Poem
They journeyed through the woods
Over the mountains and hills
The book spoke about them
It said nothing about their adventure 
It said nothing about their sojourn
To retrieve the lost chalice

Mysteriously stolen
Enchanted and bewitched
It had brought calamities
 and havoc on the land
Strange things had befallen them
Anguish and apparition clouded each day

The chalice sat in a
 chamber in the palace
Guarded by the dark Knights,
Mornings and nights 
they guarded in turns
These knights were chosen by the sage
They were blessed with an unusual gift
They could see beyond human's sight,
To take an unusual fight.

The chalice left its chamber
Before dawn on a day in November 
It was a huge surprise
An unprecedented event
The wise one went into a trance
He transcended to heights he rarely did
This almost took him completely away
He saw everything that happened
When the chalice was stolen 
and where it had gone
An act of sorcery of the deepest order

The knights fought relentlessly
They wielded their swords fearlessly
They encountered eerie monsters 
Some were like giant lobsters
They fought and prevailed
It was a brave travail

The chalice was held in a mystical field
Spinning and reverberating
They could not near or touch it
It pierced their minds and souls 
They spoke those words
The ones only they could utter
Written in the book 
The enchantment was dispelled
The chalice fell into their hands 

They returned to their land
They had gone for a fortnight 
It was great joy and
 celebration in their country 
They were honoured by the king
They drank from the chalice
Except for the king 
Only brave knights could drink from it
Their names were written in
 the Chronicles of the Knights 
The sage wrote their names in the book
He was honoured to keep the book 
Kept only in the king's secret chamber.
