Memories of Old
Featuring GuardianGhost's Balthamos






Shades, shadows, memories of old
Passing through the Forest hold
Their heads once held pictograms gold
But now they wander namelessly cold

I watch them pass many a deer
Who seem to miss those that appear
So I conclude that their presence here
May only be seen by those without fear

They call and call and ask for aid
Their voices quiet like a whisper fade
Those that hear run off afraid
Fearing they disturbed a deceased shade

I approach and try to assist
But they wander away, my help missed
I sigh and watch them vanish in the mist
They must not even know I exist

I go my own way into the Forest alone
Quiet and calm with little a moan
Until I become lost in the Ruin's throne
I sit in my cradle and rest my bones

Here all around me are those long dead
Who slumber without worry or dread
It's here I realize my thoughts were misled
Wanderers know always where they tread

I close my eyes and begin to rest
Settling quietly here in my nest
As shades and shadows linger depressed
Their situation mine not to contest

I feel honoured Quad,

I feel honoured Quad, really.
Mostly because, if I'm not mistaken, no one commissioned you this, so it makes me think that my character directly inspired you.
I approach and try to assist
But they wander away, my help missed
I sigh and watch them vanish in the mist
They must not even know I exist

My favourite part.
I love it all, anyway, you really got the character.
Maybe one day I'll find a way to repay your kindness c:

I was in the mood to write

I was in the mood to write something, and saw you were online. So I looked at Balthamos' profile and had the idea that he sees shades that are locked eternally wandering through the Forest. I didn't think I had ever made fanwriting for uou so yeah, I just wanted to write something for you anyway XD. I'm glad you enjoyed it
