Everytime I think of Zeno, I think of how the poor guy had to go through so many years alone without being able to stay with them. Sad... but at least now he had Yona and the others. I watched the OVA late at night thinking meh, it would be a light watch and then I ended up wanting to bawl my eyes out when it turned out to be about Zeno's life. AHHHHH!

I don't own the characters.

When gold first

Flooded my vision

I made a promise

One that would be my curse.

As I fought with my dragon brothers

I knew even then I was different from the others

I would never die no matter how many times

Sword and arrow pierced my body.

This was frightening

But satisfying just the same

That I would be able to protect my king

Whose red hair called out to me.

Then the day came

When he wilted and died

All of us now found

That we had no more of a life.

As my dragon brothers departed for the world

I stayed behind at the palace

To make sure the young king rules properly

And to protect his father's legacy.

Even as the years went by

I never aged even a day

Even though I tried to many times

I would never die until the end of time.

Finally, I left

And roamed the earth

Knowing that I have all

The time in the world.

I met a young lady

Whom I fell in love

Although frail and sickly

I took her as my bride.

Even as she lay dying

She smiled with her lovely eyes

Telling me we will meet in the heavens

Although I knew that would never happen.

I always tried to speak my name

Afraid I would forever forget it

As I wandered over hundreds of years

I wondered if I would ever be granted peace.

Then I saw the light in the sky

Signaling the birth of a new king

One that would have flaming red hair

Rising to bring in a new peace.

As I visited my dragon brothers

I felt my heart shatter with sorrow

To see how the great had been oppressed and fallen

For powers given out of this world.

I wept for the child in the mask

Who was never able to see the light

Out of the fear that his eyes would bring

Death to those who look at him.

I woe for the child who was chained to the earth

Even though he was meant for the sky

If his predecessor could have seen him now

He would have wept at what they have done.

The white dragon was a curious one

Young and bright with three long scars

A legacy of the white dragon he wished to protect

Even though they scarred his back.

One day I promised my brothers

That I would one day meet them again

Even though you may be the new generation

You're still my brothers in blood.

As we set off into the world

Knowing what lay before us

I prayed to the gods of the blessing they gave me

For now I could serve a new reborn king.
