• Once in a land long ago and far away.

    A poor farm boy was on his quest,

    To save a friend before he went astray.

    It all started in the northwest. . . . .



    When Takhiro’s parents were faced with Death

    He managed to convince him to spare them their lives while being half insane.

    But within a year they both took one last breath.

    He soon afterwards realized his sacrifice was in vain.


    He soon was ill, so sick indeed

    He fell into an a coma for more than a year

    Then finally he woke up realizing while something wrong, and guaranteed

    That no one was there to shed even one tear.


    So after a long awaited decision

    Takhiro finally decided to go on a journey

    After having a midnight vision.

    He decided to go where Death was often, the Annual Tourney.


    He went there in sight of him.

    And finally found the evil person

    With the near death of a knight named Tim

    For things only seemed to worsen.


    After talking with the evil being

    He realized his friend was in the underworld.

    He jumped off an abandoned bridge to go under without being seen

    Then Death appeared and Takhiro saw things go swirled.


    Down under, waiting at the gate

    Takhiro saw his friend up the Infinite Bridge.

    He smiled at this lucky fate

    He quickly jumped over the drawbridge.


    He called to his friend

    He seemed to run for years

    He ran to the end

    With many shed tears.


    He ran forever and finally caught up with his friend

    But quickly understood it wasn’t him

    He cried Death, “Do with me what you like or make me end

    Spare my poor sacrificed friend you brother of Grim!”




    About a week or so later

    A person suddenly awoke with Death telling him,

    “You may now live again, a new identity on the Equator.

    You are now to be known as a knight named Jim.”


    But little did Jim know that Death almost never loses a bargain.

    For where Death put him is where a cannon ball was to land

    Jim unable to understand heard a bunch of jargon.

    The cannon ball hit and Jim became dead like sand.


    So in the end

    Death won the fight.

    Takhiro still lost his friend.

    As in life those that conquer aren't always light.
