Slay The White Shadows



In the land of frost and snow
Where the wind whispers low
Lies a tale of courage and might
Of a battle against the endless night
The mountains stand tall and proud
With their peaks shrouded in cloud
The valleys below, covered in white
Reflecting the moon’s pale light
But deep in the heart of this land
Lurks a danger, cold and grand
The White Shadows, creatures of ice
Their very presence, a chilling vice
Their eyes, a piercing blue
Their skin, a frosty hue
Their breath, a freezing mist
Their touch, a deadly twist
They roam the land without fear
For nothing can harm what’s not here
Their bodies, made of frozen air
Their hearts, as cold as despair
But there is one who defies
The White Shadows, with their lies
She carries a sword of flame
And a heart that knows no shame
Her name is known far and wide
For her bravery cannot be denied
She is the chosen one, the chosen knight
To slay the White Shadows and end their blight
With each step she takes
The ground beneath her quakes
For the earth knows her purpose
To fulfill the prophecy, to break the curse
Her sword gleams in the moonlight
As she prepares for the fight
She knows the danger that awaits
But she also knows it’s not too late
She climbs the highest peak
Where the White Shadows’ lair does speak
Their voices, like a chilling choir
But she will not falter, she will not tire
She draws her sword and shouts
Her battle cry, her only route
The White Shadows appear, their bodies tall
But she stands her ground, she will not fall
Their eyes lock in a deadly stare
As she charges without a care
Her sword clashes with their icy skin
But she will not stop until they’re within
Her sword of flame burns bright
As she fights with all her might
The White Shadows, they cry and scream
But their end is near, it’s not a dream
They melt away, their frozen form
Their cold hearts no longer warm
The land is finally free
From the White Shadows’ tyranny
She raises her sword in triumph
Her mission, a battle won
For she is the one true knight
To slay the White Shadows, with all her might
The mountains echo with her name
As she rides home, to acclaim
The chosen one, the hero of the land
Whose bravery and courage will forever stand
And so, the land is at peace
The White Shadows’ reign, finally cease
The sun shines bright, in the sky
As the people rejoice, with tears in their eye
For the chosen one, has fulfilled her quest
To slay the White Shadows, and bring them rest
Her legend, will never be forgotten
For she is the one, who brought the land to light once again.
