Prologue: Hope (Poem by the Next Chapter)

My foot on the path,
My hand on the gate,
My head in the clouds,
My soul with the wind.
–
As the Golden Ray departs,
Now this journey begins:
The Next Chapter is here,
And from here shall tell.
–
There are stories of war,
And stories of heroes,
Stories of cruel pain,
And stories of love.
–
Who knows what stories
Shall soon be told to us?
Just wait and listen,
The Next Chapter is here.
–
Hear ye and listen,
Hear ye from the hills!
The Golden Ray is gone,
But the light shines still!
–
The Next Chapter is here,
And will show you the path,
That our young hero has taken,
The path of great hope!
–
Hope is what drives this story,
Hope shoves us onward.
Hope fills our endless void,
Hope heals our wounds.
–
So listen to these stories,
Which tell now of hope!
The Next Chapter is here,
Let us journey together.
