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.
