NOTE: This poem isn't about any existing fanfictions. It's just about a MapleStory epic adventure fanfiction that I wanted to write a long time ago but couldn't due to lack of talent. The typical MapleStory adventure I put together. It's not really much of a poem, kinda drabble-ish...idk...but it's sort of poem-ish...idk. Inspiration taken from bits and pieces of various MapleStory fanfictions, parts that I found were used in more than one action Maple fic. And cool epic movies that you'll see in theaters too, of course. This is different from my other poem 'Weight of the World', and unfortunately it doesn't rhyme.
Inspired by Absol Master's poetry and various MapleStory fanfictions, mainly The Lone Crusader by Master and Chief and Arbiter. Don't compare my writing to theirs, pl0x. REVIEW MENTIONED FANFICS OR ELSE!!
(In a note I did for my other story, I said I wouldn't write anything related to romance. This has a few romance-related lines in it, but it's barely anything, so don't expect lines about steamy scenes in bed.)
THE DARK CAN NEVER WIN
Randomness from Boredom's MapleStory Adventure
BY MEEEE!!
He makes his way from the life of an ordinary child,
Growing up, making friends, gaining new experience.
Life is nothing but the most common tale, dreary to the mind,
No turns, no drops, nor heavy sorrows to stir tears and thoughts.
-
Ascending necromancers cast their black spells,
And prideful towns collapse to dirty ruins under siege.
Necromancy is a black angel that spreads its wings;
Shadows fall and voices rage in their vicious battle cries.
The world becomes as doomed as the fate of this future hero and his new love,
For oceans unwillingly do grow between the young girl and him,
And to swim in those ice-cold waters would only give strife.
Love's sweetness gone, only a light to shine from above.
Just save her, save her from this coldness too bitter for her sweet beauty.
-
Bravely, confidently, he looks up to the sky and picks up his blade,
Eyes burning with a fire like never before.
Charging into battle by the side of comrades,
Looking for what matters the most in this adventure tale:
Liberation. Victory. Save her from the lost and damned.
Can he even save the world?
-
There's no wistful glancing back at the other grievances of the past.
His rugged road goes on for all he must be,
Through the dangerous, winding paths of adventure and battle,
Sometimes down to the pits of near-death, down to the darkness.
But with each step of the way the light grows brighter.
Brighter…
Clearer…
Illuminate the way in this arcane labyrinth of life
As it twists and turns into revelations of the dark and light.
-
Both sides fight. The hero only grows stronger through this harshness,
New powers learned, the strength of the divine through his blade,
Each bit of pain and joy takes taking their toll;
Hope becomes only a fading light.
Yet he knows...
He must have faith and tell himself...
The dark can never win.
-
Ok, I hope you liked it...but I shouldn't hope. Lawl. Er...I want to talk about something semi-important: MY POLL ON WHAT YOU GUYS THOUGHT I SHOULD WRITE!!
This is what some people voted for, in order of most voted to least.
Lots and lots of action, however, not too graphic: Yes, I will DEFINATELY DO THIS!! BUT YOU BETTER GIVE ME REVIEWS OR ELSE!!
How about a mystery? Erm, sorry, no, I can't write mystery. I can't. 100 percent sure I can't. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Comedy! YES!! Well, I'll try to, at least. Don't know if I'll be successful, but I'LL TRY! Well, if you want more funny stuff then SCROLL DOWN.
Steamy scenes in bed: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't think I'll be able to write romance good enough to get emotional enough for this. (By the way, steamy scene in bed to me is just 2-3 romantic, strongly emotional sentences of non-graphic stuff, no nasty purposes please.) I don't like writing romance. I'm too babyish to write emotional romantic stuff.
Something with ghosts in it: YESSSS!! YOU CAN BET ON IT!!
Romance: See above.
Put me in your fanfiction. So you'll write about me: Maybe, but I don't know who put that. If whoever did says so, I might.
A fanfiction about following the prophecy and saving the world: Didn't I already do that in my fanfic 'Weight of the World'?
And look at something else I thought of:
TOP THREE WAYS TO BE CREATIVE AND BE TALENTED IN MAPLESTORY FANFICTION:
(not meant to be advice and done for fun, just something I made from what I've seen. but you could try.)
3. Make LONG chapters. (OMG THAT CHAPTER WAS 1384633264353 WORDS LONG BUT IT WAS SO AWESOME I DROOLED ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD AND MY EYES ARE FALLING OUT BUT I DON'T CARE!! UPDATE PL0X!!)
2. Make original attacks, or even more, original weapons. ("Random Blaster!" the necromancer shouted, waving his Randomness from Boredom wand, which was just a plain wooden branch snapped off a tree with 100-foot pink girly ribbons taped to it. The ribbons were constantly ran over by green snails, but the necromancer didn't care.)
1. Make your own language and say it's the language of another species. ("Gwinzadiy strona kerto haiiken la glowrna faidyle ashiriien BGWKJGFLAGYGFAYKYGFAHDJLKAHF:LSAASAJKDFHSJKFHLSJKHAJHFS!! BAWK BAWK BAWK!!" screamed the dwarf man who was about to be blown up because someone had strapped a bomb to him. "That means 'death to all who have tried to kill me or take my mezarz', and I couldn't understand the rest," translated the person who had strapped the bomb to the victim to the people who had gathered to watch the dwarf man be blown up.)
