Ravenclaw and Chess Master Knight

Notoriously tenacious Ravenclaw Rook and Chess Master Knight
In the middle of the tournament had an internal fight.
The rest of the pieces could not see it, it was truthfully not in sight
But the queen was prophetic, and she was amazed at her knight.

The king of the opposite army had not a solitary clue.
The battle was fierce, ‘til the silent trumpet of chess finally blew.
The rest of the pieces stayed on their squares that fine day.
Un-magical rooks and the rest stayed true to the skirmish-y fray.

The battle continued for weeks and weeks upon end.
Bishops wanted to be enemies, queens leaned toward being friends.
Ravenclaw Rook and Chess Master Knight admired each other though.
They would always relay the story as a different tale of woe.

For that is what chess piece players usually do in the end
They pretend to be enemies even if they actually are kind of now friends
