"Yes, yes, I am back. After so long. I hate my GCSE exams… but if I want to pass them, I have to revise. Unless I want to live on the street... No… definitely not an option." Z Star.
"An education is important." Xing Cai.
"Thanks, I knew that. Ok, this poem is a father and daughter thing, in Xing Cai's POV. This one is about when Xing Cai was just a little girl and she sees her father away before he goes to battle. Bring out the tissues! It's an early fathers day poem!" Z Star.
Into Battle
I beg,
I cry,
I don't want to say good bye,
Tears trickle down my face,
You let my little heart race,
My fear pumping it,
But you wiped my droplets away,
When I said I'd wished you'd stay,
Bravery, honor and confidence mist your eyes,
Fear, anxiety and misery mist my eyes,
You gripped my tiny hands,
Washing my fears away with your words,
Kind words,
You swear,
You swear you'll come back,
You swear you'll always have my back,
I thought those words were empty promises,
Ill fated claims,
But I loved you,
I let you go,
They say if you love something,
Let it free,
And I did and you came back to me,
Riding in the sunset,
You made a bet,
That one day I would be riding under that yellow sphere with you,
With a fork and shield in hand,
Sparring across the land,
I didn't believe in anything,
But here I stand beside you,
Smiling up at you,
Going into battle…
"I liked it." Xing Cai.
"Of course you do, I make you say that." Z Star.
"Do you?" Xing Cai.
"… I don't know… do I? Ok, moving on! The next poem is about Ma Chao! From Shu! And someone else… who's not from Shu… can you guess who he is?" Z Star.
"Or who she is! You never know…" Xing Cai.
"Until then, I hope to see you soon! Bye!" Z Star.

Fer: Congratulations (Even though it's late) and I'm glad my poem had that effect on you.
