A New Kind of Tale

Part 2

Once upon a time, long ago

There was a story to tell

In a land, full of magic

One too many angels fell

There were the heroes, strong and tall

Not going on much, easy to thrill

You'd think in the stories that they'd change

Unlike the stories, they had to stay still

To rewrite their story, to change fate

Was an extremely dangerous feat

But it was a challenge to them

One they intended to meet

The first decided to disobey

The rules that were clearly laid

But she was found a liar, and her pride

Was the price that she paid

The second wanted to help

For the sake of succeeding in life

But she ended up, instead

Causing quite a bit of strife

The third was clever, but not enough

To realize she was stuck down

Playing the part of bandit and thief

For a pirate, she won the crown

Finally the fourth, a killer

Who said she is not

And for ignoring the obvious

Debt was all she got

And still these heroes press on

Unaware of their current tale

Wishing, while not knowing

That their plan would fail

But who decides our destiny

For it is not written among the stars

That is the question we must ask

Before our story can go far

What if, perhaps, instead

Two, not one angel fell

That of course would be a story

I'd be willing to tell

And my dear reader, wait and see

What plots shall unfold

All you can do is bite your lip

And wait for the cards to fold

Until the time is right

I bid you all farewell

And when "The End" comes

I assure death will as well...
