GROWLANSER II SPOILERS.
This is a poem I wrote in my last 'Growlanser phase' recounting several prominent memories of Wein Cruz and Max Schneider. Growlanser is such an underappreciated series, especially here in the U.S. It doesn't have much fan art, and I presume not much fan fiction, so I wanted to help it Grow[lanser].
Okay, okay. Shoot me now for even coming up with such a lame, corny pun. Gomen.
I own diddly-squat.
"Remembering"
Remembering our meeting
When we fought together
Taking the victory from
Our opponents hand.
Remembering.
Remembering the friendship
We used to share
And all of the burdens
Together we'd bear.
Remembering.
Remembering the overlook
All those happy memories
My orcania; your dreams of peace
Our 'philosophical discussions.'
Remembering.
Remembering our parting
Imperial Knight on my mind
You, the minister; pacifist;
Peace on your own.
Remembering.
Remembering the dam
When we each thought the other
Had started a war
Filled with anger and betrayal.
Remembering.
Remembering your treason
Peace was all you wanted
But you took it too far
There is always a better way.
Remembering.
Remembering the pain
I thought we were friends
Still, we fought for the world
And after, I thought you were gone.
Remembering.
Remembering the overlook
All those bittersweet memories
The gem you gave me so long ago
The song I played in return.
Remembering.
Remembering my surprise
To find you alive
Back to your senses
But now unable to stay.
Remembering.
Remembering those things now
I look back and smile
My girl at my side
I look forward to seeing you again-
Not just remembering.
Yes, yes, another authors note. Wasting time is fun.
Anyways, '[Wein's] girl' is Arieta. I figured I should clear that up instead of keeping some people from sleeping. -- JK.
