Fantasy

Young child, when you are older, you will realise swords are foolish
That shields are tough to wield
That your prince or princess is often guarded by tougher demons than dragons
That crowns can weigh you down

You will know that this world is not one of fairy tails
You will learn that no hero is too great to be clean of flaws
Yet know you must journey still
Don't let these warnings give you pause

Travel to the land of far far far away
Learn a trade of dashing arts and chivalry
Rise, young squire, the night is young
Act reckless, but with bravery

Like all, you were chosen. Here is your task. A burden. 
Seek the greatest challenge you can in that land.
You must best it, young prodigy
Emerge a much finer human.

And then, when it is time to return
Bring back some fantasy of your own
And you will make a little brighter
This imperfect world we must call home
