This was created for the Swan Song Contest. A swan's song was described as a dieing farewell, most commonly attuned to heroes of old or the death scenes of Shakespeare's characters (do they ever die?). I've had an interesting experience with the failing health of my grandfather these past few years and it made me think of this.

The final chance an old hero has of passing on his story, and what he has learned from it... I think that constitutes as a swan's song if ever I heard one

Enjoy and please tell me what you think!
