Take a Leap

It's been a long time,

25 years in fact,

You're far from past your prime,

And that can be backed.


We've met familiar faces,

And each one we can recall.

We've been to many places,

With spectacles that enthrall.


I clearly remember Hector, Eliwood and Lyn,

Roy, Marcus and the Sacaen Shin.

Sigurd and Oifey, what a pair,

Celica and Leif can't even compare.


Eirika, Ephraim and Seth, oh my!

Ike, Michaiah and Mordecai.

Cain, Abel, Jagen and Marth,

Chrom, Robin and… "Marth"


Who can forget the lands we traversed?

And jumping into a mission headfirst?

We've been to Altea, Tellius, Jugdral,

Elibe and the underrated Magvel.


The stories we tell,

Are etched in stone.

And each farewell,

Make our emotions known.


Look at the door,

It's open for you.

If you seek more,

You know what to do.


Pull on the knob,

Take a step in,

It's now your job,

To save other's skin.


You're the tactician,

And each person a pawn,

It's your mission,

To put brain behind brawn.


But you must take a leap,

Before you can go,

These memories you'll keep,

And your heart will know.

That you made the right choice.


/Author's Note/ This is in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of Fire Emblem. I hope you enjoyed. Also, this is dedicated to anyone who has just played one game (specifically Awakening). There is a vast world of titles out there for you to play, so do it. Don't let the difficulty hold you down, the payoff is worth it.
