Author's Note: I wrote this poem when I first the opening to Final Fantasy VIII. I thought it was one of the most brilliant opening sequences to and video game and I couldn't help but want to write about it.

Dance of Destiny By: Lady Ava

A face-off between the rivals came,

Their blades by side, their eyes aflame.

The spark of hate that which they bore,

For a final duel to settle the score.

One fatal strike, one single blow,

The crimson blood now starts to flow.

With one slash, a legend made,

Now a scar becomes engraved.

A petal soars on ocean waves,

Carrying upon it, a promise made.

A single vow that no one spoke,

To meet again, that promise broke.

A feather glides on fragrant breeze,

One chance meeting to let time freeze.

The waltz they shared seemed to entrance,

For it was that of destiny's dance.

A face-off between the rivals came,

Their blades by side, their eyes aflame.

A cry of rage before their fall,

One final strike to end it all.
