A Bold Knight

He rode is gallant steed the sun reflecting off his breastplate. He rode into the dragon’s den to rid his precious homeland of the monster that stalked it there. This bold knight whose armour glinted in the sun rode high upon his steed and would soon be a hero to everyone. Many had died at the breath of this monstrous beast, now one man with the courage of a lion would soon end the rein of terror. Dismounting from his steed, sword and shield in hand approached the monster’s lair. A sheet of flame emerged from within the cave, and then came the bellowing roar. The dragon emerged and studied the silver figure that stood before him. He blew a gust of flame. The knight raised his shield reflecting the fire. The knight advanced towards the beast that towered over him. Before the dragon could blow more fire. The knight rushed forward and thrust his sword deep within the dragon’s belly. The dragon reared up its wings flapped in a gallant gesture before it fell silent to the ground The beast that had terrorised his beloved lands now lay slain by this mighty knight’s hand. No more would it scorch his beloved land. 24 April 2008
