THE QUEST FOR THE NORTHERN CROWN (AMBUSH ON DARK ROADS)
They all rode on, barely speaking any words
Only the sounds of hoofs broke through the silence
They were all on edge, with very tired nerves
Expecting at any time some sort of violence
Dorian took the lead as the other two fell behind
He kept scanning the dangerous road ahead
He had a million thoughts on his mind
And then that’s when Cardigan spoke up and said
“What’s that sound?” It was faintly heard
Whispers that kept on saying their names
“You three ‘heroes’ will get what you deserve’”
“When you all burn up in flames”
And then out of nowhere, shadows jumped on the road
Brandishing green swords of fire and cloaks
Alaya jumps off her horse, with her staff exposed
Cardigan jumps off his horse too, eyes full of hope
“Ah, It’s been a long time since I had a good fight!”
Cardigan laughs as Dorian draws his sword
Sparks of clashing swords light up the lonely night
Screams and oaths rise in the cool air
As one by one the cloaked ones are cut down
And just like that, they were no longer there
Just the cloaks they wore were on the ground
Their bodies disappeared without even a trace
As all there kneeled with labored breaths
They were confused by such a strange place
Who were these cloaked ones that attacked them and why?
Unanswered questions still remain as they hunt for the crown
Will they be successful or will they die?
It’s such a dangerous road that they choose to go down
They continue to wonder what will be in store
As they go down Shadow’s road with no words said
They still have to get to the Black Shores
And who really knows what lies ahead.
