Comforting Confrontation
Greetings brave knights from far
and wide,
when in our lands have you no reason
to hide.
You came in hurting, injured and
bleeding,
without help, there is no chance
in succeding.
Out swung the doors, revealing the
halls,
Swords and armour and sheilds on
the walls.
A ceiling as high as the sun could
rise,
'tis truly magic to your weary
eyes.
Out came a man with his sword drawn,
said "Did anyone follow you out
there beyond?"
You say no sir and collapse on
the ground,
the man calls loudly for the medic
to be found.
You awaken in a warm, well lit room,
you thank the gods you haven't
met your doom.
A servant fixes the pillows on
your bed,
as you pull yourself up, pain shoots
through your head.
The wound has healed with much needed
rest,
as the Emperor says "You must go
on a quest."
The armoury has supplied you what
you need,
some armour, a sheild, and a sword
of speed.
Though more to tell lies within,
my time, I'm afraid, is running
thin.
Keep on thinking and writing as
well,
for words are more powerful than
any monster in hell.
THE END
