The Rainbow-Haired Warrior Part 1:

Twist of Fate

He soars from the zenith of the ether

And lands with a crash on the ground below

He flies through the air, catching them unguarded

Dealing them a devastating blow

His hair is trailing, following his path

Like the shooting stars of the cosmos

The colors meld, twisting 'round his face

Dancing behind him as he goes

One after another he annihilates them

He demolishes all in his way

He keeps them down, they are no more

So ends another day…

He returns once more to fight the flood

And battles through the din

His rival falls in agony

To the whispers in the wind

His enemy is strong this time

It seems he's going to drown

Abruptly there's a twist of fate

His nemesis is down

The warrior has overcome

His overwhelming foe

He screams aloud and takes the leap

And spirals to the floor

With bone-crushing intensity

He lands upon the fiend,

Three stout blows; he's overcome

This minion of the deep…

Now every day that passes by

The warrior prevails

His lengthy locks wave zealously

Like multicolored tails

But then one day a spear is thrown

It lands deep in his gut

The warrior's been double-crossed

His eyes are squeezing shut

The pain he feels is prominent

'Tis etched upon his pate

He stands once more, defiant

Another twist of fate

But no, there's no escaping

He's assaulted from all sides

His friend is foe, his foe is fierce

He collapses from inside

His hair around him, in his eyes

He tries to make a stand

He vaults himself up high and far

His enemy nimble; he misses and lands

His fall from grace is heard afar

And then there is no sound

Three hard hits; the warrior

Lies lifeless on the ground

Far and wide the people cry

Then chimes a mournful bell

The people will remember the day

When the hardy warrior fell…
