Death of a Reader
-by Kokiri 7656
I wish I had a good Bible quote to open this, just like Post Rapture, but I don't.
Author's note: I am not suicidal. By no means is this meant to disrespect Post Rapture. He is my favorite author and began my love for the Kokiri, especially Saria. In fact, this is inspired by "Death of a Writer". Like Post did in "Death of a Writer", I'm just expressing some of the things I hate about myself right now. The thing I hate most about myself right now is my impatience.
Return of the Deku Key
Come this way
I have a gift for you
It was given to one
But it wasn't done
Until it gave a new view
For all that wish to see
Come this way
To receive a prize
That will open their eyes
Into the world of those like me
It is the precious Deku Key
It will unlock your mind
And allow you to find
The various works of most
Which include Doom, Ides, and especially Post
You shall have this key
And use this key
So as to unlock and reveal
A world you wish were real
But you know can never be
This is the Deku Key
You can use it to escape
You will wonder and think
See creatures of all size and shape
And fly just like Link
Just open the lock
And you will see an enormous page
You can imagine my awe and shock
When I read the story of the Forest Sage
But who wrote of this young missy
Her youth and innocence captured
Who wrote of the one Link called Sissy
It was the one and only Post Rapture
So for those who write and cannot see
Here is the gift of the Deku Key
A Cold April Shower
It was a cold April shower
When I hit a random site
When I was struck by an impact and power
And an emotional might
I read of a Kokiri girl
Who risked her life
To step into a new world
Of pain and strife
Hyrule was the place
A land that was ever so vast
But with the disease of the Kokiri race
She knew she couldn't last
She went to find the hero
To help her friends
But her efforts led to zero
When her suffering ends
But it wasn't all a failure and bother
For Saria found the love of the Almighty Father
I was a normal person the day before
My life was normal to the core
But when I read this, I felt like a pawn
For I found myself reading at the crack of dawn
I saw the antics of the Kokiri kids
The bickering of the Kokiri kids
The innocence of the Kokiri kids
The peace of the Kokiri kids
And it could be seen
That I fell in love with the kids in green
When I saw Mido, Miso, Sofa, Somi, Fala, Rala, Ralo, Fala, Domi, Dila, Sodo, and Dore
I soon found myself asking for more
But I never forgot reading of Saria, the delicate flower
On that one cold April shower
The Thirst for More
I cried tears of joy
When I saw the ending with Saria and her "mother"
I was a content young boy
But I admit I needed another
Then my imagination had set all sails
When I saw a story called "Kokiri Tales"
The Shimmering Emerald was all alone
To life the rest of her days
Guarding the Forest Temple zone
The life of a Sage, it's bad in so many ways
She gave herself to help her Link
And to be stuck alone must really stink
But suddenly she heard a sound she swore was a ghost
But 'twas no phantom, just a man called Post
Saria had craved so much for a friend
She wanted her loneliness to come to an end
The man Post, for her he felt sorry
He decided he would listen when she told him a story
A story in which Saria couldn't believe what she was seeing
It was something that would surely flip a lid
It was a sentient being
A red creature called a Skull Kid
And she recalled of her friends, which to her was a family
And cried over how she was forced to part unhappily
The last I saw of the Shimmering Emerald, she was crying
These were not tears of joy in the rain
No, there was no denying
That Saria was crying tears of pain
I thought that I would see Post
Do what Saria desired the most
And find out if the village was still breathing
But what I saw had me seething
What I and she wanted, we did not get
For Kokiri Tales 4 was not done yet
Death of a Reader
I should have stayed out of the site
I should have never began
The pain of not knowing does bite
It was not part of my plan
But what's done is done
And it's too late
I was the one
Who chose Kokiri Tales on that date
I wish Saria were not sad
But it is something not to be had
I was saddened and could not keep my chin up
For it appeared that Post Rapture had given up
He believes his audience is gone, but wait
That is not true
Not now or at any rate
I will always stick by him like glue
I will always keep reading
I just hope his mind and talent can keep feeding
Conclusion of 3
It was then that I had the full grasp of who Saria really was
(Oh God, how sad)
Simply a lonely little girl, rejected by the elements and hidden from the populous
(Does she really have to suffer like this?)
And in all of such weakness, she was a broken elder
(I wish she knew what happened to her friends)
A veteran of pain, and a wise relic of agony
(I hope Sodo is still breathing)
A lonely soul, Saria was, who had long missed the beautiful warmth of youth
(::cries:: I can't stand it)
Facing only the sunset, she longed for the past
(I wish she had it back)
The time when, all that ever mattered was the nonsensical light
(An innocent like her shouldn't suffer like that)
The fiery rays of a bright and rising dawn
(Maybe part 4 will bring her happi…wait…there is no part 4)
Silence
……………..NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT CAN'T END LIKE THAT!
THE FREAKIN' STORY NEEDS ANOTHER CHAPTER!
WHY DOES POST RAPTURE FEEL THIS WAY?!
HAS HE NO FAITH IN HIS TALENT?!
WHY DOES HE FEEL THAT NO ONE CARES?!
OK, WHO CARES IF SARIA LIVES ALONE THE REST OF HER LIFE?!
WHO CARES WHAT HAPPENED IN HER PAST?!
WHO CARES WHETHER THE KOKIRI VILLAGE WAS EXTERMINATED OR NOT?!
I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'VE CARED EVER SINCE I FIRST READ THE FIRST STORY!
THIS STUPID DEKU KEY!
IT IS TO BLAME!
I NEVER WOULD'VE CARED THIS MUCH!
IF WASN'T FOR THIS STUPID DEKU KEY!
Was that me?
Did
I
Just
Blow
Up
Like
That?
Is
It
The
Real
Kokiri7656?
Is
It
The
Frustration
Of
Months
Of
Wait?
Or
Is
It
That
I've
Been
Up
All
Night
Writing
This?
I
Am
Sorry
For
What
I
Am.
I'm
Just
A
Reader.
An
Impatient
Reader
End
Maybe I was meant to see
The story of the Shimmering Emerald
For it has impacted my life
In ways you will never know
But without an ending to see
What use is there for a Deku Key?
I must know what happens to Saria
I must read and see her
So that I may not fear
