[Brave Story] Two Boys

This is...a poem. I dunno, lately I've been writing poetry. It's for Brave Story, of which I am a huge, HUGE fan of. I'll post this to AO3 tomorrow.

Two boys by Goddess’s touch allowed
Into the world for dreams unbound
Two boys, each vying for a future
One for a mother, one for a sister

Two boys meet at the ancient shrine
One thought they might be friends, with time
The other told him to keep on moving
Though he himself had something he was seeking

Two boys who once had lives so plain
One whose journey shall be in vain
Two boys fighting to claim a single stone
Two boys to travel, never to be home.

Two boys meet once again
In the realm of the Goddess, beyond the world of men
Two boys through hardship and suffering became
The dearest of friends, chosen to call each other’s name.
