Terra Incognita

I heard of lands both far and near where wealth beyond tale can conceive. With rivers deep and mountains sheer for the brave to challenge and reave. I heard of them and I believe this call that moves me to explore. I should follow my heart and weave the path where none has gone before. Through legends spread by foe and peer, my head and heart do wish me leave the comforts of my home so dear to seek the thrills that I perceive. The first to achieve and retrieve power and fame I can’t ignore, the tug on the conqueror’s sleeve, the path where none has gone before. I’m confident in what I hear, stand ready with sword, shield, and greave. No time for mortal dread nor tear. No time to cause angst or aggrieve the loss of friend or kin bereave. I sail to explore a new shore and swear on death I will not leave the path where none has gone before. I seek your audience and ear to beg, my dear Prince; I implore your blessing, funds, and ships to steer the path where none has gone before.
