When Heroes Fall

by Wildmage of Emelan

First chapter is a short poem written by me, called When Heroes Fall. The following chapters are going to be the most likely depressing stories of how the heroes of Tortall fall. Kel's chapter up!

1. When Heroes Fall

When heroes fall, they are mourned.

When heroes fall, they are missed.

When heroes fall, they are remembered.

When heroes fall, they are cried over.

Heroes are the ones who matter to many.

Heroes are the ones who set the example.

Heroes are the ones who changed lives.

Heroes are the ones who stood up.

When they fall, they leave behind memories.

When they fall, they leave behind pictures.

When they fall, they leave behind the ones they saved.

When they fall, they leave behind the ones they loved.

But heroes fall, no matter what is done.

But never shall the last hero fall.

For as long as there are people, there are heroes.

And as long as there are heroes, there is hope.

Hope for a better world.

Hope for a better life.

Hope for a better future.

Hope for everything good.

Maybe one day, you'll be a hero.
