Chapter 0 - x~*~x

I left this life a long time ago<br>

For a place i thought was better<br>

A place with no wrong, only right<br>

No evil, only peace.<br>

<br>

Now i float above the clouds<br>

Drifting between life and death<br>

My being is supported by nowt but<br>

Pure happiness and content.<br>

<br>

I look down at the warring countries<br>

At the polluted Earth<br>

At the corrupted Peoples<br>

How has the world come to this?<br>

<br>

With desperate effort i try to steer clear<br>

Of the thoughts in my head, but<br>

How can i save my friends?<br>

Will they ever be as happy as me?<br>

<br>

I dream of them burning<br>

Their flesh stripped dry by the fires<br>

Of a place few so narrowly escape<br>

But one which i hope to never see.<br>

<br>

I cannot let this happen<br>

The world must know the truth<br>

That they were headed for Hell<br>

The minute I was given to the clouds.<br>

<br>

So this is my pledge<br>

I sacrifice my immortality for you, world<br>

I give up my wings and i bear to you my heart<br>

I love my friends more than i love my soul<br>

<br>

Falling quickly, tears escaping my eyes<br>

Feathers rip from my back<br>

The glow fades from my cheeks<br>

The rain begins to fall with me<br>

<br>

In a race against the weather, i slam<br>

Against the hard ground<br>

The sense of pain is one<br>

I haven''t felt in centuries<br>

<br>

Wiping blood from my cheek<br>

and rain from my hair,<br>

I glance behind me,<br>

my wings are no longer there<br>

<br>

Tears, tears, and yet more sorrow<br>

Regret, hate, a lust for revenge<br>

I hate those who dropped my here<br>

Who stripped me from my pride<br>

<br>

A voice speaks to me quietly<br>

It''s volume clouded by the world''s great influence<br>

"Do not fear, my child,<br>

For you were sent to redeem,"<br>

<br>

When it left me<br>

All feelings left with it<br>

All regret passed<br>

I''m here of my own choosing<br>

<br>

I will fix this world<br>

I will steer its people right<br>

My friends will see Heaven<br>

My friends will see God<br>

<br>

Today, I look back at my sacrifice<br>

I gave up what i held so dear<br>

For people i knew<br>

But also people i never knew existed<br>

<br>

As long as I''m here, my people will live<br>

I cannot leave, else they shall die<br>

The time has changed, the time has come<br>

My coming, their beginning.<br>

<br>

<br>
