Not Just Stories

I've sailed across the ocean
Seen Carthya march to war
I've battled against Kronos
Heard Oliver ask for more

I was Receiver of Memory
The Speaker for the Dead
I've been Ender's Shadow
Heard the Whisperer in my head

I've found a world inside a wardrobe
Borne the Burden all alone
I've fallen into Tartarus
Been orphaned without a home

You may call them fantasy
A fable, myth, or tale
And though it ends eventually
For a little time it's real
