Grennop and Nilgath the Bold

Grennop and Nilgath the Bold

The greenlands burned in a fiery rage

The good people of the valley had another war to wage

From water’s edge to high on the mountain top

A mighty dragon unleashed his plague—the evil Grennop

On full moons the golden beast would soar

To rain down fire and vengeance over the poor

In great dives, Grennop’s wings would swing down

Crushing towers and battlements throughout the town

With each terrifying pass, soldiers launched arrow and spear

Yet, Grennop was cunning and spear nor arrow came near

Many town-folk lay dead amidst the smoke and ash

But this day, a legendary hero came to the clash

Upon a dark steed, a dragon slayer came from the North

With his blade, Marghelor, the warrior came forth

Coming to do battle was the Dragonslayer foretold

Into the burning greenlands rode Nilgath the Bold

His armor of silver reflected in the sunlight

And Grennop roared with all of his might

In the Plains of Kohah, Nilgath kept stride for stride

And at the foothills, Grennop soared wide

Nilgath pressed onward up the mountain, to Anundale Hold

In this stone structure, his plan would unfold

Atop the ancient tower, the Dragonslayer stood tall

Wrapping himself with a chain of silver ore, he began the call

Raising his ivory horn, Nilgath bellowed a note

Looming before Anundale Hold, the dragon began to gloat

The silver ore caught Grennop’s eye

And in swiftness, Marghelor was raised high

Outraged, Grennop displayed his power

With razor-sharp claws he clinched the tower

The Hold began to shake and crumble

Its stone and wood did violently tumble

Grennop swung his tail down like a knife

To claim his newest prize—Nilgath’s life

But this day, the warrior held strong

And in his fashion, Nilgath charged headlong

Landing upon the dragon’s head, he began to slash and hack

And Grennop roared, knocking Nilgath down his back

Between scale and fin he moved

By day’s end, his bravery would be proved

Nearer to the dragon’s heart he went

Higher and higher into the clouds they were sent

Twisting and turning, the dragon flew

But Nilgath latched on—justice was due

He climbed up, ever closer to Grennop’s chest

All the while the dragon’s claws did not rest

Yet Nilgath kept agile and remained free

The diamond-crusted destination was all he could see

Knowing the Dragonslayer might succeed

Grennop dove toward the earth with great speed

The beast laughed as he aimed toward the lake

Time began to slip away from Nilgath like a snake

Alas, he reached the dragon’s core

Raised high was his beloved Marghelor

With a hellish cry he drove the sword deep

Grennop shrieked in agony, tumbling ever steep

The valley-dwellers looked up at the sight afar

Nilgath and the dragon came down like a shooting star

And soon the two feel from sight

Upon the horizon, a flickering light

The good folk of the valley gathered around

Standing before the smoldering gash in the ground

Smoke billowed out with embers of gold

From the carnage strolled Nilgath the Bold

Climbing the hill, he was met with praise

The valley would now prosper and see better days

To the village, the warrior went for a bit of rest

For the battle was a most arduous test

That night there were many feasts and song

In the chief’s hall, Nilgath sat amidst the throng

Surrounded by treasures and women’s eyes

He desired none of these for a prize

To wage battle with dragons was his only desire

To travel the lands, helping those whose needs were dire

With the coming of the sun, he mounted his steed

Into the wild he went to find another in need

In the south, stories of dragons were told

And onward rode Nilgath the Bold
