Of Heroes and Beasts

Of Heroes and Beasts
One stood on the left,
The other the right,
Both ready to cleave,
Both ready to fight,
The beast before them,
The wicked one,
The one who they knew,
Had already won,
He had brought down their army,
Among them their friends,
The ones who had helped them,
But had now met their ends,
The two men were tired,
Afraid and alone,
They listened in horror,
As the beast gave a moan,
The men started shaking,
They could not take much more,
So one charged at the beast,
But was slammed to the floor,
His mistake was made,
He couldn't turn back,
He could do not but lay there,
While the world went black,
His brother cried out,
His anger swelled,
Should he die for vengeance?
On this he dwelled,
The beast smiled strangely,
The man made a choice,
He pulled out his sword,
And spoke in a deep voice,
You have made me your enemy,
A fatal mistake,
For now you are punished,
Your life I must take,
The beast looked discouraged,
Its confidence dwindled,
For it knew that anger,
Inside the man kindled,
It lifted its club,
It was ready to swing,
At the man who dared,
To defy the dark king,
The club struck the ground,
With a thunderous roar,
The beast began laughing,
The hero was no more,
The hero smirked grimly,
At the creatures great blunder,
He charged from a bush,
And struck the beast like thunder,
The beast now knew,
That he had lost,
That the heroes words were true,
His life was the cost,
The hero could see,
That he would not live,
Through the terrible battle,
His energy soon would give,
The hero was hit,
He fell to the ground,
He lay very still,
The beast made no sound,
The hero smiled softly,
The battle was won,
His brother avenged,
The things evil undone,
The beasts death was horrid,
The heroes was bright,
One fought for darkness,
The other for light
