Those Four (Re-write)

by Morriarchi

To each of my friends, to each my foes. And so I will say to Those Four so; to my Wind, my Fire, my Water, and my dearest Earth. Let your journey rest, hide from your foes. Return to what you were, and what you are once more. For each of you... (Continued inside) (Based off of the Minish Cap and Four Swords)

For each of you, I hope the best.
For each of you, my dearest ones.
For each of you, my strengths.
For each of you, my faults.

My dearest Wind; my confidence, my compassion.
Be always strong, and always lead.
For you guide others like wind on the sea.
And so I beg, always be right.

My dearest Fire; my kindness, my love.
Always be warm, and help the others.
For you are the healing, like fire on a wound.
And so I say, always be sweet.

My dearest Water; my strength, my protector.
Always be confident, and always fierce.
For you protect them, like all the water of the world.
And so I ask, always be strong.

My dearest Earth; my calm, my watcher.
Always be silent, and always knowing.
For you keep them at bay, like the earth to the world.
And so I beg, always be wise.

But each of you, even so dear,
You are each my strengths,
And each my death.

My Wind, you fool; to trusting to admit.
Your wrongs haunt you.
For wind can cause hurricanes, and destruction.

My Fire, you coward; to kind to hurt.
Your failures sadden you.
For fire can burn too bright, and burn all.

My Water, you idiot; to brash to know.
Your battles have scarred you.
For water can flood, and kill all.

My Earth, you traitor; to blind to see.
Your choices are wrong.
For the earth can shake, its cries will destroy itself.

You are my strengths, and my weaknesses.
And you will be my down fall.

...

And you, my Shadow.
So lonely, so sad.
My Wind, Fire, and Water reject you.
And only in my Earth, do you find rest.

And so I plead, always trust that traitor.
