Picking up my pencil, the shackles on my wrist crumble to dust; This hero needs someone to move them forward and to become strong. It's time to put my heart and soul into this story, This time, it's about the hero, not about me. With a good head on their shoulders and determination in their heart, they'll correct the wrong, For they finally have a line to follow, I've done what I must
