Lyrics The Near Future V. Meeting - I Fight Dragons

The Near Future V. Meeting

Finally, as the summer draws to a close
The boy returns one last time to the spot
Where he first saved the girl
Having pushed himself to the breaking point
Having spent the entire summer searching
In vain for any trace of her, he has resolved
That it is finally time for him to move on
To give up his search once and for all
And to return to the real world
He sits on the hood of his car at sunset
His gaze lingering on the horizon
At first, it seems like his eyes are playing
Tricks on him, but he thinks he can just
Barely make out a figure approaching
In the distance.
As the figure continues
To draw nearer and grow in his vision
He leaps up, barely willing to believe his eyes
It’s her
The boy and the girl slowly approach one another
Until they are close enough to touch
The boy opens his mouth to speak but before he
Can say anything, the girl cuts him off
She explains that she is from another world
She came here with her grandfather on that
Fateful night, but they were ambushed
And her grandfather was taken prisoner
She was only able to escape because the boy came to her rescue
She knows where her grandfather is being held
But ever since that night she has been
Completely unable to access her powers
She hadn’t wanted to drag the boy any further into it
For his own safety.
But after a summer spent powerless
Searching in vain for a way to rescue her grandfather
She has run out of options.
She needs the boy’s help
Nodding, he agrees to help her
He takes her hands in his and as soon as they touch
The same symbol on both of their hands flare to life
With eerie blue light.
For some unknown reason, they
Are now able to access the powers that neither
Of them have been able to use these past months
Unable to explain why the powers have returned
They decide that if they are going to attempt a rescue
They had better move quickly
