Shrek's large, hulking body falls to the ground

I run over to his side

Shrek looks up at me

Tears falling from my face

Staining his tunic

Shrek struggles to speaks

"Don't worry laddie, my pain is ogre now."

Shrek puts his cold hand on my cheek

"There's a chest in the house, go find it."

I ask Shrek what is in the chest

He responds by saying "your destiny"

Shrek looks me in the eye

"Stay strong, my little onion, I will always be watching ogre you."

Shrek's hand falls to the ground, kicking up dust

I throw myself at Shrek's chest and weep for an hour

I finally gain the will to stand

I head to the house to find the chest Shrek spoke about

I search everywhere, but to no attainment did I find such a chest

I was almost ready to give up

When I noticed there was an peculiar placement of tree bark on the wall

I move the bark and find a hole

And what was contained in the hole

None other than a chest

The chest had a strange design

None of any kind I had seen

Could it be of a forgotten race

I open the chest, which to my amazement, was unlocked

I peer into the chest, curious of its contents

I see a stunning sword

I pick it up and examine it closely

I notice that this is not just any sword

It is the sword known as Nightstriker

It was forged in O'gre, the most sacred swamp known to the mortal mind

So holy that only the most pure of ogres are allowed to enter

The sword was used by the legendary Green Warrior

The hero of Far Far Away

The hero that protected all who could not protect themselves from evil

But why did Shrek have this

The Green Warrior is only a legend

There's no way that Shrek was The Green Warrior

I search through the rest of the chest

I find a distinct set of ogre armor

Strange, this also resembles the armor worn by The Green Warrior

I find a note

I open the note, carefully

The note reads as follows

"Dear Laddie

If you are reading this, it means that my past has caught up to me

You must go on to take my place and become the savior of this land

You must protect those who are unable to protect themselves

You must become what no man could dream of becoming

I stand, as I fight back tears

I turn to the door, Nightstriker in hand

I find a noble steed tied up in back

I take him and set out to finish what should have ended a long, long time ago

I turn back to the swamp I had come so accustomed to

Shrek is love, I whisper

Shrek is life
