Chapter 79 - The Legend

  "Once upon a time, there was a demon to the east

  who preyed upon the helpless like a vicious, hungry beast

  long ago he summoned forth an age endless war

  no matter how much blood he spilled he hungered still for more

  Despite his evil nature he disguised himself quite well

  to trick a righteous monarch into walking straight to hell

  many heroes fought the demon til their dying breath

  but anyone who fought the demon died a hero`s death

  To the north a land of monsters long untouched by man

  was ruled by dragons since before our history began

  for centuries the dragons guarded peace throughout their lands

  but then the demon ripped away that peace with his own hands

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  He chased away the dragon then provoked a northern king

  to start a war of endless spite, destroying everything

  the war was long and that was where my father`s father died

  and so did too, his friends who all fought bravely by his side

  Every creature, every human, every living thing

  longed to see the end of war beneath the demon king

  the demon of the empire had succeeded in his plan

  to bring a life of pain to every woman, child, and man

  Legend has it, when the war had come to a stalemate

  the northern army and the empire realised their fate

  both had been manipulated by that demon lord

  another day of death was more than either could afford

  In the end their generation paid a heavy price

  no one knows how many heroes made their sacrifice

  the final battle brought about an all-consuming flame

  which burnt away the demon and the armies all the same

  The era of the empire and the demon lord were done

  thanks to many heroes` sacrifice, the war was won

  still today across the lands, so many heroes fight

  to restore the balance, lest the battle reignite

  No one knows but some would say the demon lord lives on

  maybe he escaped the fire, and really isn`t gone

  but heroes train their swords today so if he should return

  no more shall the world allow that demon`s fire to burn"
