Once there was a knight
A very brave knight
He fought for his kingdom
For his mother land
With valor and honor
The people respected him
Favored by the king
Loved by the princess
Then one day,
A dragon appear!
Breathing fire!
Leaving the land scorched!

Upon learning this
The brave knight is angered!
"How there thee dragon!"
The brave knight roared
Armed with a sword, lance and shield
The brave knight ventured forth
Taking his trusted steed
He travels the land
After a long ardous journey
He arrived at the dragon's lair!

Entering the lair,
He found it empty!
"What is this?"
He asked himself
Looking around he found nothing
"Where could the dragon be?"
He asked again
"Matters not, I shall slay it upon its return!"
He waited and waited
Not long after the dragon returned!
Flying in the sky with its magnificent wings

Seeing this, he put down his shield
Then with incredible strenght
He throws his lance!
The dragon dodges
But its left wing is hit!
Bang!!! The dragon falls
Raging, the dragon roars!
The brave knight unafraid
Confronts the beast!
"Your tyranny ends here, dragon!"
The brave knight declared

Fight! The brave knight fights!
Slash! Trust! Slash!
Unceasing attacks!
Attack! He never stops!
Dodge! He dodges left and right!
Roll! He roll to the side
Barely dodging the dragon's flame!
But the knight knows no fear!
Attack! Again and again!
Before long the dragon falls!
Trust! He pierces its heart
Roar!!! The dragon's last cry
It falls... dead!

Victorious the brave knight slashes!
Roll! The dragon's head rolls!
"Time to return. Everyone is waiting."
The brave knight said
Taking the dragon's head
He mount his steed
Galoping like the wind
He hurries back,
Travelling a narrow road atop a cliff
But then...
Arrows! Hundreds of them!
Despite his effort he couldn't dodge
Hit! He was hit!

Peppered with arrows
He fall off the cliff!
Along with him the dragon's head
And his trusted steed
Before falling he saw a man
He couldn't believe it...
"How could it be him?"
He asked himself, unbelieving
The face he saw...
Is his best friend, the silver knight!
Betrayed! He was betrayed!
Before long, he lost consciousness
He falls, in the river below
Dead or alive, no one knows...
