The Road Homeward.




Heed my Call!
O Traveler Weary.
For I shall now tell,
of fates dark and dreary.
Of gigantic Dragons and courageous Knights,
Of shining Paladins,
and glorious fights.

Heed my Call!
For now I begin,
a tale of Virtue,
and endless Sin.

I was a traveler,
much as you.
In times gone by,
and before you knew.
And I had roamed,
to lands, far and near.
To ruins undiscovered,
and caverns you fear.

Pay your heed for I tell you know,
of what I sought and what I found.

In search of Glory,
had I left my home.
Unaware of the danger,
and the creatures that roam.

But who could think of my Fate and my plight.
For I found within moments, myself in a fight.

And what I faced,
is faced by few.
An eldritch creature,
with armors of scale,
and a burning nature.

Whoosh, blew its flame,
as I dived to my side.
And Whooo beat the wing,
as it took to the tide.

"Come", I bellowed,
for I feared nought.
So in I jumped,
without mind and thought.

Swinged my blade,
and I forced my parry.
As I read its moves,
ever so quick and wary.

Days went by,
but I did not yield.
For it reared its head,
and I strengthened my wield.

Down ripped its claw,
threatening to shear.
And wide came its maw,
no flame, no fear.


And a fated miss,
did I struck that day.
For my blade went flying,
Out my sight and out of way.

It scratched and bit, it clawed and spit.
Then fell I did,
for I was weary
And fall I did to its killing hit.

With glory lost,
I fell to the heath.
As my soul did carry
to the Realm of Death.

I was a Hero,
Vain and Proud.
Blind to the senses,
wrapped in a shroud.

And you know what happened
The tale onwards.
As I stand here lonely,
Haunting....the road homeward...
