Too late to ask questions but too early for goodnight?

[30]

A pretty scary girl, as determined as anyone

It’s clear that she will stop at nothing til her quest is done

Still she manages to think quite quickly on her feet

Probably the nicest Berserker you’ll ever meet

[65]

A boy who’s starting to feel out of his depth but goes on

Still, it’s much to early for conclusions to be drawn

Though he’s learning to employ patience along with speed

His abilities are still evolving now indeed

After passing by the messengers in a hurry

Sky had been running with a relentless fury

“Don’t you think that we can slow down now, you’ll get too tired!

When are you going to tell me what had just transpired?”

Leaf was far from out of breath but still was quite confused

When the two scouts asked for the truth she had quickly refused

“Why didn’t you ask for help, they both seemed pretty nice

Couldn’t we have at least asked the old one for advice?”

Sky slowed a little so she could answer her friend

“Father says that help from the king bites you in the end

Sure, there are a lot of nice people serving the king

But if you give them the chance, they would take everything”

“I think I heard my mother says something like that before

She used to work for them but doesn’t like them anymore

Why would they want Twig though, sure he’s weak, but he’s not bad

And if they tried to take him, old Delilah would be mad”

“I wouldn’t want to be there when she met those scouts for sure

But it would be more than a boy like Twig could now endure

What he needs is friends, they way he’s always there for us

Whether the king wants him or not, we’ve no time to fuss”

Achievement: Lesson in Discernment

Your speed will never fail you but at times your judgement will

Learning who to trust means more than knowing how to kill

As you’re quick to learn these lessons, I’ll push you along

Often you must quickly discern what is right and wrong

Leaf felt his mind grow a little clearer right away

Understanding more of what he had just heard Sky say

He realized it may be safer for them on their own

Than to rely on strangers in service of the throne

A boy who’s starting to feel out of his depth but goes on

Still, it’s much to early for conclusions to be drawn

Though he’s learning to employ patience along with speed

His abilities are still evolving now indeed

“You know, the gods sure have been nice and helpful recently

Achievement messages are mostly all I used to see”

Leaf pondered upon all of his god’s recent advice

They’d always been helpful, but they’d never been so nice”

“Father says that it’s a sign that something could be wrong

Normally the gods only help destiny along

If they’re trying to guide us to a specific fate

There must be something quite big which they anticipate”

“What exactly does that mean, is it to do with Twig?

Don’t you have more details, what do you mean something big?”

Sky was growing irritable as Leaf carried on

“Please will you just focus, or will you talk dusk til dawn?!”

She turned around and snapped at him, stopping him in his tracks

“Sorry Sky, I’m not as smart as you, but please relax”

Sky was going to rebuke him further but she stopped

And when she saw a status message screen, her shoulders dropped

Achievement: Growing into your Class

That’s the spirit you should have, your eyes were just in fire

Rage will give you a path to whatever you desire

You may be angelic, but your strength is in your wrath

Better you accept yourself and run toward that path

You may think that this is just a game to me, it’s not

Even though I do enjoy your wild side quite a lot

You’re about to wish you had been born a berserker

It seems the world is about to start moving much quicker

The level up felt like raw power coursing through her veins

No hint of previous level ups’ temporary pains

But when she read the status message she knew right away

And when she turned her eyes upward, it was no longer day
