The Sword of Arrine

A child Hero saves his village from total devastation.

The Sword of Arrine

Under mist of cloud the Wyvern soar,
the coming storm would be a killing floor.
Stalking in the dark, that beast would roar.
Below left huts in village shaking door.

With absent light its spoken kiss would share.
Then serpent pulled out claws wait to ensnare.
Burning breath in kingdom unaware.
It’s barking smoke and flames, bellowing flare.

It’s smothering fire ignites the air they need.
Then creature brings on feeding frenzy greed.
Now everywhere burnt trampled bodies bleed.
Huge snapping jaws let human souls be freed.

Yet; came our Hero saviour, just a child.
With sword his father gave him in the wild.
The Wyvern looked upon him with a smile,
While chasing him left buildings in a pile.

It’s silent under wood and breaking board.
The creature stopped to listen for reward.
The boy pulled out his mystic magic sword,
light glistened from the gems it had adorned.

It startled serpent, did not end the fight.
The flames poured fourth from its mouth in the night.
Huge scaly monster had returned with bite.
The boy held up his sword with all his might.
The serpent scooped him up and out of sight.

Then boy shoved in his sword up out of sight,
the Wyvern fought pain with all its might.
yet; fell to ground, released boy with bite.
Survivors honoured boy with party night,
and tales of Arrine, how sword ended fight.
