The Perilous Realm

   The knights ride off into the valley
Knowing that they may never return
Their hearts are heavy as they leave
Filled with much concern

For there’s a thousand obstacles to
Overcome and a thousand ways to die
They must slay the Dragon and return
To the King with the Dragons eye

First task is to make it through
The valley of the walking dead
Knowing as they travel many lives
Will be lost and much blood will be bled

They must also survive the beast of the
Forest of the demon shadows
So they stop to pray and vow to
Honor their oath of the sacred rose

The kingdom is dependent upon the
Knights, the Dragon must be destroyed
For if the knights fail life in the kingdom
May become a thing of void

Their quest is to catch the Dragon as he
Sleeps just beyond the ancient elm
In his cave at the top of fire mountain
So begins the journey of the perilous realm
