Arrowhead Boy
The arrowhead boy stands beneath the Autumn Moon
His childish smile darkened, his face pale and still
His eyes glowing blue with the shadows of the night
And his hands gripping on the staff that holds him there
The young girl leans against the cliff
Her face is damp, her spirits drenched
The ocean-blue eyes look towards the west
Towards the west of the arrowhead boy.
Water, Air, Earth, Fire
The elements he shall conspire
Seem lost within his grasp, his touch,
And so they are, for the arrowhead boy
His face is cold, his heart frozen
As he stands under the twilight moon
And takes his fate without a word
For the light of the world should not perish so soon.
As the girl watches the clouds pass o'er the moon
She sees a dark figure, looming over the mountain
A boy, his shadow lost in the earth
And air uniting him with the world
She sees the spirits of the undead land,
The colors of the wind bursting into life
As the arrowhead boy settles down to the ground
The air bursting into flame, water, and life.
The minutes pass, and days go by
But the arrowhead boy still stands, unwearied under the sun
The powers he possess are too great for mankind
And so he must wait, for a sign to arrive
So he may fulfill his destiny one day
To live a life of hope and trust
To conquer his enemies, to ally his friends
And unite the four nations and end the hate.
And so the girl wanders back to her village one day
Telling stories about him, yet hoping he would arrive to the world, one day
And until then, her eyes still that misty blue,
Face the west, to the arrowhead boy.
