The Ballad of Adol: Vanished Omen/Eternal

[Cyhirae]

From a distant and humble land,
A young lad took his sword in hand-
He bid his empty home farewell,
And never once looked back as the tales tell.

Over the waters his trail soon led,
Bringing him to a land shrouded in dread-
For demons were lurking all but at the door;
The nightmarish Dharm Tower was awakening once more.

Stranded by storm and armed with curiosity,
The redmaned boy set out himself to see-
Never intending to confront this dark power,
He wished only to help those who could only cower.

And yet Fate did play her hand,
Started when she drew him to this land-
And the Legend of Ys unfolded before him;
While the hopes of the people grew ever dim.

Following the tale of the Rhoda Trees,
Up the tower strode the boy from acrossed the seas,
Led by their tale and the descendants three-
Unaware each step was weaving a new history.

At last at the top of the tower,
He confronted a demon of frightening power-
Then learned his journey was only beginning;
For above, the land of Ys was soon to be descending.

Rough and doesn't really tell much of the game details..^^; but kinda wasn't meant to.

And sorry if this wasn't supposed to go here- but no idea where to post fanworks. O.o; Still as promised to Mjmmx- some serious Ys poetry.

[Del Stimpson]

I think it's pretty good. Better then most fanworks that I've seen anyway.

[Cyhirae]

Happy to hear it, Del. Thank you!

*working on the second one- gotta refresh on the second game's story though* It was a little more involved than the first one...

[afiqys]

Wow, thats really good. I wish i had some poetic talents, might get more friends that way.

[Cyhirae]

poetry's not hard - but promise ya: it doesn't attract friends. *LOL* I'm glad you liked it.

[Cyhirae]

Doggeral is nice
But such a sort walks thin ice,
Poetry takes time.

Haiku for you~

nice work... you seem to draw a larger day crowd.

*LOL* I dunno that i'm attracting them but I'm glad you like my work.

I intend to Deuce. My usual schemes are considerably more complicated- I was going for old medieval there. Those usually followed that or the ABAB to make it easy for the performer to remember.

My usual personal style is a good bit different, as Lumi can attest. *L* Normally it's metered free verse. I rarely bother with rhyming 'cept to have a li'l fun or mimic old styles.

[Cyhirae]

You might be happy with the next few I'm working on then. I intend to do one for each Ys game as Lumi helps me with the stories (Or I attempt to play them..laugh with me now, I couldn't even beat Ys I.) and since the stories get more complicated, I'll be using my typical style for those...Especially Felghana and Napishtim. The AABB worked nicely for the far more simple story of the first game though.

Origin, naturally, gets a set of three..one to each story. Though guess I'll hafta wait till it's old news to do Claw's. Don't want to spoil that one for anyone.

hm..I can't recall any of his stuff...but that's no shock. *LOL* I listen to some pretty odd, off the beaten path stuff.

[Arjak]

Nice poem, at first I was expecting something humorous, but this is quite good. I like it!

[Lumi]

=P Bah, you already know what I had to say about this one, Cy.

Trent Reznor, better known to the world as Nine in Nails, I think. Not that I really ever listened to his stuff myself.


Guess this means I need to replay Napishtim to get the story refreshed in my head...

Although my Japanese will need a marked improvement before I can aptly explain anything about the Claw's scenario. Durh. =P

Still, Ys poetry. =P Who'da thunk? Easier to consume than fanfiction, thankfully.

Well, Ys I is actually harder than several of the other games, in my opinion...

I'm in quite agreeing on that one being hard..but the others look pretty hard to someone as reflex challenged as myself.

Hehehe- my humorous poem's in my greeting thread. I intend to do pretty much serious stuff from here on out. Glad you like it! ^_^

.....Just for that, Lumi, I should write some Ys fanfiction. And make you read it. XD .....but Fan poetry's much more my thing....

[Lumi]

Please. I know our your writing better than I know your poetry. You don't scare me.

[Cyhirae]

...you're begging for a parody fic. =P or Legend of Lumi Part Two!

No matter what I say, your muse will do its worst. I might as well wait for it.

I could always write an Ys fanfic. And in it I will finally pair Adol up with his one true love.
