<u>An Unremembered Tale</u>


    <u> </u>


    I stood alone amongst friends,The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    As we faced down the beast,


    Fell were its claws and dire was its renown


    Yet we had no more fear of it but


    For the lives already taken.


    I stood alone amongst the dead


    And gazed deep into the maw of fate


    Which sought to bring me to an end.


    Twas not courage that bade me raise my shield,


    Nor valour that made me swing my sword


    But defiance at the fate that awaits


    Those with too much adventure born.
