The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Heh, let's see if anyone has anything to say on this one... ;)

 

I wrote this poem quite some time ago, as something of a christmas/new years gift to a friend who runs a library for fanfiction for the Breath of Fire series of games. But since I found myself speaking in this poem just as much as Mina did, I felt that I could post it here.

 

Mina Windia

 

When I’m gone, will you love me the same as you did?

Will you call me your Child, your Dear?

When I’m gone, will you miss me, or gladly be rid

of this child you once held so near?

 

Mother, I’m Mina, e’en after I’ve gone.

Father, don’t leave me, please don’t go away.

Please, watch me when I come home here at dawn.

Please don’t just end this, please love me today.

 

Nina, my sister, I’ve missed you so long.

I always will answer your voice.

I pray that you won’t think I’ve done something wrong,

but I won’t let you make this your choice.

 

To myself I bid goodbye.

On the wind I soon will fly.

I leave behind my human kin

to aid the heros, help them win

for in the end it matters not

where on the battlefield I fought

I spare my sister, take her place

for she is quicker, in this race.

And she alone may end the jinx

which causes the most dreadful links

from blackened wings to burning fire.

But now I act, before I tire.

 

And now that I’m gone, do you love me the same?

Do you call me your Child, your Dear?

Now I’m gone, do you miss me, or now do you blame

me, a child you never held near?

 

...or a child who ne’er brought a tear?

Oooh...I like! :woot: And I absolutely adore the Breath of Fire series. :D (I have one of them downloaded on my computer.....shhhhh!)

Would this be in reference to Breath of Fire II, perchance?

YES!

 

I think I have found my people! Finally someone else that likes (or has even heard of) Breath of Fire. It is in fact based on Breath of Fire two. I chose to write it on the scene where Mina becomes the "Great Bird".

 

Out of curiosity, has anyone else here ever been to the BOFFC, or heard of Arcahan? If so, I'm sure you could find a fine example of me at my worst if you go to the BOFFC library and read Cat's Eyes. I like the story I chose to tell... I just happen to have told it horribly.
