Shadowed Mewtwo

(Well, actually just one hummingbird)
Another English Project! Yay?
This time we have to do an epic... And I'm being the very opposite of silly with this(*sister snorts with laughter*). Uh... yeah. ^^;; So, with the urging of my sister BlackMew, I'm posting my epic, called, Epic! :D It'll come in three parts, so enjoy.
~*~Epic~*~
I am not anybody special,
or gifted, or unique,
so I can’t understand how
I’m the main character
of this epic, for they are
usually written for heroes.
I am no hero.
My story is an odd one,
not so wonderful as others’,
and just a bit odd for even my tastes,
but all the same, it is mine.
I must live with that fact forever.
Many will not believe my tale,
for it is very unbelievable,
and perhaps… it is all together fake?
Entirely?
I can’t remember anymore.
It happened so long ago, I really can’t.
You must forgive me for this.
However, I will tell you, kind stranger,
all I can remember, and then some,
to entertain you as we wait here,
on this log in the middle of nowhere,
having nothing better to do
with our time anyway,
of my adventures.
I will tell you everything.
~*~The Curse of the Turtle~*~
First I remember going to Hawaii.
It is very nice to go to Hawaii.
There is lots of green, and food,
as well as strange animals.
(I have a thing for animals.)
I was barely a teenager then,
full of spirit and mischief,
and often getting myself into trouble.
My parents had never been
to this tropical paradise
where fish swam by the thousands
and birds and beasts swarmed about the land.
Hawaii was popular for a reason.
We loved our cruise there,
Though I must say I was too eager
to see Hawaii to enjoy it,
and spent much of my time away from the parties
out on the deck, searching for a distant island.
I had never been on a boat before,
and found the whole thing terribly exciting.
I watched dolphins leap out of the water,
their glistening wet bodies very graceful,
and grew even more eager to see
what lived in the tropics.
When we reached there, I was out in a heartbeat,
ready to explore my new surroundings.
The air was warm and smelled sweet,
And the wet sand clung to my bare feet.
There was lots of green,
So much green,
That it took my breath away.
Flowers dotted this mass of green,
and a lizard crawled among these,
looking very cute,
at least to me.
Being the idiot I am,
I decided to try and catch the lizard.
I lunged for it,
But it easily escaped,
Vanishing into the mass of green
From which it came.
Showing my stupidity even further,
I ran after it,
eager to see what the thing looked like.
My parents never noticed I was gone.
After stumbling about through the vegetation,
I finally realized I would never get that
weird little lizard, and thus chose to go back.
Yet, as I looked about, I found myself lost,
and unable to do what I wanted.
So, my brain still not desiring to work,
I chose a random direction and started walking.
When I was very much tired of walking,
I sat upon a stone to rest.
I paid the stone no heed as it squirmed,
or as it shouted, or as it struggled.
Only when the thing sank its teeth
into my leg did I give it my attention,
but still only half way, finding myself
in an interesting daydream at the moment.
“Child! Young man! Hellooo!” it hollered,
squirming again. I looked down at it,
the fact that a turtle had spoken to me
not registering at all.
“Hi,” I said dully, then chuckled
at a joke in my daydream.
“Hehe… Elephants in pink underwear…”
The turtle looked at me oddly,
Then began to squirm again,
And managed to throw me off.
I lay perfectly still on the ground,
Picturing the elephants,
And staring up at the sky dreamily.
“Yes, that would be a sight to see…”
I jumped as the turtle bit me again,
And looked at me crossly.
“Look boy,” he said, “I don’t know who you are,
but you can’t just sit on me like that.
You must pay…”
I lay back on the ground,
Enjoying the trees and clear blue sky,
As the elephants danced in pink underwear,
All through my mind.
I didn’t pay attention to the turtle.
The turtle suddenly sat down on my stomach,
Frowning, which I didn’t know
A turtle had the ability to do.
“What?” I asked, the elephants finally leaving.
“You must pay for sitting on me,”
snapped the turtle, eyeing me.
“I curse you!”
We sat for several moments staring
At each other, the turtle still
On my stomach, and myself still on my back.
Nothing happened.
“Well?” I demanded, growing impatient.
The turtle nodded, as though I
Had said something it agreed with.
“I curse you,” it repeated.
“K,” I shrugged, then shoved
the turtle off.
“No! Wait! You can’t just leave me here!”
pleaded the reptile,
looking up at me miserably.
“Why not? I found you here, didn’t I?”
“Yes, but I need your help!”
It turned out the turtle was a person,
Cursed with a curse only a
Very mentally messed up person could make,
And left to die in
the most luxurious island to exist.
Feeling sorry for the turtle,
I proceeded to help him,
By collecting a group of “men”
And “borrowing” a motorboat
To search for the one who had made the curse.
As we whipped away from Hawaii
At lightning speed,
I turned to look sadly
At the vacation I never got to have,
And watched the owner of the boat
Wave us farewell.
(Though his fists were clenched
and he wasn’t saying
very pleasant things)
