An Unremembered Tale

I stood alone amongst friends,

As we faced down the beast,

Fell were its claws and dire was its renown

Yet we had no more fear of it but

For the lives already taken.

I stood alone amongst the dead

And gazed deep into the maw of fate

Which sought to bring me to an end.

Twas not courage that bade me raise my shield,

Nor valour that made me swing my sword

But defiance at the fate that awaits

Those with too much adventure born.
