I am a huge fan of Archer and Just find his back story so tragic and to find out he was Shirou was even more surprising. He may have been a jackass and all but I just find him a really hard character to hate in the end and I felt he deserved more. But he was a cool servant and his chant is awesome. I don't own the characters.
Never once
Have I not regret my choice
Binding myself to the world
Never being able to live in peace.
More the sake of many others
I sacrificed my own future
To repay the hell I emerged from
At the price of the lives of others.
What is this?
I never felt this much regret
To kill more than save
Isn't this not the purpose I sought for?
Never have this hands saved more than kill
Until the day came I too was killed
Betrayed by those who sought me out
I was hung the way a criminal was.
As I stared at the sky
Regret filled my heart
If I could get rid of myself
I would do so to end this cycle.
Then the grail called out to me
Beckoning me to be a part of it
Fighting in a war for a single wish
Where I could finally get it over with.
Sitting in the throne of heroes of many years past
Finally someone called out my name
Never would I expect to see her again
Rin Tohsaka, my new master and old friend.
Seeing her made me want to smile
But for her sake I cannot tell her
Weaving a lie to protect her
I sought out to fulfill my wish.
Even at the end I lost the battle
My old self defeating me at last
Wondering where I had gone wrong
I sacrificed myself so he may live.
At the last battle where all would have been lost
I appeared once again to help them out
Letting my arrow soar through the sky
It pierced the body of the one who lied.
In the end I was finally free
Even though I would not exist anymore
I would remain in people's hearts
Hopefully to the end of time.
Don't cry Rin
You make me feel guilty now
Go live your life with Emiya Shirou
Don't make him regret what he ever did.
Now I shall return to the throne of heroes
A defeated hero whose wish can never be fulfilled
Wandering the plains of dirt and dust
Never able to live in peace.
As I stared at the sky
I wanted to smile at my twisted fate
My Noble Phantasm really mirrors my image
So I shall chant it once again.
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body
And fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
But these hands shall never hold anything
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Unknown to death
Nor known to life
And this I pray
Unlimited blade works!
Hope you guys enjoyed this poem and until next time, ave atque vale sayonara!
