Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
Author's Note: As stated in the summary, this is my comeback fanfic. I've been out of commission for about a year, mainly due to my inability to upload fanfiction. However, I was recently able to upload and I decided to write a short poem-thing for my all-time favorite video game. Kick Heartless butt, Sora, you rock! (You too, Riku, Squall, Cloud!)
———
The pulse of a heart.
"Power sleeps within you."
A newborn cry.
"If you give it form…"
Eyes wide open, peering into your soul.
"It will give you strength."
A double-edged blade gleams in the firelight.
"The power of the warrior."
A ruby shines in the pommel and carvings grace the hilt.
"Invincible courage."
A swordsman with the strength of gods swings his blade to slay a foe.
"A sword of terrible destruction."
Lightning crackles, fire sizzles, and ice chills the blood.
"The power of the mystic."
Strange words chanted with clarity and force.
"Inner strength."
Bodies burned and blackened by a mage's word.
"A staff of wonder and ruin."
A shield used to protect.
"The power of the guardian."
A barrier that defends the weak and helpless.
"Kindness to aid friends."
Block the attack, then retaliate with a bone-crushing strike.
"A shield to repel all."
The strength of a warrior.
The power of a mystic.
The might of a guardian.
"Is this the form you choose?"Hands bound in white gloves grip the hilt of the sword.
Feathered fingers grasp the rich, carved wood of the staff.
A black, rail-thin arm slides into the buckles of the iron shield.
Whispered words escape their lips:
"Yes."
