The Main Character Act Quotes

“..because the rage of my free will burns
brighter than any star-bound fate
And so I won’t step back
even if I have been implied unworthy
For there is much left to define
and much to be given meaning
So when they ask my name
shaking dust off from my sword
I speak of an obscured sun
and set out for another season
to set the world ablaze.”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“I will still save the city
And not just because of any
Godwritten prophecy
And not some divine decree
Because the rage of my free-will burns
Brighter than any star-bound fate”

Now wants to be awaken”

& I wonder what to say;
Whether of storms

Of pain and power,

Of the battles that no one saw
or of wars witnessed by stars”

Words begin to part

“In the yells of excitement
I ride into the unknown
fearlessly through the glen
But i can't shake off the feeling
that I am being gazed down
In an open assessment
A swiftness shifts the air
And I hear a sharp cry
As shadow of a vast hawk
Sweeps across the valley
My eyes rove the sky
And pulling the reins
i follow it in its flight
As it circle and dove
I outstretch my arm
To have it take its place
And with a single beat
of its fierce wings
It descended with grace
Its talons grip my wrist
And the hawk met my eyes
Unblinking and ancient
And my eyes travel
To a rolled parchment
That’s tied on its legs
With a shimmering thread
Recognising the unmistakable seal
I unravel the message,
Its a call from the guardians
And I am invited,
to attend my fate.”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“They ask my name
But I don't yet have one
Or may be i am just
not sure how to say it
I would fondly tell stories
But i don't have any words
They ask my place
But i don’t belong anywhere
Uncertain if i am new or forgotten
Unclaimed by echo of any identity
I don't have any anthem or a meaning”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“Crossing millions of years
A light has appeared
In front of the tunnel
emerging out of the mist
A shape enters into the life
As I slowly start to exist
You may call it birth
And this is the beginning.”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“To appease his arrogance
To debase the souls
Who once feared him
And against him, had now allied
To validate his victory
in their hollowed eyes
To carve a lesson into those
Who ever dared to cross him
To stage a boastful exercise
to punish and torment me
And to turn me into an object of ridicule
The devil steps out into the darkness
And challenges me for a duel

To confront his conceit
To honor my pride
To show the souls
Who believed in me
And became my allies
To give them the fight
And see its fire burning
In their hollowed eyes
And to stand for truth until i die
I accept the challenge for the duel
And so from the shadows, I emerge into the light.”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“I just wanted to be
a part of something
And in my eagerness to find
a place for belonging
I never paused to question
And with my whole identity,
suddenly snatched
today once again i ask
Who am I?”

“The firebird in my vision
raises its head
And opens its wings–
Iridescent and vibrant
Telling me it is my sign to shine
My time to rise
In grand event of things
my turn to be
The Main Character
Of this story.”
― Nivedita Roy, The Main Character Act

“Recognising the unmistakable seal
I unravel the message,
Its a call from the guardians

In a great epiphany
words begin to part
And tears trickle down my cheek
For the god that I had once lost
that I had been looking for everywhere
was all along, in my heart.”
