The Fae's Great Battle

Across the glowing lake of night
To the stone rings of Telemador
There lived a fiery angel
Who took the Fae to war

She stood so tall and strong
and powerful was she
she set across some tall, dark beasts
as she led them to Taionwe

The mountains purple and huge
where the clippers lived aloft
Their talons sharp as knives
As at the Fae they scoffed

These ugly creatures thought they were best
their cruelty was well known
Their crunches could be heard from far
as they ate their enemies bones

The Fae stood strong, their bows in hand
as they faced this horrible foe
as the first arrow shot
it stood in the head clippers toe

They roared with rage
as they ran down to battle
the girl stepped forward to face
as the ground shook and rattled

The arrows flew as the girl shouted 'Fire!'
the clippers nearing more
the arrows hitting their marks every time
the clippers letting out giant roars

The Fae dodged around
shouting all the time
she used magic
to stop the clippers crime

They fell but more trampled over
their anger growing with every step
the girl shouted on the Fae
as forward they crept

The Fae's arrows in a crowd flew
hitting the clippers everywhere
they couldn't get close enough
as the Fae fought towards the enemies lair

The clippers saw no win was able
they wondered whether to run
They knew the Fae would never stop
that the battle was already won

They turned and fled towards their caves
as the Fae cheered with joy
they ran after the enemy
ready to destroy

They pushed giant rocks
to cover the clippers caves
so none escaped at all
and cheered as so brave

The Fae had won this gallant fight
their land again was free
They had shown their might
now danced all night with glee.
