Check out the first six parts of the ballad in Act I - IV.
Act X – The End
Ending #1
I thought to tell a tale of love
but truth wish not to bend
and so instead I spoke of woe
with hearts that could not mend
It happened quite some time ago
when dragons roamed the land
where knight and princess had their place
but never hand in hand
Alas we see our lovers there
their hearts still marred and frail
what shall become of their sweet love
(ahhh) that be another tale
Ending #2
I thought to tell a tale of love
but truth should not dismiss
this tale I spoke did hold much woe
for hearts that found true bliss
It happened quite some time ago
when dragons roamed the land
where knight and princess had their place
perchance with hand in hand
Alas we see our lovers there
their hearts still marred and frail
what shall become of their sweet love
(hmmm) that be another tale
okay, so this has been sitting as a draft since mid-June just waiting for the moment it would get to rear its ugly head...and it is ugly...for it doesn't really leave us with a happily ever after.
i for some odd reason wrote two slightly different potential endings. after writing the first (rather sad one), i couldn't help but write one that was a bit more optimistic. both have had time to stew with me for awhile and i am pretty sure which one will be the final act.
the thing is that while when i first wrote them i was content to have them end just like this, i'm not so sure now. i'm thinking they might need a little more meat...not neccesarily a different ending just more of something... yet at the same time if feels so good to finally be done. i guess i'll have to ponder it all a bit
