A Voyage
Once there was a man who had plenty of courage.
And once he set off for a voyage.
He owned a small ship rather being someone much more than a rich.
There was also an elegant woman on board whom the captain
always adored.
The ship was now ready for the long-long voyage and had enough of
load.
Still luckily the ship was designed in the offensive mode.
The fellow often caught one or two whales on the way,
Water was glowing eerily and the bay was still far away.
When suddenly from nowhere a Siren (Monster) unexpectedly
appeared!
‘Unlucky was the man, the captain’ everyone groaned.
Each pirate took hold of a bow and arrow, a club of gold and the
sharpest sword, and their ship slowed.
The captain was now a little bit worried, not of himself but of his fair
maiden and all the other pirates whom he allied.
Defenders shot one on one arrow, attacked with swords; clubs were
just thrown at the Siren like stones.
No effect that made on Monster which seemed to be like doom. Just
when from somewhere a mystical staff appeared as if a boon.
The staff was shining brightly like a star.
On it was inscribed “The Druid Riders’ Staff” who still settle and raid
but very far.
The endless battle was still going on without anyone’s will.
The Siren had ruined the ship badly.
The battle was like a hammer on an anvil.
The captain took hold of the staff and read the message that came
with it.
On it was written some magical words.
Then the captain recited the words, raising the staff in the air.
The captain told the words thrice.
And this resulted to be very-very nice.
The staff now glowed like a Star; still very old.
It was like a unique epic.
Now left of the ship was just a dozen bricks.
The staff worked or not no-one knows, because the wind still blows.
The ship still rows.
Was that staff enchanted old?
No-one knows, but it was carved with gold.
