He has slain the Dragon
It lies unmoving before him
The light slowly fading from its emerald eyes
Draped over his weary shoulders
Is the dragon's fiery tongue
Its blistering stranglehold easing as it dies
Dragon blood of the purest blue
Splattered across his scorched chest
His valiant heart still beating at the speed of light
Alongside his sword and scabbard
His heavy shield lies shattered
caught by a single deadly dragontail swipe
Patches of its skin and thorny scales
Have covered his battered arms with scars
A forever present reminder of this epic night
He bows his head in solemn regret
To be standing here victorious
He had to take this magnificent life

Victory always comes at a price, but survival over adversity is always sweet.
