Viva La Vida- Not quite happy with it but there is nothing I can do. Sorry for the run on sentences and the amount of description. A rather short story/ scene that incorporates the content of the song and makes me wonder why I wrote the ending as I did, felt right I guess. Hope it makes any sort of sense.
The king stood high upon the cliff. The walls of his castle had long ago crumpled around him. His crown drowned in the crashing waves below. Yet there was something noble about the silent, desolate figure gazing toward the horizon. A hero worshiped one instant, a tyrant despised the next. He was a concept like a painting on the wall, no one could see what he lived through. And as the people turned from him they did not see that it was not his fault.
He weathered it all. The hatred of the subjects, the murmurs of advisers right outside his hearing, the daggers of friends. He danced through the lies of his reputation, fleeing from his pain and the injustice of the human mind. But it all caught him in the end.
Now he stands there still, and thoughts turn upon themselves. To him the wind is blame, and the sea is steel and pikes, the curses of a thousand souls. He doesn't see the stone crumbling, falling into the watery abyss. All alone within an eternal nightmare he prays for a resolution to it all. His hopes fly as doves, but in the human eye they turn to ravens. The hopes fade unheeded and I am the only one who knows.
I start running as the cliff shivers, the rock desiring to plunge into the sea, taking memories captive with them, I'm almost there, the kings eyes are lake water, glazed over with the fog of remembrance, but in the light of life brilliant as sapphire.
It's not too late he can still be saved.
But I am late. The cliff shatters, and the king....
Big brother, look at the dove feather I found while cleaning!
The voice dredges me out of the murk of sleep and I sit up looking blearily at my brother. A pitch black feather is clutched in his fist and the lake blue eyes shine as bright as sapphires.

A lost soul freed~
Darkness, darkness was consuming my heart and soul. That day that started it all, it was like a thorn in my heart, infecting it with blackness. After that day, I had changed completely. The once loving heart I had, was now evil and cruel, slowly becoming black. I hated myself for my cowardice after that, knew it was my fault, but it can no longer be undone. That day had started to turn me to a lost soul, and by the end of the week I was one. Now I probably will never feel love again. 'Sister, wake up, we told the boys we'd meet them tonight, remember?' My sister looked at me and got up, ready quickly. Silently we sneaked out of the house and made our way to the barn. A horrible choking noise was coming from one of the stalls. We hurried forward and looked in, to be met with our mother holding our boyfriends hearts in her hand. Their frightened eyes searched ours, clearly meaning we had to run. But... we couldn't. 'Mother, what are you doing?' Her eyes showed nothing but evil and menace. 'I have to do this children, these stable boys are to poor and filthy for you. You deserve better, I'm gonna marry you into the royal line, the Kings grateful you saved his only daughter. You'll thank me for this later, trust me.' And with that, she crushed the hearts of our beloveds, and the fell to the floor as the remaining dust filtered through her fingers to the floor. Shocked we ran, unable to bear it. Days later, we were hiding, under a hollow tree, when mother found us again. Her eyes were blazing with cruelty and hate, as she strangled my only sibling to death with magic. Me? Well, I couldn't even help her. Instead, I ran, like a coward. My eyes snapped open, the memory was so painful, and I found myself on the forest floor. Ever since that day, I had vowed to come back and avenge the deaths that happened in that single week. That's what I was doing now, hunting mother down. Suddenly, a twig snapped loudly and I turned towards the sound as a figure stepped out of the dark forest(The forest is like Mirkwood). "Hello miss, what's a young lad like you doing out here? Do I know you? What's your name?" This boy seemed annoying, but I could manipulate him, maybe? "I have none." He looked at me wierdly, "Is that so? Anyway I could help ya?" There was a pause, as if I was thinking. "Actually, yes. I'm on a sort of quest, you could say. A big storing looking man like you should be able to help me, shouldn't he?" The interested fool instantly fell for it. Days later, we found ourselves facing my mother in the stables. "Hello daughter, I'm presuming your back to beg for forgiviness?" My voice was cold, "No." At that answer, the boy rose into the are struggling to breath. "Enough of your silly tactics mother, you're dead to me." As I said it I pulled out my sword, "Is that how you want to do this?" The boy dropped to the ground, why didn't I get his name? We circled each other like cats with our swords, then I rushed forward, and slashed my sword, to only be blocked by her. For a few minutes, it went on like that, both of us equally matched, until I was pinned, a sword at my neck, "Any last words before you have a sword stuck in your neck?". But that boy had sneaked up behind her and distracted her. Taking a chance, I ripped her heart out of her chest, allowing me to control her. We proceeded to take her to a secret prison for magical burns like us. With her magic taken from her and her in prison, my soul felt free. "Thank you, for putting up with me. What is your name anyway?" He looked at me, "who knows..." After that we went back into the forest, only seen from rumours and tales. That is my story, and I'm glad that It's been told. Don't forget me, please.

(Ooh I tried to write a story without telling the names of anyone in it, was it good? Anyway, based off of the song called "Nemo".)
