СКАЧАТЬ to power,

      For he has decided to refuse to live unjust,

      He answers brave, refusing to cower,

      He chooses right action and a path of trust.

      “Halidor and Seth I will give freely to you,”

      “ But I cannot help you enslave the free dragon blue.”

      “So please return brave Calibus home to me,”

      ” Forget this foolish war, just let us be.”

      “A free dragon can have no real quarrel with you,”

      “She is just a playful, dragon blue.”

      “She has a divine right to her place in the sun,”

      “From your tyranny I will refuse to run!”

      “Fine Then!” Bracken rumbled earthquake deep,

      “I’ll crush all these weak forces you try to keep,”

      “I’ll love boiling your lake and soiling your sand,”

      “I’ll love torching your precious forest land.”

      “I’ll shred all your fields of poppies bright red,”

      “And I’ll rip sweet Hesper from her secret bed.”

      “All under your command I will rip and tear,”

      “Your weak blue armored troops will get you nowhere!”

      “And when I’ve finally tired of torturing you,”

      “I’ll grind you up to make a stew,”

      “A wizard stew of kith and kin,”

      “And Nyber Khan will never be again!”

      “A tasty meal I‘ll just love to eat,”

      “Amidst your pretty blue armored troops in total defeat.”

      “I’ll summon my crows to help consume you too,”

      “And I will make her watch it all, your sweet dragon blue.”

      Nyber never even blinked,

      Anyone sane might have thought he would.

      Upon the ancient battlements of ebon stone and light,

      Alone he darkly stood.

      He wore his purple robes of magic power,

      And his gold embroidered hood,

      He stood tall and faced Great Bracken’s vision

      The only free wizard who could.

      In a flash of emerald light Nyber broke the cold link,

      Enough of this cruel Bracken for it was now time to think.

      He motioned General Crokus quickly to his side,

      “Mount your fastest griffin for there are places you must ride.”

      Nyber gave truthful counsel to all his generals,

      He gave them all a choice,

      He showed them Brackens cruel vision,

      Yet they answered in one fine voice.

      “We stay and fight” they all did say,

      “We will make this Bracken rue the day,”

      “That he brought war to us and our fair land,”

      “This war will bleed his evil band.”

      “For we must cost him dearly here,”

      “So other lands will never fear,”

      “This dragon’s deadly trespass upon their lands,”

      “His wicked magick, his heartless hands.”

      And so these brave ones made ready for war,

      To bring truth to a power with an evil core.

      To give up their lives and homes and land,

      And hopefully bleed this evil band.

      They stand ready to sacrifice and bring a tough fight,

      To keep from the darkness a small point of light.

      To allow slavery for one allows slavery for all,

      To fight for one person’s freedom is to honor freedom for all.

      As a dragon Hesper caught this evil, cold link,

      Saw Brackens vision and her brave Nyber not blink.

      Here pure heart was crushed when she saw his inner light,

      To know full well she had caused this fight.

      Her brave heart weakened for her handsome wizard was lost,

      She will go back to cruel Bracken no matter her cost.

      She so loved Nyber Khan for the strength of his heart,

      But a war with wicked Bracken she now wanted no part.

      Yet when she tried to cast link with great Bracken,

      Her crafty wizard smiled deep within,

      For Nyber has learned to catch well her links,

      And thus learn where she has been.

      Now Nyber cast the only spell,

      Ever he cast against a friend.

      And Hesper’s silken dragon wings,

      Just kept refusing to unbend.

      “We stay and fight” she heard him sigh,

      His wizard link well done.

      “We fight him tough! We go down hard!”

      “Thus evil has not won.”

      “How can we ever endure this?”

      Hesper sobbed so hopeless and lost,

      “This madness is all my fault”

      “So I must bear the total cost.”

      Nyber just smiled and strengthened the link,

      She heard and felt her wizard wink,

      “One day at a time is what we do,”

      “One day at a time is СКАЧАТЬ
