They wanted me to face the monster.
When they knew I was ill prepared and would surely see defeat.
Not to be shamed - I stepped right up and slayed that wretched beast. Watching his life force drain
as I squeezed.
Bone crushing with bulged eyes
that now bleed.
It was a real treat.
I\'ll say - quite the feast.
New crest on my chest yet I still failed this test.
Killing the demon was never that hard.
Prophecized down to the letter
by that old ancient bard.
Just wanted a little vengance - for all my scars.
Lessons said best not to take it that far. Losing
more strings of the heart.
The rush makes it hard to stop
once you start. As I learned the art.
So needless to say, I didn\'t take a lost souls life - that day.
Just a little word play. But the demon
stayed away. First time\'s a warning - next time
won\'t be that way.
