The Greatest Adventure of The Rivals // Kingdom of Pogtopia

Part 61: Unfortunate Lies

(Song time, o-o)

Darryl was writing in a book. He sighed heavily.

He lifted his feather pen and thought for a moment, before tilting his head down a bit.

-These words are the lyrics He's singing-

Leaving your friends for monsters in Hell~
I've failed them~ Too~
Watching them~ As they leave your mind~

It kept a soft rhythm, light strums keeping it chill.

Watching replacements perish in light~
Others feeling pain in sight~
Unfortunate Lies~

He got up and started walking.

How could I let~ That~ Go?~
Magic and Pain sworn, to~

Your friends replaced by demons,
That are family~
That are famil~yyy~

Fire in the flames~
What am I doing~ here?~
Unfortunate Lies~

He turned a corner.

How could I let~ That~ Go?
Demons and death~ made to~

Tears started forming in his eyes.

I'm not a saint~
I'm not a monster~
I'm not a demon~

What have I come tooo~ Believe~

A stray of high-ish notes came along.
The high notes like a violin, often getting slightly lower and going back higher, lower violin notes following and doing the same, and strums of a ukulele.

Be your boyfriend~
I love you~
I miss you~
Seeing you from miles~ away~

It hurts my heart, to see you in pain~
So I took your place~
And brought death~
Upon~
Myself~

Streams of tears ran down his face.

How could I let~ That~ Go?~
Hearts and love~ bro~ken~

I'm no beginner~
I could shoot you if wanted to~
But I'm afraid~ To~ Do~~

It's like I was made~
To be an Angel~
But I don't have the looks~
I don't have the halo~~~

I'm a monster~
It's what people say~
I believed i~~t~

He sniveled.

I'm a demon~
As born to be~~
But I failed to~ be~
I failed family~

He walked into his room and leaned against the wall.

Unfortunate Lies~
Unfortunate Lies~
Unfortunate~~~ Lies~

He slid down and hugged his knees.

How could I have let~ That~ Go?~
Lovers and Friends~~~
Lost, too~

His voice broke down at those last lyrics. He started to cry in his knees.

Nobody knew how much pain he was really in. Constantly taunted by blood vines, having to kill people, it wasn't him.

"I'm not a monster."

"I fight to protect."

"I- I- ..."

"I miss my friends.." He managed to say.

Have I completely replaced them with demons? I miss them.. I want to be with them..

...

Was this all of Schlatt's fault? All of it? He's the reason why I'm here.. He got his own son killed.. He caused this all. Darryl softly cried into his knees, forgetting it all.

Stitches seemed to have walked into the room.

She must have heard his ruckus of lyrics and tears.

Stitches made a low purring sound approaching Darryl.

"Stitches.." Darryl said, slowly looking up.

"You're.. one of my last hopes.. Don't ruin this for me. I've failed so much, and I don't need you to follow me." Darryl said, holding her snout.

Stitches seemed confused, sniffing him.

"I'm sorry. You're probably muffined now. I'm not a monster like how demons call you, a monstrosity. No offense, you're beautiful." Darryl said.

Stitches turned her head so her eye was staring right at Darryl.

Darryl saw her second eyelid close and open up again.

"You're scaring me." He giggled slightly, wiping his tears.

563 words. Sorry this chapter is so short, this chapter was just a song and a little afterscene. The song could have been longer but I didn't have much lyrics left. Yes, I did make the song myself, literally made it the second I made this chapter.

This chapter was Darryl basically explaining the way his life has been. (Can you guess all the scenes in the lyrics?) He hasn't had the best life, he's actually in a lot of pain. Nobody knows how much pain he's been in.

So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, be sure to comment and vote(if you like this story) and I'll cya next chapter, my enderbros!
