For my friends, Jonah, Chelsea, Anna and Mo
And for Miss Boyd, my Year 4 teacher who (likes to) plays Zelda…
“The flow of time is cruel…Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it…”
Courage may not be remembered, for it is never forgotten.’

The Prophecy of Light
‘Fire
The flame
The golden light.
Where freedom rests
So does light rest, with
The kingdom of happiness
The place of free dragons, and
Phoenixes, with no shadow
No hatred, or malice, but the
Trace of light, laughter and the
Right of happiness and one’s
Own legend of life and
Wonder.
A world of hatred, malice and darkness
Possessed by the mightiest shadows
The one of the most obnoxious
A world where the river of gloom flows
The kingdom’s future has spread
The cries of war, the cries of fate
But the light has not deadened
So why fear in such haste?
For the light is here!
With freedom in wing,
The phoenix is here!
The golden light shines; shows the way
The shadow halts, and looks away
The fire glows: it makes it pay
The world smiles, the kingdom grins,For the age of calamity is over, and peace is in
