Family Matters

I lived my life in the dark

Not knowing the name of my sire,

I travelled with a friendly man

Unaware he was my brother.

We fought together, beat the foe,

But they had planned a surprise:

The foe attacked and then stole him

Right before my very eyes.

I thought him dead, I mourned for him,

But little did I know

That he was learning of things dark,

And would become the foe.

I travelled far, I learnt some things

That would increase me power,

And far away, my cousin was

Coming closer by the hour.

The hour came, and war broke out,

And I was reunited

With my cousin and brother both—

But now, we were divided.

For my brother had become the foe

I fought so war could be won.

But he revealed a secret: that

I was his father's son.

I saw my cousin, he had changed,

And was seeking revenge.

I promised I would help him and

I'd fight until the end.
