A person with prowness; a person strong enough to persevere,
Even if the opposition is impossibly severe.
These people, must someday look back and embrace or shun,
The mighty, seemingly mythic Duelist they have become.

And then realize, that being a Duelist has a terrible cost.
Being such a person means leaving who you are, along with your dreams.
Being a Duelist isn't all its cut out to be, it seems.

You miss who you were, that child who took up a simple card game.
And soon, you were swept away by Dueling Monsters and fame.
You now long for before, that time before there were cards.
Now those gone times are nothing but glittering shards.
