SOREN'S REQUIEM

I'm a mage, you would say

I keep my emotions at bay

Sentimental objects would only get in my way.

Others tell me

That my tactfulness with words isn't exactly friendly

I may be blunt and honest

But sweetening a sentence doesn't make hte meaning nicer.

I'm the tactitian for a mercenary group

Be that as it may,

My opinion seems to go against the others.

But no one would ever guess,

These sub-humans I detest,

Are actually a vital part of me?

The blood that flows inside of me.

There's no place for me,

A branded freak

In a cold, uncaring, society.

No light of hope

No helping hand

Just prejudice and darkness...that continues to expand...

-----------------------------------------------------------

The cries of war have brought my mercenary group into the picture

Greil, a commander, fell very soon after.

Ike, his son, ascends to the position of master.

My skill was needed to guide us in the ruins of Crimea

This 'family' provided me,

with the power to gain victory.

I just hope that I'm not...fooling myself

These friends are real...right?

----------------------------------

This place, this time,

reminds me of past times.

To think that I,

A mage of superior skill,

was brought up by an old hag that wanted me gone.

The mark upon me, of the branded

confused with a spirit charmer.

The older Sage, who needed a successor,

took me under his wing and provided me with my magical skill.

He died a while thereafter.

A starving, half-breed child,

who could read and write but not speak to save his life.

Surviving all of this strife...

-----------------------------

Then the Greil mercenaries saved me from my dying plight

They picked me up and treated me right.

I soon learned to say my mind.

I was saved that night,

By a group small but might.

A family...

That wasn't really related to me...

Goddess Ashera, I thank you.

Now, help us win this fight!

Gah! I suck a poetry. But Soren's just the most kawaii and awesome thing evar! You can flame if you want to. I don't really care. It was my first try anyways. And, even though I really am not that good at this...I'm going to continue and use this for other Fire Emblem characters that I like. Ciao (BTW, I take requests for certain characters. They have to be from FE 8 or 9 though.)
