New fanfic prologue

[shadowviperx]

Title still in the works, but this'll kinda be the overall concept. I hope to make it long and fruitful!^_^

Prologue: the poem of prophecy

Twelve sisters called the Royal Angels
Charged to defend Minerva's Grace
One by one they fall and die
to the evil's dire embrace.

One remains to guard the treasure,
Minerva's mortal gift.
She must stay safe from evil's grip
for the spirit of good to lift.

A servant of darkness roams the world,
in search of Minerva's power.
With no remorse for those he slays,
he stalks it every hour.

A noble rogue, bred of darkness,
blind to the catastrophe,
is hired as a bodyguard
to safeguard the prophecy.

Together the rogue and sister will be,
as they move to escape the ire
that burns in the mind of a deadly mage
like a demon's roaring fire.

With haste, the pair must move along
to the land of endless green.
There they will learn what to do
with the power that stays unseen.

For the two wings on Minerva's back
are each of opposing views,
and just as good can gain from this,
so can evil get to use.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance,
a war will surely rise,
a grand contest between righteous and wicked
to claim the ultimate prize.

One sister of the chosen twelve,
one rogue of evil's bane,
one sorcerer of chaotic power
a triangle filled with pain.

The destiny of these three souls
will come deftly into play,
as the battle to defend or control
will see who wins the day.

Coolios.

Heh, thanks for the like. Trust me when I say, merely expressing your interest by reading beats any like button easily.

As for the fic itself, I still have to come up with a title. I've pretty much got the beginning of the thing figured out, but I still need to shape it out for certain. Shouldn't take long, I hope. The real deal'll be throw in a new thread. This was merely a teaser.

The poem was completely improvised.^^

[Zi]

...Improvised?

-flop-

[SilverFx]

Hmm, some of the verses are a bit iffy, like the fifth one. But heh, I like the one describing the eeeebil sorcerer. ^^

MOAR~

[shadowviperx]

Hey, I never said I was a poet. Gimme a break! XD

Eh, I can understand why they'd seem iffy. Methinks I need some poetry training. Heck, I could just put this stuff in paragraph form instead. That's always gone better for me. :S

I've almost got down the few things I need to totally pull the first chapter out of my head with reckless abandon.XD(Hey, it's what I did with those first few chappies of The Viper Strikes Next. Didn't even take 30 chapters before I was headlining every blasted POST on that one!) I just need a good TITLE! Keeps eluding me for some reason.

That fifth verse is not iffy. It's simply rhyme for your eyes, rather than your ears (I forgot the term for this, and I'm not gonna look for it).

[shadowviperx]

LOL my thanks for your defense, darkness. Still, even I personally think "dragon's roaring fire" might sound better. But, demons play with fire too, so MEH.

EDIT: Okay, guys, sorry for making you wait so long on this. Okay, new idea. Since deciding to retire from MS, my original ideas on this story have basically fizzled. However, I still desire making a new fic for once in my life, so I'm gonna redo this so it's based on Guild Wars. I'll try to keep that opening poem as similar as possible amidst a bunch of changes. Thanks for your patience, and hope to have something ready to go soon!
