Fallen

Once upon a time, in a land shrouded in darkness and despair,
Lived two sinister beings, Lucifer and Satan, a malevolent pair.
They reveled in evil, their hearts full of malice and spite,
Spreading chaos and fear, with every step they'd alight.

One gloomy day, they schemed to conquer the heavenly plane,
To overthrow the angels and tarnish its divine domain.
With eyes glowing red and hearts black as coal,
They sought to corrupt heaven and seize its control.

Together they ventured, through storms and shadowed lands,
In search of a weakness, to achieve their wicked plans.
With whispers of deceit and promises of power,
They rallied dark forces, hour by sinister hour.

Lucifer, with silver tongue, deceived the angelic host,
While Satan sowed discord, creating a treacherous ghost.
In heaven's midst, they sowed seeds of doubt and disdain,
Their malicious intentions, none could ascertain.

Through heavenly gates, they stealthily crept,
Amidst stars and celestial clouds, where guardians slept.
With malice and mischief, they stormed the divine hall,
Their malevolence echoed, a seditious, haunting call.

But little did they know, a celestial warrior stewed,
An archangel named Michael, of valor and fortitude.
He sensed the evil brewing, the impending sinister attack,
And vowed to protect heaven, pushing evil forces back.

The battle ensued, a clash of light and dark,
As Lucifer and Satan schemed, leaving a menacing mark.
But Michael's valor and angelic might,
Drove back the darkness, restoring heaven's light.

In a final confrontation, Michael faced the malevolent pair,
He fought with divine fervor, his wings spread wide with flair.
Though Lucifer and Satan were formidable foes,
Michael's righteousness prevailed, and their wickedness he froze.

Banished from heaven, they were cast down below,
To the depths of the abyss, where darkness would grow.
Their sinister tale serves as a warning to all,
Beware the allure of evil's enticing call.

So, dear children, heed this tale's dark refrain,
Embrace goodness and light, from the path of evil abstain.
For in the choices you make, and the deeds you pursue,
Lies the power to shape your destiny, be it dark or be it true.

Some go off to feud and fight
Others get off in vain delight
Villians rule

Merlin


Sights one night he saw a king
A child born of wonder
Tales of it would fill the world
Of powers torn asunder

On his staff a tiny star
A gift he had not sought it
Deep from in her blackened garb
The jewel from true loves pocket

Came an eve at sunsets pause
A vision came to sight
Atop his mountain o're the ridge
Of a licorice Black Knight

Merlin looked on valley rich 
Fair beauty sprung to life
Catching eye, it's queen of maids
This Camelots first wife

At night he went to see her
From his cave atop the ridge
The Black knight never saw him
With his eyes set on the bridge

They spoke of ancient legends 
And the history of her lands
Before the Black Knight won it
By the violence of his hands

Loneliness had built a void
Tears hoped for his falling
Black knight never there to see
Merlins time was calling

Passions fury one night rode
Its price unlocked her gates
None but Merlin held her heart
Beyond their parting fates

Merlin left his starlight true 
For what it may become
Off to travel far and wide
And bring a chosen one

Merlin found that strapping boy
Convinced him to be king
After years of training him
To take the Black Knights ring

Many years had come to pass
Arthurs time it nears
Take the Black knight off the bridge
And save our Guineveres

Pendragon


Chosen son would be a king
His legend and endeavour
Earned the right to speak as lord
His life to stand forever

Within his soul a tiny star
Merlins oft to speak it
Black to be the war he fought
His deepest sin to seek it

Came an eve at sunsets pause
A Black Knight flashed the light
In kingdom held and guarded well
Into the licorice night

This kingdom filled a valley rich
Of water game and life
Trapped within a wealth of maids
His queen to be and wife

One road led among them
On a cavern o're a bridge
The Black Knight stood upon it
Captured beauty on the ridge

Tales of one were legend
At the quickness of his hands
Few survived the final word
Of Arthurs fierce demands

Shattered suitors filled the void
Tears shed for their falling
Black knights test as king to be
By final strike this calling

Brutal fury held this road
It's price would paint the gates
None but one could hold the land
Actions taken less debates

Faith and practice filled ones arm
Reason' s Happenstance
Tresspassing king to rescue thee 
Love's withheld advance

Starlight filled his loving heart
Thoughts of danger for his jewel
Blackness struck without a word
Bloodlust ruled the duel

Only for this greatest love
Held fast it's final pain
Dream's a king had set to flight
For Camelots new reighn
