I. Memory Awakened
Telegon and Kor, bravest of us all, no song can fully tell the sorrow of your fall.
For the name of Egon, with Degon you fought. Yet, you knew not of the miseries that Dragon would wrought.
Long before ye did his fires burn with hate. And many a innocent babe did they incinerate.
And in that dark hour that was so late, you did not fear your impending fate.
Here in the measureless lengths of time is the setting made for the rhyme.
II. The Dragon Takes Flight
In the isle of Degon, there lies his cave. A place we’re only a pure soul may brave.
Here the Dragon doth sleep in caverns unfathomably deep.
Temporarily is this evil kept at bay while Anveillion is ignorant as it sleeps day to day.
But this is all part of Egon’s plan, part of the cycle to break the enchantment of man.
Degon awakes, thus, and takes flight; foreshadowing for Anveillion a hellish fight.
III. The Resolve of Kor
Brunesburg set upon the moonlit moor, over watching it was the grim knight, Kor.
Rarely did that town succumb to fear so long as Sir Kor wielded his spear.
It’s shaft was strong and heavy. More firm still was the arm that held it steady.
He was Brunesburg’s watcher of the night, appointed to protect the town from any dark plight.
Countless a dark hour did he spend, watching the town he had sworn to defend.
IV. Degon Descends
In one such hour, doomed as Kor’s last, the dragon did descend with a fiery blast.
Kor raised the alarm to awaken all, and to warn them of the dragon soon to befall.
But the dragon was quick and already devouring his prey, and no few persons that night did he slay.
Kor rushed toward the dragon with lightning quick reaction.
Though, Degon was shrewd, and more so was he fast. As he turned to Kor, a deadly gaze he did cast.
V. Kor Faces Degon
There was a pause, but no words were spoken. All too soon, the stillness was broken.
Kor, with his spear, fiercely stabbed; Degon, with his teeth, rapidly jabbed.
Wondrous was the skill of Kor; he fought as no knight ever before.
Yet, Degon, the dragon, was fiercely strong; and was soon to do Brunesburg a terrible wrong.
With deadly accuracy, he slashed with claw; slicing Kor beneath the jaw.
VI. Kor’s Final Deed
Kor’s throat was open, and like a flood, his armored chest was covered in blood.
But, his heart still sparked with life. And, upon Degon, he would inflict much strife.
Kor lifted his spear with a weary hand, ready to make his final stand.
Kor steadily took skillful aim at Degon’s throat, from whence the flame ever came.
And with that final deed, Kor’s soul, from his body, was freed.
VII. Telegon Hastens to Battle
Far before a cry for help was heard, Telegon rushed to battle without a needless word.
Onward he ran, taking not his shield; for time was pressing and a sword alone did he wield.
With billowing smoke, the air was thick. Nevertheless, Telegon’s pace was quick.
Though appointed Brunesburg’s knight of the day, no evil would Telegon abide to stay.
But, alas, his coming was late. The brave Kor had met his fate.
VII. Telegon Addresses Degon
Then, Telegon, full of wrath, spoke cold words to the fiery dragon in his path.
“Degon, serpent, vile worm; I bid thee, be gone; for my arm is still firm!”
To which Degon did reply deadly words to make a lesser man fly.
“The Knight of the Night may have brought death to the white hot fire in my breath;
“But Him I did gruesomely slay; as I will you, petty Knight of the Day.”
IX. Telegon’s Last Battle
Then Telegon did rush at the foul beast who, upon the citizens of Brunesburg, was making feast.
With his precious blade he swung, and, upon the dragon’s scales, it loudly rung.
Many a skillful stroke did he pass. But, he could not cut through the great serpent’s mass.
Degon quickly struck with spiked tail. Telegon’s breath, thus, then began to fail.
But, Telegon shrewdly plunged upward his steel; inflicting on Degon a wound that would never heal.
X. Brunesberg Flees
While Kor and Telegon fought in battle, the people of Brunesburg stampeded like cattle.
No other man stayed to fight; they, like animals, all took flight.
The swords, forged by Great Egon, now appear to all be gone.
This is due, in part, to vile Degon; who slew the Great Kor and Mighty Telegon.
Who will now break the enchantment of Degon, and bring us to the blessed realm of Egon?
