Hey, so I had to write a poem for my creative writing class and it had to be sad. I couldn't get LOTS out of my head so I wrote one for it. It's based more on the books than the series but you can still see some of the series in it. I have to warn you now that it does end completely depressing but *SPOILER ALERT* That is not how their story ends *SPOILER OVER* (Not sure if that is a spoiler but don't want to ruin it for you anyway...) So yeah...here you go...
The Dangers of Quests
They sent her out to find the pair
The two who could their lives repair
The first the one to make the selection
The second to make the correction
****
She searched for them in the strange land
That no one but the residents had seen first hand
The tyrant though had sent his men
She thought for sure she was done in
***
Then she was rescued by him
The one, without whom, they could not win
She stared at him in surprise
And lost herself in piercing grey eyes
***
He, himself, was in a daze
By her deep, intelligent green gaze
Her beauty took his breath away
And he couldn't help but stay
***
She watched him with curiosity
He met her gaze with none of the accustomed animosity
Her safety became his dearest ambition
His only priority on this mission
***
The old man had named him defender
And to her he was naught but tender
She swore to protect him with her life
He vowed, for her, to end this strife
***
The old man told him it could never be
That though he loved her he should set her free
The young man could not bear the thought
That he could not be with the girl he sought
***
They traveled to far away
Were a seer told her she would betray
She cried and begged for him to end
Stating she could not kill her only friend
***
His heart could not even envision
Making that awful heartrending decision
She tried to do it herself
For she could not deny the love she felt
***
He tried everything to keep her alive
Waiting for her will to live to be revived
He bound her hands and hid her knife
She could not be allowed to end her life
***
Tired and weary he at last admitted defeat
And angrily he called her weak
He released her with callous scorn
And was unsympathetic to the tears she'd worn
***
He fell into a deep and uneasy rest
He knew no longer if he could pass the test
Quietly she watched him from nearby
She had kept him safe while he had cried
***
She stayed by his side
She knew not, now, if it was better if she lived or died
He woke to see her near at hand
Why she had stayed he could not understand
***
He watched her warily
Sure she was only back temporarily
She would not meet his gaze
Though he watched her slightly dazed
***
She asked if he wished the return of his guide
His happiness he could not hide
The green eyed girl watched him guarded
She told him he needed to know why she was regarded
***
He saw fear spark to life
And his unease was brought to light
She began to tell him of magic
And of her life which was sadly tragic
***
He listened to her story well
For he could sense the danger it be spelled
She told him of her birthright
And their very precarious plight
***
She told him of the power
And how it could a man devour
She told him of the unending devotion
And of the most feared emotion
***
She told him of the long line
And how she wished she could resign
The worst of what she told him though
Was one that was a crushing blow
***
She could not be with her love
Though through no fault of his thereof
She simply could not bear to see him taken
He felt as if by the whole world forsaken
***
She cried in earnest and with him pled
That if he wished she would leave so he may feel no dread
She said that it was something she'd dealt with everyday
And though he was heartbroken he could not send her away
***
He inquired whether they could still be friends
She nodded but said that was where the bond ends
He turned and gathered her in a soft embrace
Thought her solemn words he could not erase
***
He watched her with somber eyes
He could not have his long sought prize
He told her he needed her by his side
And he knew what she would decide
***
He had thought this would be the start
He had fully lost his heart
He had thought that fate was on his side
He found out fate had cruelly lied
Like I said...depressing! I thought about continuing it but it was just a good place to end....It's awkward if you add the happy ending. Lol. Besides mine always end happy...I have to expand a little..lol. Read and Review!
