The Brave Knight

 

The knight stumbled into the dark cave

Braving the dragon that dwells in pitch black darkness

Sword by his side, dubbed Determination

With his shield, called Courage

 

The knight felt his guts shiver

Waves of hungry leeches sucking at his will

He felt like his stomach could curl up into nothing

 

The knight faced the mighty dragon

Like a pipsqueak standing up against a vicious bully

How the dragon took lives of fellow humans

How the bully took his money and cornered him

 

ROAR! BOOM!

 

The dragon spat scorching flame at the knight

Shield up high, the knight endured it with Courage

The dragon backed up, a little

Confused

How did the knight survive the blast?

 

The pipsqueak seized the chance when the bully was staggered

Then took a swing at the dragon

Only to be hurt

Silenced

And crippled by the dragon’s tail whip

 

CRACK

 

His bones cracked

His shield snapped

He lost Courage

 

The pipsqueak wanted to be in a shell

Where no one could bother him

 

With his sword, the knight gathered his strength and stood up

Exhausted, it looked like it would take miles to reach the dragon

With determination filling up to heal the wound

He charged toward the dragon and climbed on it’s back

 

The dragon shook violently

Like an earthquake

The ground trembled, even split under it’s feet

The cave rumbled and grumbled

As the dragon tumbled and fumbled

Rocks crashing at the dragon from above like meteors

 

CRICK

 

The knight managed to find the nape, and stab it with his sword

Until his armor shined in red

With a keen eye, he noticed that a boulder was going to fall

And block his exit

And trap him here in the dark cave

Forever

 

The knight climbed off, and rushed to the light

Just as he was in the sun, the dragon got him by the leg

But luckily, the boulder fell down right on time

 

And there it lay

When the bully was defeated

With it’s claw sticking out as a memory

The pipsqueak would always remember

When he defeated his bully that day
