QUEST FOR THE NORTHERN CROWN (THE DRAGON'S WELL)

QUEST FOR THE NORTHERN CROWN (THE DRAGON'S WELL)

Further down they go, deeper into the castle
Until they reach the ancient hold
This long drawn out quest wasn't just a hassle
The legends were true that were once told
They're all amazed by the beauty within
These ancient, hallowed walls
Dorian looks around with a silly grin
As he looks and is amazed by it all
The Golden Queen, with her golden hair finally stops at a well
A strange golden glow is seen way down below
"My guests, this is the crown you're looking for"
"The one that has been talked about for ages"
"The crown that the great King Hawkshaw once wore"
"From the legend that was written down in pages."
She looks to the sky and calls out ancient words
A language that hasn't been heard in thousands of years
It sounded like singing to those that heard
The glow from the well turned as bright as the sun
All had to cover their eyes from the brightness in the room
Until the ancient words were said and done
It took some time for their eyes to adjust
And when they did, all the heroes could DL was gasp
There it was, the Northern Crown, on the head of King Hawkshaw's bust
They have found the Northern Crown at last
Dorian removed the crown, felt the weight in his hands
The mightiest king of all was a story that was true
The one who ruled all in the 11 lands
The one who was loyal and from evil he would eschew
The heroes kneeled in the glory of the queen
Her beauty outshines a thousand generations
She smiles again, giving the illusion of a sweet dream
Dorian knew why she ruled such a loyal nation
The quest is almost over, now for the long trip home
Going back to Kingdom where this all started
Back to where war and strife was all they've ever known
Where many moons ago, our heroes from there departed.
