As I complete my 100 deviations (it shows as 113 because of the folder and I don't know how to remove it leaving my deviations unharmed) I thought of my journey here. I have completed one whole year on deviantArt with a 100 deviations. Not only that I have found very amazing artists with beautiful works and amazingly unique capabilites, and all of you have inspired me to be where I am.

Well when I was on a 92, I decided to climb these last few steps to a new benchmark with people who have made my experience here so special. (:

And so came HEROES. The idea actually came to me when I was talking to :icondan-west: (WE SHARE BIRTHDAYSSS! :D) And as he told me his story, I thought I might have a piece about HEROES in life. Unfortunately due to unfavorable circumstances, we could not do this piece.

Another man who inspired me to do this piece, but unfortunately could not be a part of it was :icondadestar: I hope and pray that you get well soon D! Many little pieces of these deviations are dedicated to him to give him strength, faith and hope.

My three busy birds :iconalexlemenestrel:, :iconichrno: and :iconthe-neon-affairs: also could not be a part of it because they are busy with their lives. I wish them all the best with whatever they are doing and I hope they are making me proud.

HEROES

1. My Hero, My Father

Collaborated and compiled with :iconiambadatdrawing: - I have always been very enthusiastic about working with Mark. Mark is an amazing writer who has always inspired me. Thankyou Mark for actually doing this piece with me ^^

HEROES(I)
You lash out your serpent like tongue,
That canes and whacks my back all bare,
You perch your claws on me like 'em vultures,
But for me and you, its an 'ordinary' day.
Even a lion takes care of his offspring,
You're worse than them crocy reptiles,
And you hold me like a swamp,
The more I fight, the deeper I sink.
For is it soothing to ye nerves,
For is it feeding ye inevitable hunger,
That you grill me, on fire, like a tribal, each moment,
and gnaw your bloody teeth on my black veins.
And your greed lays its arms on my mother too,
That now we are cornered in this home, turned a ghost house,
And you, its vampire, our bloodsucker, our murderer,
Walk like a wolf, hiss as a snake, sting like a wasp.
And through the cloud of darkness and a dagger in your hand,
But each scar you cast, it makes me strong, doesn’t kill me,
For every arrow you charge, pushes me to the edge,
The edge of love, happiness, respect, glory.
I envy my son, who will be so protected,
Under your thunderous clou
- This piece is about how a man comes out of the pain and even though there might be anger in his fist and a fire of revenge in his chest, he blows it off with a smile and protects his child from something he faced.

2. My Hero, My Past

Collaborated with :iconheavenlytouch: - Michael has always been someone who did something different. He inspires me to take on difficult challenges as when you complete them, you're the happiest. His pieces are beautiful and have an amazing flow. It was nice to work with him. Thankyou Michael for doing this piece with me ^^

HEROESLost in the echo of silence,
Among the crowd he’s just another man,
Bowing his head lower than his pride,
For he is lost in the search of his identity.
Years passed and so people changed,
But he was still the same,
Someone who could believe in himself,
Someone who could only look up to him.
People fell in love and broke up,
People did drugs and were rehabilitated,
People consumed alcohol, hangovers passed,
But he was busy polishing his stars.
He knew they danced in pubs,
Getting laid in a ladies tub,
But he was not a shine to be eclipsed,
By the thought of these bad trips.
He fell in love, a love so true,
A love so deep, in the thirst of love,
And the feelings in his mind grew,
Like a tree near the river bank.
His heart broke and bled,
But the shards were pieces he fixed up,
There are no scars to make on his hand,
For his heart did bleed, but his spirit didn’t shake.
Cornered and bullied, it made him strong,
‘Cause his intellect is far from their imagination,
And so l
- The poem recognizes a persons Past to be something that he/she should learn a lesson from, get inspired, heal and move forward. The Past should never hold you back because "what you had" is never "what you can have".

3. My Hero, My Future

Collaborated with :iconirrendernarr42: - Fredric has always inspired me to learn more. He is a box of knowledge which is always open. It is always nice to hold conversations and learn so much more from his deviations. Thankyou Fredric for doing this piece with me ^^

HEROESFrank, a skinny boy in his early twentees, brown eyes with emerald contact lenses, long hair, mole above the lip, eyeliner pulled upwards, holding a cigarette in his hand.
Bells ring. A guy enters the coffee shop, tall, blonde and long hair, dressed in blacks. "Late again, are you, Ajax?" says a man in short torn clothes, wearing shades on, skinny and tattooed, eye liner and eyebrows pulled upwards, smoking a cigarette. He has a mole above his lip, wearing green contact lenses and a fresh tattoo on his arm that reads ‘Daddys.’
"Do you even know how to smoke that Francis?" Ajax pulls a chair and sits.
"Call me Frank..."
Ajax closely notices his friend who has changed in the past 8 months. He notices the tattoos, his bony body, the bony body and his emerald green eyes.
"So, tell me, since when do you smoke Francis? It’s been a while since we actually met and it seems I missed a lot…"
Frank pulls back and rocks on his chair, puts his feet on the table "Oh just rec
- This short story is about how you should follow your own path, write your own fate and build your own future. Just think of yourself as something successful, not someone else, and work hard to reach there...Life is a challenge for everyone, visualize your path and set your own trail, so when She sees you from up there, she is proud of you.

4. My Hero, My Superhero

Collaborated with :iconfiction-art-author: - Page has always been someone who inspires me to dream. His deviations and his YouTube channel www.youtube.com/feed/UCWsQwfQ0… have always been impressive and always has something "new and good" to offer. Thankyou Cam for doing this piece with me ^^

HEROESThe gates of darkness never would have found such sinners, who bleed holes to the world of ours, why do they do so? Well they have their reasons, revenge for themselves, or for someone the love, heartbreak, love, regrets and many more. And to save the world and maintaining the balance in the 2 worlds, Daniel was born. Daniel was a man in his mid twenties, tall, slim with bright yellow eyes, carrying long black hair with a natural blue streak. He discovered that he can shape-shift and breathes ice when he turned 18. But how did he develop these rare characteristics? Well as per the explanation given by his father, being a surgeon that his mother had consumed a very unique element, which reacted with the child’s blood cells. The mother however had a different blood group and so, she was not able to survive, but luckily, Daniel did.
Coming back to the story, well he had sent back many spirits who came back from the gates of hell, but lately, there were no cases he could detect. He f
- This might be the first time I actually did a superhero fiction. I always thought of doing one, but this was my first ever. This is about a generous man in everyone's life who saves them no matter who they are and what they do.

5. My Hero, My Inspirations

Collaborated with :icond-a-skelly: - Delice has always inspired me to try something new. Her ability to say so much in a few words is something that I really love. She is a beautiful writer and an amazing person. I personally never thought she would have the time to do this piece with me. Thankyou Delice for doing this piece with me ^^

HEROES1.
Heroic traits abide in us
Locked deep within our psyche
Heroes of history had their doubts
Courage arose, made them shout.
It’s a fighter that has set asleep,
Into the dreams of selfish wants and needs,
A dormant fighter, like the rabbit, never wins,
A fighter is slow, turtle, and sings heroic hymns.
2.
There is a gentle kind of hero
Those who quietly lives their life
Acts of kindness, a willing ear,
Quietly done, over many years.
For a hero, he ne’er pleads fame,
And as they sing to his glory,
He cleans out darkness, the right way,
For it’s his dream, to see a brighter day.
3.
His fight can be silent or loud,
His fight can be blindfolded or showcased,
His fight can be thin air or dense,
Either, he fights, it’s a positive consequence.
Heroes remembered with gratitude
Their deeds in time immortal
So many lives and ideals saved
Way forward for us willingly paved.
And his fight ends when humanity smiles,
His fight ends when happiness surrounds it,
His fight ends
- This piece is about everyones inspirations. It is a tribute to the heroes who have lived, heroes because of whom we are free today, and the heroes who still fight for a brighter future.

6. My Hero, My King

Collaborated with :iconaneirin-aryon: - Well Justin has been my biggest inspiration and my best friend. Strange how your idol is somewhat like your best friend right? Well it's the best feeling ever! He is the one who actually brought me here. I would be someone who would write depressing poetry and tear it apart, and my sculptures and art would be something that is on the frames, which would just go ignored. Justin actually believed I had the potential to shine and he is a true HERO. Thankyou Justin for doing this piece with me ^^

HEROESRhys and Rhodri are two soldiers in the army of Lord Llewellyn. They are wearing a leather hauberk with chain-mail, simple cone helmet, Rhodri wearing a winter cloak. Rhodri is new to the clan and the army.
Rhys: "For sooth 'ave ye heard Milord Llewellyn is due here at Aberfraww from his meeting with the English"
Rhodri: The brother of Daffyd ye talk of? Whispers tell me his spouse to be trapped. What brings milord here?
Rhys: "Aye, Daffydd's better. Llewellyn, King of Wales. His wife to be was captured by pirates, a shame for Llewellyn and his father in Lord Montefort."
Rhodri: War hath ne'er been a solution to problem. Shame ye say, aye?
Rhys: Well Lord Montefort bravely opposed the King of England, but little good has it done him. Now our King and his ally have earned the wrath of King Henry.
This war be not our choice. Tis the choice of Henry and his wolf of a son, Edward.
Rhodri: 'With Daffyd sharing arms with Henry?'
Rhys: "No, at the last Daffydd has returned to our own,
- This piece talks about a person, a king, who was not blinded by attaining power and wealth. He thought for his citizens wellbeing, and was a tgrue hero. This piece is a tribute to him.

7. My Hero, My Present (My Man in the Mirror)

People say they like my dark pieces. I personally don't feel they're that great, I feel they are too exaggerated sometimes. Well this piece is dedicated to someone who has been there with me forever and always to wipe my tears, the man in the mirror, my reflection.

HEROESFaced the disses, faced the pain,
He's the only one who says my name,
He believes I will achieve what I aim,
And I believe we're just the same.
We stand together, facing each other,
his tears roll down, so do mine, together,
but he looks up into my eyes, oh mother,
what beautiful eyes he has, unlike someother.
He says,"Did someone say bitchy-things again?
Did someone break your heart again?
And if these tears don't dry up, the rain,
I will lick up these tears and gulp up your pain."
He's seen me dance, seen me sing,
He's held me when I lost my precious things,
He's held me in his arms, what peace he brings,
He's the one who loves me, he calls me 'the bling king'
And every moment he asks me to fly, not cry a river,
You fix me when I make errors, your smile scares the terror,
You are the most dearest, my only, only mine, dearest,
You, oh my love, my hero, the man in the mirror.


8. My Hero, The Woman

A woman always influences our lives no matter what form she is in. This is a tribute to the woman who has bared so much for us. She has risen from a time where she had no rights to a place where she is taking over the world. She is a fighter. But alas, some scares remain as many women still go through a lot of pain, and we can help them by motivating them or helping them heal. She is a HERO. She has been one in my life, and I dedicate it to her, and every other woman.

HEROESBirth was not her only duty,
she took my responsibility,
and she fights everyday, she may regret it,
but she never forgets it, she'll never sit,
like a horse she's on her toes,
her job is made difficult cuz of hoes,
Useless- paired, child- scared,
face- scarred yet love is not barred,
she's my hero,
she's my mother.
The soldier to my emptiness,
as if she's born to cure my sadness,
she's held my hand in the dark
and walked me to the path of spark,
and every stone I tried to purposely fall on,
she covered it with her cushion,
When hope was gone, she pulled it's ears,
and got it back to me for so many years,
she's my hero,
she's my best friend.
Her problems and issues set afar,
cuz if you think them over they wont be ajar,
so she laughs it off, and she teaches me too,
to live, laugh and love, and be satisfied, I do,
For the fastest way to heal, is what you showed me,
That to waste my tears on someone is useless to be,
So I just laugh it off and see it fly,
You taught me how to laugh from


So that concludes the piece HEROES right here. HEROES for me are someone who have lived like a Hero, inspired many people, or have been inspired by someone, or someone who fights everyday to live a happier life ahead, someone who has fought a lions fight, someone who has been a hero to someone, saved a life, or made it better.

We should all be HEROES, we can all be HEROES.
