The people of Hura were in great need.
Monsters on every corner and Shadows down the street.
Their warriors are dead, their Champions have been defeated
Opposers to the new rule are taken and beaten.

The Shadows enslave the mind
Creating endless nightmares until death can find
A helpless human writhing in agony
As they were tortured by the darkness in tyranny.

Who can save us? Not one of our own, that's for sure
Where people are caught by insanity's ruthless lure.
Yet outsiders are hard to trust, in which we found
Shadows armed with fears, lurking around.

One step forward, then stabbed in the back.
Give in to the darkness, and the darkness comes fast.
No sense of self anymore
Warped by fear, there is no cure.

Yet hope shines through one day.
When a stranger stepped through with colors grey
With cold intellect shining from his eye
And a black blade resting next to his thigh.

He wore a cloack blacker than a starless night
Green eyes that have seen fear and conquered it with all his might.
Music is the language in which he spoke
But there was no conversation from the local folk.

"Where might I find the leader of your people?" he said, words like a song.
At this question, many knew that few could go wrong.
"He has been taken by the darkness," a man explained.
Some jumped up in fear, but on the floor most remained.

Fear so deep it shook the bones.
Pain so strong it was never known.
The stranger could see it all, not with pity but hate.
"Whoever did this to you will be run through by this blade!"

He shouted, and the audience screamed
At least they still know what hope means.
Some weren't sure, their faces gaunt.
Believers in the fact that the cause was lost.

"Believe me when I say,
That I will help you today!"
Said the man, and people thought the same.
It must be murder to dare speak this man's name.

"I have tackled the tornado and made sure it was slain!
I filled the earthquake with fear and it won't come back again!
I have seen fear and death, through many years with this eye!
Now watch the screams of your tyrants teach fear and death to die!"

The people applauded, knowing he did not lie.
Even if he fails, he will be back to try.
The Shadows sensed this, and hissed with anger.
And they advanced on this hero, oblivious to the slaughter.

And slaughter came, as the Shadows were dead and left to rot.
And true to the stranger's words they returned not.
They knew no fear, for fear was their weapon.
But one fearless man taught the darkness a great lesson.

"It is okay to have fear in the mind!
But don't let it overwhelm you and make you die!
That is what these beings have done to you.
I came and helped, now you must help too.

Darkness is merely absence of light.
If it is dark and you are scared of night.
Don't make it be so much to handle
Instead, go inside and light a candle!".

The hero turned around, preparing to go
He vanished without a trace, the people supposed so.
The stranger saved their souls, and taught them to try
To conquer the fear, and to let fear die!
