The heroes of legend So great and powerful Their stories will live Well beyond their years But what about the unsung one The companion to the great hero Does he not deserve praise Destiny may not have chosen him Fate must have overlooked him But he still fought the great evil Slayed the vile demon And most importantly He protected the hero Nothing can be done alone Too often is this forgotten The focus is put on one Who did not chose But was chosen What about the other The one that did chose He chose to risk everything There was nothing great at work Forcing him to chose It was a simple Yet immense decision The stories of the companions are great While the hero was scared The companion was there to comfort When the hero had doubt The companion was there to inspire When the hero fell The companion was there to prop him up Sometimes the greater hero isn’t the destined one It is the one that stood by the hero The choice they made Never regretting it Only pushing forward to another’s goal Never again look over the companion For something important will be missed That may be lost forever
