“How brave can you be when it comes to protecting a country?

If you were left with the choice of dying for your loved ones or telling the truth about how you were betrayed, which would you choose?

Would you give yourself to becoming the hero of an empire, a country, a world...or risk everything by giving up the one that deserves to die?

Love has a price, a consequence, and even though you wish for revenge...sometimes you must allow them to live. For if they do not...then you chance evil to come when the rarest of power is never to be seen again.

So ask yourself this..."Will you die in lies and become a hero...or save yourself with the truth?”

“Which is the true good? Harmony(Order)? Or Discord(Chaos)?”

“Neither, our lives are a road filled with twists and turns. Sometimes the right thing to do requires a touch of Discord. Other times it requires a touch of Harmony. Finding the balance should be our ultimate goal. Too much Harmony can lead to stagnation and people can be hurt because we are feeling comfortable with where we stand and don't take action. While too much chaos will lead to unnecessary conflict and in sometimes unnecessary loss of life. Both have their pros and cons. We need to do both as our lives move on. Even if the right thing to do sometimes hurts a bit.”

Once again take the quill, these stories are lives expressed in words.
The paper is their flesh, the ink their blood, and your moving hand is their beating heart.
But what sets all of this into motion is you, the one who reads these tales.

However, to those who write and want to create:
Please care for these beings, they are all alive from the moment you imagine them to the moment you forget them.

'Do not stand at my grave and weep' Possibly by Mary Elizabeth Fry (If possible play 'Rameses B - Lonely Souls before reading)

Do no stand at my grave and weep

I am not there, I do no sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle Autumn rain

When you awaken in the mornings hush

I am the swift uplifting rush of quite birds in circle flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there

I did not die

Across the field of battle, the changeling hordes fell back. The united armies of humanity and Equestrian driving them off, back to the tunnels which they appeared from. Though victory had been won, there were no cheers, or cries of victory.

What joy could be found in victory, when all across the field of war, the bodies of the dead stretched as far as the eye could see. And where the once green grass, now shone red with blood.

I gotta tell you it was fun playing through these games again and reminding myself of why the series was so special to me, journeying through these lands again have helped me feel a bit more creative. I know not everyone agreed with my opinions but the thing is, I don't really care and neither should you there are opinions I had fun with some of these games more then others and I'm aware that various people can think differently if you loved Twilight Princess that's great if you hated Skyward Sword we'll hot dog that's fine too. Opinions help make us unique as people just as so many parts of each Zelda game makes them their own if you pair it yourself to others opinions you lose track of who you are you become a ghost of your former self and a shell of the person you admire it's okay to be influenced just as Zelda has influenced countless successful games throughout the years you shouldn't be getting angry and threaten someone just for not thinking exactly the same way as you or someone else, strive to become your own person, someone worthy of leaving behind of a legend of their own.

“I sacrificed my life, in an attempt to save the world. And I doing so, I’ve learnt that life is beautiful. Most of my life, I always thought that I was entirely different from everyone else. But it was until I put aside my differences, that I saw the true power that myself, Digimon, humans, even ponies all share deep inside. It matters not where you come from. Be it from another land or another world. Because in the end, we’re all the same. With the same feelings, the same emotions, even the way we think. I’ve seen now that the consequences of one’s birth is completely irrelevant. Because it’s what you do with the gift of life, that determines who you are.”

All it takes is a little bit of love.”
