Loyalty

My master is on a quest

To revive the girl he loved

I watch as he climbs

Up the cliffs above

He's going to fight another of those beasts

To fulfill his deal

Dormin will revive the girl

If my master breaks the seal

I do not trust Dormin

It gives a feeling I can barely stand

It's a feeling that I have had

Since I entered this cursed land

I could have refused to enter

But my master needed me so

He trusts me and I trust him

So I go where he goes

Together we have traveled

As he rode on my back

And we have faced many obstacles

As they began to stack

I have seen some of the creatures

When my master needed me

Like when he faced the big-eyed one

From the underground sand sea

My instincts often tell me

To run far away

But if my master calls me

By his side I will stay

When my master slays one of the creatures

The darkness takes him away

But I always sense him back at the temple

When he awakes the next day

The bond I have with my master is deep

My destiny is tied with that man

So I try to help him

As much as I possibly can

If only I was a human

Instead of a mere horse

Then I could do more to help him

And I could talk to him, of course

But you can't change what you are

It's a fact I cannot change

Yet, I still found ways to help him

As much as I could possibly manage

That is why I threw

My master from my back

As the bridge below my feet

Shattered from the cracks

But I was unable to save myself

It was much too late

I could only neigh

As I fell down to my fate

I don't know I survived

By all rights, I should be dead

But I'm still alive somehow

And suffer from a broken leg

I manage to get up

Despite my great pain

And now I am limping

Across the vast plain

I must go to the temple

I must meet my master there

But I feel something strange

Stirring in the air

My senses are telling me

Something is very wrong

But despite my instincts

My loyalty pulls me along

With each painful step I take

I feel a dark energy swirl

But if anything happens to my master

I vow I will watch over the girl
