A thousand arrows dot the skies of a town of scared folk which got surprised
By mounted scarecrows which brought demise down in the narrows which was wrought with life
They're taught to survive but they're caught in a strife
From the evil of soldiers, The people, the cultures are left to feed the vultures,
The village is dead, Killed and left in a heap of boulders
But at least it's over...
....Or is it?
Master Li had to flee in the path of trees
Screaming, "You bastards believe you can capture me!?"
He laughs, it seems in these woods he could at least be in peace
Until he slips and trips and snags his knee and scares a lady
Who's there with a baby that's wrapped in sheets,
She tries to crawl back and leave but her body's tapped, she's weak,
So she closed her eyes and went into everlastin sleep...
...And this is
Where I found you, There in the town's view I took you in my care and allowed you
A chance for redemption, this is not often something man is given,
So here's the plan, you listening? "Yes Master you have my attention."
Good, this demands precision, The Emperor lives in Helm's Den
Guarded by twelve men, It's there you'll sneak in at dawn
And deal with his pawns while I deal with the Five Fingers of Tong...
...The next dawn
The Orphan sat in peace and calm staring at the leaves of fall
Until a wounded soldier released a call deep in the hall,
"So you're the chosen one? Do you know what you've done?
Don't you know you need us all!?
Twenty years ago you were sent to kill us...
You didn't, Now I've avenged my village, Master Li gave me the keys to solve
My anger through purpose, And this danger was worth it
Just to see you crawl..."I don't believe your gall
He's decieved you all....The Fingers of Tong....Will linger on...
Because Li's the palm..."
The Orphan gasped as Master Li stuck his sword in his back,
He fell to the floor and passed, Finally after his morbid past
He had become a corpse at last....
....And so it is said
After decades of absence the empire was saved from the savage
Orphan's behavior by the former traitor, The Glorious Strategist
Master Li
