Dragzfuth

Sir Dragzfuth

Treacherous are ways in court,
my mother used to say,
deceit, fraud, and lies,
they are just a matter of their normal working day.
So keep away from that my son she said,
don't let the court intrigue to pull you in,
or you may soon end up in one that you'll regret.
The wisdom of her words I never quite have grasped until today,
how I've come to realize it,
well just hear this story that I have to tell.

Youngest to earn the mark of knighthood of the Six I was,
chivalry, a way of life for me.
The deeds I did were many for a knight of any age,
yet my life wowed with touch of sadness,
ever since the first time I layed my eyes on her queenly majesty.
Hazelpurplish was her hair,
sparkling like a fireworks display in sky,
Marble color of her lips,
but everything just faded,
when she cast a glance at me from her kaleidoscope eyes.

Months have passed and I kept this secret in my heart,
a lowly knight, one a queen would not even glance at twice.
Till the chance had come for me to proove myself,
Court has ordered to behead the threeheaded dragon Tri-arcanoth.
Volunteering for the quest,
other knights have gladly let me,
dragon prooved to put up quite a fight.
7 days and 7 nights we fought in mountains of the Mystyrhee,
Then the beast finally yielded,
I emerged victorious, cut one head while other two managed to flee.

Next day neighbour villages reported sightings of a two headed dragon terrifying to behold,
Other beasts were not in my concern though,
my quest finished,
I headed home, packing with me head I've got off evil Tri-arcanoth.
My fellow knights smiled proudly,
Citizens were in the streets, cheering,
"Cheers for the bravest amongst thine ranks, order of Six", was heard.
But then the highest prize I could possibly imagine had happened,
a messanger came to me,
"Thou are to present thine prize you took from evil Tri-arcanoth to our majesty, the queen".

Brought in front of her,
I felt my knees tremble as I kneeled,
not daring to look up at that blessed image my heart held so dear.
"No need to kneel, Sir Dragzfuth", the voice came as from high above.
"The court is in your debt, thy deeds deserve a prize,
look up, and tell thine Queen what a fitting prize might be you feel."
Shakingly I stood up and faced the whirling look her eyes colored kaleidoscope would cast.
My mouth went dry,
my tongue would no longer listen to my will.
Few moments later her majesty smiled softly,
"Leave us," she ordered to others present and walked right to me.
"So, my fair knight, am I so terrible to behold
thou can't even speak what thou would wish as thy reward?"

"Nay your majesty, t'is quite the opposite,
but my skill is not with matters of the tongue,
and I am not all sure how to speak in front of thy presence."

She laughed to that, "Say no more, I'll try to make this easy as I can".
Long glance she cast at me that made me shiver trough my skull,
"I have watched you for some time now Sir Dragzfuth,
and your unparalleled bravery may deserve prizes no other knight could ever stand to hope to gain."
With that she stepped of her throne, and unlocked a secret door in nearby wall.
"Follow me Sir knight,"
she said and dissapeared into the hole.

Long walk through the darkness after,
her majesty would stop at another door.
Smiling, she turned back, revealing enough of her chest to see a chained key.
"It's the key to reaching your dreams, Sir Dragzfuth,
go ahead and take it."
"My Queen!", I gasped in shock and horror,
"Still chivalrious," she said.
"Just what I hoped so,
worry not dear knight,
I shall not make thou do nothing thou wouldst not wish".
Unlocking the door a secret bedroom was revelead,
more horrified yet I could not speak no more,
her majesty just smiled some more, and pulled me in,
"Our king shall not return to the land for seven days,"
she whispered as she closed the door again.

I cannot reveal what came to pass that night,
next morn I was left alone to think and ponder,
I was guest of honor in feasts that castle held each day,
and in the evenings I was summoned back to secret chamber by my Queen.
Six nights have passed, and I have known I belong to her majesty with soul and heart,
and my sword was in her service only, no matter what orders she would give.
I've learned many things of our WRETCHED STATE from her,
some shocking to beyond belief,
especially regarding our chosen king.
My loyalty was to the king and queen,
but if her words were true,
and how could angels with hazelpurplish hair ever not say truth,
my next goal was clear, no matter how dreading it has seemed.

But then that last faitfull day would come to pass,
I wass leaving secretly from the castle,
when I realized I didn't wear my belt.
Hurriedly I rushed through darkened corridors,
only to see the door to secret chamber slightly open,
and stepping closer voices reached my ears.
"Are you sure we can trust this kid to do what's planned?",
a male belonging voice I couldn't recognize would ask.
"Fear not dear Justin,
he sees nothing but his knigtly honor and the love I cast.
We shalt have him dispose of the king,
and the rest is easy, is it not? Just proceed as planned."
In horror I have recognized her majesty's voice,
crazed with anger and fear I dashed out of the castle,
mindless drone, not knowing what to do...
