What does he know? What does he wield? Sharpened sword and polished shield! Where does this trek take this young lad? It takes him to save good from bad. Why must one so young be our hero? In truth, the King's armies are down to zero. How can it be? How can this boy win? I know perhaps his chances are slim. "Slim" you say? It cannot be done! Many have lost where few would have won. He ventures far. What power has he? One never knows where power may be. What will he do against their spells? What we could not with the village bells. Is this boy mad? Why does he not run? Perhaps he believes himself to be the one. But what force guides him? Whom does he serve? I know not, but he has nerve. But why? I wonder who sent him. What matters now is whether he'll win. We should join him! I'll get my ax! I'll get my staff to fight the King's tax! Let freedom reign! Spill their dark blood! We'll vanquish them as though we were a flood. Wait for us, sir! We'll help you fight! You say a "player" guides you? That can't be right. Is this nothing more than some child's game? Than does it matter? We have no fame. What's that? You now say the child will cry! That's only if one of us should die. Then we must win, by all God's might! We shall be victorious in this fight! What is life without poetry and adventure? |

I love the action. It is so full of passion.  Cold hands means a warm heart |

I based it mainly on video games and RPGs. The hero always seems to be courageous and - as far as the townspeople are concerned - insane. What is life without poetry and adventure? |
