((Good point.. I really don't want that to happen >_> *Shivers* Well just make sure not to add a girl into the mix then lol and I'll try to wrap this up as best I can ^^))
Ghaleon Elmerast, Ravenclaw, 2nd Year
Ghaleon felt a bit bad over stretching it out even more. "Sorry man, I know you thought it was a little short when we first finished. So I thought it would be better to make it longer. But after I'm finished if you happen to find a better cut off point in what we've already written feel free to cut the parchment." Ghaleon said, he picked up the quill and thought for a little bit before adding more ink to the story.Once upon a time, there was a boy.
Hero, that's what he wanted to be.
Looking for something he devised his ploy,
To become all would plea.
And so he headed on his way,
Hoping he'd do okay.
From under a rock, he heard a yelp.
"Yes, a cry for help !"
---
He moved the rock away from the man
As he did he thought up a plan
But one look and a glance down
His face became a rather large frown
This had been no man he was set to save
But something that belonged in a cave
It's skin was all wrong and leathery to boot
His feet looked like a tree, that had taken to root.
---
"Avast ! Who's there to disturb me ?"
"Weren't you stuck under this stone ?"
"No, but look at you,
All young, all wrong; not even true !"
Boy looked at it in distress,
Wondering how he got into this mess.
"Trying to gain honor, rescuing a monster ?
I'm not a damsel, I'm a disaster !"
With that said, he punished the lad,
Since the boy wanted fame,
The creature gave him game.
Wouldn't that be rad ?
---
His punishment was indeed quite horrible
The creature had made him look rather deplorable
Like this he could never be the best
It made him feel oh so depressed
The villagers would throw a fit
Because he had to admit
None would accept help from one such as him
The truth made his life start to look so grim
What was he to do
His dream was now threw
And now feeling rather down
He only hoped to not be thrown out of the town
---
He hid his face under a hood,
He got back to his neighborhood.
"Stranger, could you deliver these ?"
"Fine, as if I had someone to please."
Glum, he headed to an inn
"Ah ! Where has this been ?"
Said the keeper, in glee.
"This is what someone gave me."
---
He gave up the package and asked no reward
And for this the innkeeper was certainly floored
He waved to the man who hid his face
And he left the building without a trace
Days passed by and small deeds were done
It always left people in a rather large stun
He never showed himself, nor asking for things in turn
A down always down had a rather large upturn
Days turned to weeks into months, and then into years
The boy now a man, had left behind his tears
Until the day he herd a knock upon his door
He opened it up and saw a rather strange glare
The creature he remembered that had made him this way
"I never expected to see such a display"
"Selfless you became, no longer glory you sought"
"Even though you felt quite distraught"
"So I give you my word when you awake this next day"
"That you will be able to come out of the fray"
"Let the people see you for what you really are"
"You just have to wait for the coming morning star"
He went straight to bed not wanting to wait
They'd all see him, praise him, and he could even get a date
But something just didn't feel so right
In all these years he's lived through this plight
When the next morning came and he entered the town
While human he now was he never let his hood stay down
He would be a hero in the eyes of the people
Even if they never knew his name was John Steeple
Ghaleon had no clue where the name came from, simply trying to make this thing rhyme. He looked to his partner to see if he thought the ending was alright. It was more than he'd expected to write of course, but it could be finished, Nathaniel could still add a few more lines if he wished or leave it as is ether way Ghaleon figured they were finally finished.
