“To Each their own Destiny
In a swordsmith village far far north
ruled by shogunate, lived the executioner's hearth
There dwelled a girl with a firm resolve
Who decided that women should birth and only men should swords absolve?
In a world with powers and abilities grand
Where people born and boasted their quirks with a stand
A boy born normal and devoid of abnormalities
Who decided he can't be the hero others declared with their peculiarities?
In a world where mountains are might and pierce the skies
And humans are frail and are at mercy of the caverns cries
One man stood up to their might and awe
Who decided he can't conquer them and dig a path through the heavenly abode
The world is skewed and powerful dominates the weak
Conventional is normal, and anything else is meek
Those who dare will prevail over the norm
They are the ones who decide their fate and destiny beyond”
