An optimistic man with more resolve than most you’ll meet
He can deal with anything and still land on his feet
Though his heart is being tested like never before
He’s ready for anything, be it his wife or war
Log gave her the crumpled letter, asking her to look
In his hand the very fancy looking paper shook
Delilah read it slowly, then she read it once again
“So we’re likely to be called, but it’s hard to say when”

Luckily the gods of rage are getting busier
Or I’d have had a hard time maintaining control of her
Despite her going half berserk, it seems she’ll find her way
I just hope there is never a repeat of today
Delilah frowned and put the note away and deeply sighed
Even after all she’d done, she seemed unsatisfied
“Do you think this portal business could be linked to Twig?
Could his destiny be wrapped up in something so big?”
Log just shook his head and shrugged his weary, broad shoulders
“My head’s more a tool for cracking open large boulders”
Delilah chuckled just a bit, then stood up straight and tall
“Whatever’s happening, together we will face it all”
Log did find relief when she renewed her composure

In all their days she’d never run away from adventure
She always faced her enemies with confidence and pride
Just as strong as any of the comrades at her side
Around the time she found her nerve, three friends came walking by
Pebbles parent’s and Leaf’s mother, who let out a sigh
“You’re slow on the best of days but that took way to long
A tantrum doesn’t suit a knight so stubborn and so strong”
Leaf’s mother shook her head and Pebble’s parents laughed out loud
Crystal had a kind expression, and Boulder looked proud
Delilah then explained the letter she received from Hawk
But none of her friends found the news to be too great a shock
Together they had faced many a troubled battlefield
But in their time together none had ever come to yield
But still they’d never known a time when people lived in fear
For even when the portals came, a hero too was near
As they had learned from their parents, and since the days of old
Heroes facing portals was a story often told
The gods were never hesitant to lend heroes a skill
And no one ever feared a life according to their will
But overnight their deities were overcome by fear
Sharing premonitions that something was drawing near
And every seasoned hero knew as well as they did now
Something big was coming, though they knew not when or how
Log looked quietly around at the sleepy little town
Where few he knew of had ever been seen wearing a frown
“There are only a few hundred people or so here
What shall we do if a threat did suddenly appear”
Boulder crossed his arms and voiced his thoughts in a soft voice
“I’d get the children somewhere safer if I had a choice

We may be strong enough to handle portals on our own
But this would be no place to leave them helpless and alone”
Crystal nodded in agreement, looking at her friends
“But where we choose to send them to hide, it really depends
Should we take them to the capital to wait this out
It’s defenses are the strongest, there can be no doubt”
Leaf’s mother impatiently began to wave her hand
“It’s clear that all of you are far too slow to understand
Time is of the essence, we must make our mind up soon
We should have evacuated by this afternoon
Whether it’s a human threat or monsters straight from hell
This village will soon be lost, you should know that as well
This is not the era we were born in anymore
No more hunting monsters, this will be an all out war”
Delilah looked suspiciously upon her speedy friend
“You make it sound as though the world might be about to end”
“I’m not sure at all, but I know this is something new
The gods suspect it, Twig may know it, you should feel it too”
Log, the ever optimistic fellow then spoke up
“Let’s not make a half empty cup of a half full cup
Most of us here in the village have a hero’s rank
Even the town drunk there is a famed high level tank
Of our children, most are ready to start fighting too
Sure there may be some toddlers, but there’s only a few
Twig’s the only kid I worry about in a fight”
The words slipped out but Log remembered his son’s current plight
He took a breath and tried to motivate his friends a bit
“Maybe we’re more ready for this than we would admit
I’m sure Twig if fine as well, he’s already so tough
If we stay and fight, I’m sure our strength would be enough”
For a while the conversation went along as such
Others joined, but as a group they couldn’t decide much
For so long despite countless fights, they’d always lived and thrived
And in the heat of their debate, the king’s envoy arrived

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
