    Found this video while being bored and searched up a whole intro word for word (Its Favremysabre’s last rainbow quest intro) here is the thing I searched up:
    A hero’s journey virtuous and brave a story told throughout generations passed on as the pinnacle of all that is true and righteous a hero’s journeys will guide and forge the next a hero’s journey whose quest is to overcome even the best to see the rays of light shine past the storm to work past the dark and toward the light in which a rainbow shines so bright but a hero is who of which will stand and face that of which seems unbreakable they are not necessarily unbreakable themselves and still some stand some fall and some will risk it all the hero is not the sword they are the person and the shield the safety of what lies behind while they move forward the hero's journey is one filled with adventure the rises and the falls but this journey will one day come to a end and their quest turns to myth, all good thing comes to a end eventually but to that end comes a new beginning, a new hero, a new chapter, a new story. What will your story be? Why do we seek them? Perhaps the story is the quest perhaps the hero seeks because they must not because they can a hero's journey is just that their journey what makes them a hero is the people who believed in them a hero’s journey rises and falls their quest for the light in which the rainbow calls my journey can not end not until i face that of which, Is unbreakable.
