Come everybody,
now hear my story
of friendships so close
in the darkest of nights.
A friendship so close,
like the bond between brothers.
When one life was given,
willingly.
The other was lost in despair.
It was all out of spite.
Wasn't it,
right?
Training the boy;
your enemy's son.
When one foe defeated,
he would be next.
Though in the end
you gave it all up;
his life or yours?
It was hardly a choice.
Hero's best friend,
brave in his own.
This foe was much more
than he could handle.
A cruel mockery
caused his demise.
His untimely demise
caused a legend to rise.
Thirteen years in a nightmare,
is a long time to live.
Only those two,
the last ones remaining.
Son of the pauper
and son of the prince.
A struggle to become
legendary.
In the end one had to fall
for the other to rise.
What unusual friendship
we're witnessing now;
Earth's greatest hero
friends with the monster.
Did he really see
what no one else could?
That beneath all the evil
was a little lost child.
How ironic it was
that this strangest friendship
played such a role
in causing true evil.
Two young boys,
best friends forever.
They never cared
for their fathers' rivalry.
When darkness covered
the world once again.
They took up the fighting,
as brave as grown men.
Together they fought,
together they fell.
This was my story
of friendships so close,
all of them somehow
causing light in the dark.
