Deep nostalgia 16

I know it's been hard
But deep down, I know what has to be done
I'll draw into the power of water
Then I can form the legendary blade

In my youth, I was a conflicted individual
Raised in a far off village to learn legends
The one problem with learning all that however
Is how it all got washed away

Instead I watched in horror
As fundamentalism took over my home
Pressed by one madman's lust for power
As well as a strong need for greed

It took several minutes, but it formed
In my left hand, was a leaf shaped blade
This was the ancient blade of water
One of four kingdom weapons of the world

It was now in my hands
Time to free my friends.
