And as 2010 draws to a close, and Christmas is near – I end this poem fic with Neah. He was known as the 14th for so long, but in Chapter 198, we finally know his name! I will be acknowledging my reviewers in the end note. Happy belated Birthday to Jasdevi, our favourite Noah twins! :D
'Tis disclaimed. Again. How many time do I have to disclaim it for you guys to understand that I DON'T OWN THIS MANGA! xD
Dark, dark was the world I was born in,
One world I should never have seen,
My existence seemed to be daunting,
Just because my number was fourteen.
My friend, my enemy, my bane,
His smile that is futile to erase,
To change his heart too quickly for a human,
But wait – neither are human in this case.
I grabbed my brother's hand, so comforting,
Entrusting his protection in another,
His life should have never be draw into this,
So I step out, not running for cover.
The attempt was in vain, did I ever stand a chance?
With one swipe, he end my life at that,
Was he so naïve to think my memories would end there?
I drifted towards my sibling, in the midst of combat.
As events unfolded, I was passed into a boy,
Sweet boy, with a tragedy wracked mind,
He walks forward, discarding the past,
How he plans to discard me – I won't be left behind.
He sees me! He enters my ivory domain,
Crying at the pianist's score, yet he plays,
Disaster is avoided, we were meant to work together,
Sadly, I will disease him, in the coming days.
What pain is this? I see the sword lodged against him,
He screams, begging the pain to stop, I will aid,
For I hold powers beyond their wildest dreams,
But not today – today I shall fade.
Oh, bane greets me – I smirk through him,
Sorry, boy, but I must make my point clear,
No more will the world suffer by the hands of the Earl,
I will kill the beast, tremble in fear!
My time is coming, and the boy is now aware,
I step to him, gentle grin caressing my face,
Such a mad puppet, choked by his own strings,
I looks to me in bewilderment, losing all grace.
I laugh softly as he mistakes me for another,
True, we are not that different, boy,
But, mark my words and mark them well,
My time has come, my time to destroy.
"The one who will destroy everything."
And that is it! Look out for 'Poems for the Generals' in 2011! (wow, it feels weird to type that…)
Thank you to my reviwers:
ElricLawliet – My worshipper! Any chance we could ever collaborate on a DGM fic?
mgsab123 – Your sweet analyses of each poem made my day, thank you!
Anonymous – My first reviewer for this story – thank you!
If I'm not asking for too much, could reviewers tell me which part of each poem they like the most? I want to know where I excelled in this xD Random, I know, but it helps!
Happy birthday to Allen in 3 days, and goodbye! ~ Tsuki Yume
