The Chosen One

There is a peaceful, wonderful village

An evil army comes out to pillage

The great village falls to them

The darkness swallowed the gem

At the loss I was just a child

When our houses were defiled

The elders came and announced

"Our savior we shall pronounce

According to a prophecy uncovered

Upon which for weeks we have hovered

We have discovered from it the truth

The person who would save us is the youth

None other then the one named..."

And I realized I was the famed

Chosen one who will save the day

To whom people will say

"He is a hero, he is great"

A plan I needed, not just fate

I brought to the people unity

Strengthened the community

And together we defeated

The enemy who retreated

There was happiness and celebration

But there was something causing me frustration

The elders, why did they delay

The announcement to that day

I approached the about it

"Good question," they did admit

"We just wanted to know for certain

But now we do, and the curtain

It has dropped, you are a hero"

That satisfied my absolutely zero

Something was indeed wrong

And it did not take long

For then came a new threat

For the elders had set

An underhand trick to get more power

During our darkest hour

They took everything we owned

And themselves they throned

The new power was of a hue

Not white, and not black too

It was a shade gray

If you may

It was more ruthless though

There was no where to hide or go

And this I did help make

For the gem was just fake
