Today, a more interesting matter would need to be addressed. With the birth of my village, the government and I had only focused on the rebuilding and repair of the trees to forge a new civilization out of nothing. Now, however, the village was flourishing, and other matters needed to be addressed. My ANBU for example was ready to move out of a small room in the Castle to their own home and headquarters. Today, I would build this very building in the highest tree in the village, high above the view of any citizens on the ground. I began my singing:
"I found hope
In the back of a closet
Written by a child's hand
On pieces of parchment
Yellowed and old
I've never seen
That kind of belief
I sat to read
A story of kindness
Where even just one kiss
Can change how we read this
Can help us get lost
In a pattern so ageless
It conquers the cost
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go 'cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run
Until we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
Can you say
You remember a time when
All you had was a dream and
A promise to fight
When you were sure you were gone
When there wasn't the hope to carry on
Well in these days
We can live with a passion
We only deserve when
We cherish the burden
Of the brothers beside
When we carry the bones
That can't walk on their own
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go 'cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run
Until we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
When you say sing to me
I will sing like everyone is listening
Like current company
Thinks the words we speak right now mean everything
Like we all should feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
Close the distance."
I would look far into the canopy of the tree to see the huge office-building grow out of the tree. Perfect. It was hidden by shadow as well as big enough to be efficient. At the base of the tree, I hummed a low tune to signify this tree. In the huge trunk, a large phrase etched itself into the middle.
"Where the fire burns the brightest."
This would be the motto of the ANBU, only known by me and my agents at the time. Also, I would place a plaque underneath the quote stating "In memory of a friend. Death comes when we least expect it."
