    First time posting one here in forever


    The young hero awoke and left his house
    He hugged his son and kissed his spouse
    He was going to leave to live his dream
    To travel beyond his town by the stream
    With a gleam in his eye and a map in hand
    He left in search of the promised land
    He followed the map and traveled far
    With few rests or naps but many scars
    From every encounter and every fight
    But he kept going until it was in sight
    The valley in which the promises lay
    He finally reached his promised day
    Into the valley he quickly went
    To be repaid for the energy spent
    But he found was not what he expected
    He found a treasure chest, empty upon inspection
    He was ashamed and couldn't go home
    And so he unsheathed his blade and cut to the bone


    ...yeah =T

    That was very sing-song, almost like a nursery rhyme :v

    Your rhyming was basic but it actually worked really well, except where it's a bit dodgy at the end with "inspection" and "expected" not really working out. Some of the lines seemed to go on for a bit too long and ruined the flow. (Especially the third line from the bottom).

    I wasn't expecting such a...uh, pleasant ending. ;_; Good though.

    Hmm reminds me of Legend Of Zelda games. And the ending...well kinda was strange. Good job.
