and walked right behind her. "whatcha looking at?"
Sago had to be quick to avoid the fist that was almost slammed into his face, apparently sneaking up behind her was a bad idea. "er… sorry I'm not use to the male visitor being of the decent verity or the noble one to say the least." She put her hand down and continued to gaze out the window.
"It's ok, I didn't think I was going to startle you that much." He sat on the bed beside his guest; after all it was rude to ignore your guest's.
"I was looking at the ocean… or lack there of." She looked kind lonely staring yet it seemed almost as if it was bittersweet to her.
"Have you ever seen the forest before?"
"Yes… but I didn't have time to really enjoy it." He decided not to pry further. She didn't look like she wanted to talk about it.
"What's you name?"
"You first!" he could tell she wanted to play a game with him.
"Sago."
"Athena."
"You're kidding?"
"Nope." Sure enough she was serious her grin never leaving her face, there was a reason behind her appearance. Last person to pop up from a time before there's was Yakumo, and she helped them realize there true power. Rumor has it Mushra married her truth was it was a little worse.
Sago figured it was only a mater of time before something happened storms came and went. Peace never lasts. "We must seem like quite the odd couple."
"Why do you say that?" she turned towards him and he noticed that her eyes were a very beautiful dark chocolate brown. He kind of liked the way she looked, pâté yet strong, she held herself like a warrior. Few women did that ever.
"uh, in case you haven't noticed I don't exactly look human."
"I'm use to deformities. I have seen quite a lot. You oddly enough, were not a big surprise.
"I'm not sure rather too be offended or humored."
"I KNEW IT." The voice of Mushrambo could be heard in a mocking tone. Athena laughed as Sago glared in the general direction of his comrade. "I must admit, this is the longest ever you were able to resist flirting with a woman."
"Your one to talk what would Yakumo think."
"You leave her out of this fish boy!"
"Fish?" questioned Athena, "he looks more like a dragon."
Sago and Mushra just stared at her, alone she had managed to burn each of them in one sentence.
"She's got a point…" said Mushra. "You do have a large fondness for shiny objects."
"Mushra? Responded Sago,"
"Err."
"Shut up!"
Athena laughed as they continued to bicker amidst each other. She sighed and went back to looking out the window the world she left was not the world she was now in, there was no doubt that things were never going to be the same. For once she truly felt as if her life didn't depend on how good of a show she could put on before killing her opponent.
Things were vile in Pompeii, there was no true since of justice. Corruption ruled every crack of the world, there was little that could be done. "Pompeii has fallen to its own corruption, I'm just glad I no longer have to fight without a reasonable cause."
Sago and Mushra stopped arguing to listen to the strange girl Pompeii hasn't existed for over thousands of years, this girl wasn't like Yakumo, she was from a time that was ancient when Yakumo was younger. Sago gave a huff and plopped down next to Athena this caused her to giggle a bit. Mushra just grunted and left the 'lovers' to themselves.
"Hay Sago, you up for a little walk, I haven't been in the forest before, I want to see what it's like." This caught the attention of the winged sea creator as he smiled a bit, it was good to see she was getting well enough to want to roam around.
