• friends from the start,
    inseparable from birth,
    together we played,
    in the village we lived,
    with many others we could play,
    but it was not for us,
    we were different,
    we had talents,
    talents of a dangerous sort,
    the elder knew,
    and raised us he did,
    but the same talents they were not,
    he could call death to his foes,
    he could call light,
    bend it,
    play with it,
    manipulate it to his will,
    he would become the best and only of his kind,
    the sort of legends,
    but this is where we say good bye my friend,
    my path lies not with yours ,
    for many years he trained me,
    apart from my near brother,
    my path was clear,
    to help people where it was needed,
    to coax the earth to further help that which it already cared for,
    to play with earth i was destined,
    learning the fine arts,
    what could do what in what way,
    water to heal,
    water to kill,
    every element had a way to help or harm,
    i was to learn it all,
    the want to abuse this power was great,
    but year by year,
    day by day,
    second by second,
    i had to drive of the desire to abuse it as such
    with my magics i grew to be undieing,
    much suffering i ended with my power,
    many years this continued,
    bringing happiness to those i could,
    brought it i did,
    from the world itself,
    one fateful day,
    a day most grim,
    the clouds so thick around us,
    the skies themselves were crying,
    they cried because it was a fight,
    a fight between ones who were once so close,
    my near brother stood before me,
    "many years it has been,
    why do you do this?",
    i said,
    his twisted mind had had years to play with this thought,
    "you abandoned me,
    you abandoned me brother!"
    he yelled with a force,
    with this his hand was raised,
    and from the ground came his army,
    with there emergence i waved his hand,
    his army fell,
    useless,
    "you know you cant fight with something against nature,
    for mine is such the power"
    he said,
    with this he raised my other hand,
    "i call forth the powers of light to bind him with all that he is,"
    again i raised his hand,
    flicking it just so,
    flames enveloped me,
    from everywhere my voice went,
    "you know you cannot kill me with such weak efforts"
    with but a twitch of his finger a death slave came from beneath me,
    beneath me in my cocoon of fire,
    up the sword did go,
    through mine own heart it did pierce,
    the flames disappeared,
    as i fell to the ground,
    just barly heard with the effects of my spell,
    "im sorry,
    im sorry i have failed you brother,"
    with this my mind broke,
    i was glad to know it was all done,
    that i could finally rest,
    with the seconds going by at a painfully slow pace,
    i saw him,
    he used what he prided himself most in to kill himself
    "goodbye brother"
    was what he said,
    what he said as i died,
    "goodbye brother"
    i said knowing i would see him again...
