I Was Once a Child...

I was once a child of peace...
A child with friends...
A child with a hone...
A child with with a family...
I was child who knew not war...
Until they came...

It was because of them...
I became what I am today...

Stripped of my innocence...
I learned to hunt...
I learned to fight...
I learned to make weapons...
What was once a child of peace...
Is now a child of war...

Worlds on fire...
Starlight glints on armor steel...
Forged for salvation...

Hear this, Pirates of Zebes...
You have changed me...
You have forged me...
I am coming...
You will be terrified...

With the fires of hell...
And the light of heaven...
Retribution will be made...
For the death you have caused...
Eye for an eye...
Tooth for a tooth...
I will not rest until blood has been shed...
and all has been paid...

Ah... The ballad of the fair Chozo warrior Samus Aran...

Part of the lyrics comes from "Children of the MJOLNIR" By: Elena of Red vs Blue. I reminds me a lot of how kids are trained at a young age to become fighters, especially with what the Spartans had to go through. In a way, Samus had to do the same thing before she could get the suit. I think all of us had to go through some thing before getting what we really wanted...

This is a Metroid-Eu exclusive, but since it was just too... beautiful, I had to post up a screenshot version of this for all to see. The picture of young Samus I did during the summer, and the collage of Samus in different poses were from Nintendo's galleries in Prime and Echoes. As for the background... I don't know how many hours that one took...

Anyway, if you guys want this, register at M-eu's site (Link in my gallery) and help support the largest European Metroid database!

Policy with Backgrounds: Most of these I have created with concept and fanarts. If you do want to use it for personal use, contact me, and I'll send you one right away. Right now I am putting up the "SAMPLE" watermark due to issues I have been having with people who are saying that it is their work and not crediting me... Even taking the task of editing out my Silver Falcon watermark... Do not test my patience!!! Oh yeah, if you see the Metroid-Eu logo on it somewhere, forget it because that is a member's only background and you aren't getting it from me unless you are an exclusives member...
