Something special in the works - Ballad of the Fearless (Patreon)

This is JUST A Poem right now! I want to turn into a Ballad but it will take some work, you are getting to see it in advance.

When the world needed heroes, four answered their call

One a gunslinger, rode from Nimbus to stop the fall

On one hip she bore the hammer of sun

Upon other, grandmother's moon shield spun

She wished to be lone no more, to her I sing this ode

For she would find love's hand many times it flowed

Her heart purest in friendships she made to embrace

To Evil's lair would she race always upon the case

A legacy of legend she intended to write, not for glory

Because it was the right thing for her story

Beneath that Au Ra's Mask, Symbol she would rally

To her the warriors of light did they stand in the valley

Between Science of Mad and Wills of Gods

Her grit did not care for the odds

For with her guns held high and on the right

She rallied the Heroes in the Lakshmi’s Light

Chorus 1

Cloud's Guns unleash with a blast

Shield the weak in their flash

Emma's Star upon butterfly wings

For her all our party does sing

Hone's Fists unleash inner chocobo

to all around we scream KAPOH!

Solid's elements unleash and flare

Silver defends all who we share

Fearless Defend us to the last

Bring Hope to see Eclipse's plan dashed

Stood next to the gunslinger, dancer of mythic talent

Whose moves would revive the world of song so gallant

She held in her arms a knight, his body hardened

But whose soul would never become darkened

Her chakrams flew and she danced anew

Feet pounding, her moves inspired others through

The chaos around her, even when hope seemed dim

the light soared upon butterfly wings they would swim

With a star so bright, she could guild any from their plight

Into the darkest of knight she held back the black in this fight

So long as she knew that in her heart, she was always the rose

Foes beware, this rose has thorns and her star shall depose

For Gaia's Light did she dance, even as it grew cold

Every nightmare she would face, growing more bold

For none would deny her destiny as it was foretold

A Hero so bright her light, breaking evil's hold

Chorus 2

Cloud's Guns unleash with a blast

Shield the weak in their flash

Emma's Star upon butterfly wings

For her all our party does sing

Hone's Fists unleash inner chocobo

to all around we scream KAPOH!

Solid's elements unleash and flare

Silver defends all who we share

Fearless Defend us to the last

Bring Hope to see Eclipse's plan dashed

From Monastery of Fables and Phoenix's Fire

Did a humble monk from a race too timid and queer

He flew down the mountain to a world on the brink

His stalwart mind a fortress against the void's drink

His food would make one's body bolter greater than any walls

The conversations within his kitchen, legendary to all halls

He stepped forth, tiny and small

Here to stop an Eclipse of darkness’s fall

His fists flew and kicks did Brawl

Strikes hammering harder than any maul

He refused to let his size make him less

For upon fiery wings was he ever blessed

He joined with the other two, hope on his sleeve

His heart guarded against any who would cleave

He looked to the Eclipse and smiled plain to see

The Moogle would fight in name of the Tree

Chorus 3

Cloud's Guns unleash with a blast

Shield the weak in their flash

Emma's Star upon butterfly wings

For her all our party does sing

Hone's Fists unleash inner chocobo

to all around we scream KAPOH!

Solid's elements unleash and flare

Silver defends all who we share

Fearless Defend us to the last

Bring Hope to see Eclipse's plan dashed

Born of God and Magic, the feathers did awoke

In a temple secret within mountains cloak

She knew not yet was instilled with so much

Upon her friends, she needed a guiding crutch

Her spells could annihilate cities but her heart refused

She would not fall even if her soul was bruised

Her love of death was not to be left to confuse

For she sought the world with a naive and pure view

Into the fires of battle, did silver wings follow

Never giving ground even as she felt hollow

Friends refused to let her sorrow be a choker

To others a hero yet to herself she felt mediocre

Upon the battle elements unleash their wrath

For her friends she knew, to protect their path

Never to falter again, not with so much at stake

For she could not bear to see Gaia break

Chorus 4

Cloud's Guns unleash with a blast

Shield the weak in their flash

Emma's Star upon butterfly wings

For her all our party does sing

Hone's Fists unleash inner chocobo

to all around we scream KAPOH!

Solid's elements unleash and flare

Silver defends all who we share

Fearless Defend us to the last

Bring Hope to see Eclipse's plan dashed

Together they were bound and strode

They would not be bowed by Lich's adobe

Friends into the heart of Hojo's Lairs

He would not find them in his snares

The eater of Chocobo did stand to sour

But against his might they would not cower

Upon the mount of trials did they awoken

But their hearts would be seen unbroken

Into the Pit of Science's Madness seek to devour

For in that void they would push their power

Unto the Arena did they see a graceful tear

Even there they brought light to our sphere

When Eclipse sought death to their peer

They stood there despite his angry glare

A steel hope between them did they hold dear

For in darkest moment, they sung Gaia’s cheer

Final Chorus

Cloud's Guns unleash with a blast

Shield the weak in their flash

Emma's Star upon butterfly wings

For her all our party does sing

Hone's Fists unleash inner chocobo

to all around we scream KAPOH!

Solid's elements unleash and flare

Silver defends all who we share

Fearless Defend us to the last

Bring Hope to see Eclipse's plan dashed
