Blade

The mighty steed was black as night.. (Cobolt was his name) His rider, Blade, a Warrior Knight Swiftly through the dark forest he rode A realm he ruled with an iron code He was in search of his magical blue amulet Stolen he believed by a raven.. his enemy's evil pet Blade was aided in his search by his gray owl Who flew night and day as for the raven he prowled His enemy, Prince Zoxi, waited at the forest edge To kill Blade he had made a solemn pledge As Blade neared the end of the forest He drew his sword , which glowed with a fiery zest The two warriors met at the break of dawn A fight to the death now began The battle raged through the early morn The swords echoed with each clang Deftly,.. Blade sidestepped a thrust.. and his fiery sword found its mark Prince Zoxi fell to the ground The Warrior Knight of the forest dark had inflicted the fatal wound He ripped his amulet from Zoxi's neck And on his mighty steed he made his trek To his dark forest haven And his gray owl overhead, and in his talons, the evil raven The caw of the raven was heard no more And over the dark forest the gray owl soars A new enemy from the west, Bomani,.. The mountain warrior, drew near He shudders when the thunder of the mighty steed he hears And riding boldly to meet him as with speed his mighty steed explodes Is.. BLADE.. The Warrior Knight of dark abode
