The Slaying of Qevarris
The first dragon to roam Algoron,
was the red Qevarris of evil's spawn.
No men could slay him for he was too strong,
For even all of those in Gareth belonged.
But the magnificent red dragon was found to be vulnerable,
a holy item internally would kill him - or so was the fable.
So riding out to meet him with with weapons and shield,
was Sir Gwaine d'Aggravaine and Squire Vander Holyfield.
In combat the dragon was too much for the knights,
and the squire fell after a vigourous fight.
Sir Gwaine cunningly slipped,
the artefact into the corpse.
with his subtefuge skills and valiantly,
fled the scene on his horse.
As he galloped away,
Sir Gwaine taunted him in to say,
"Now you have slain him and you are the winner,
how about eating your victim for dinner?"
Qevarris laughed in his horrible way,
and then shouted out to Gwaine to say,
"I shall eat this poor squire,
as I must be fed.
Then I am coming for you Sir,
and I'll eat you with bread.
I shall slay you and with my claws I will shred,
for this bread needs a delicious Sir-Gwaine-tasting spread."
Now Sir Gwaine - he did not like this at all,
and from his horse from fear he almost did fall.
But Qevarris the Red was vain to his word,
and swallowed the squire whole even though he was spurred.
Then he took to the air to follow Sir Gwaine,
when in his stomach he felt a terrible pain.
A pain that was searing white hot through to his head,
and in a matter of moments he crashed to the earth dead.
Now let this be a lesson to those who still do not know,
it is better to be eaten than those who ride away with the show.
For will those remember the bold fleeing knight?
Or the poor squire who was snack midnight?
For to be remembered takes noble brave deeds,
rather than bold knights taking terrified flight on their steeds.
