Long ago in ages past
A young knight met his destiny
Amid the ancient forest depths
That hold their secrets silently

He’d been sent out by his lord
To solve a pressing mystery
That plagued the people living there
And brought them pain and misery

So he traveled night and day
Garbed in his finest livery
To try and find whatever source
Had caused this great audacity

A fortnight did he journey to
Where his future waits uncertainly
And the brave knight carried forth
Towards his fate unknowingly

He found the creature in its lair
Where it regarded him uncaringly
That was until the faithful knight
Charged into battle daringly

He speared the creature through the chest
With a swift blow made unerringly
But as the creature died he dealt
A wound that bled so horribly

So there it was that both did die
Under the golden autumn majesty
And there their bodies lay untouched
No soul to ever know this travesty
