WARRIOR WOMAN
Chapter 2
What happened next was a complete surprise
For just beyond the blue horizon
A huge cloud full of rage
Rained upon our heroine
Pegasus glided her wings soaked through
She barely made it to the cavern in view
The man on steed had disappeared from view
The thunder clapped and the lightning crashed
As warrior woman stood in dismay
The cloud was sudden no reason or warning
Could this be the work of some other forces?
She went to Pegasus who shivered from cold
She looked as if she had never flown
Her wings were small and her frame weak
Could this be the work of someone evil?
The rain had drained her of her power
How was Warrior Woman going any further?
She sat in bewilderment her heart full of fear
Where was the man who followed her here?
Had he been a decoy to chase her away
Or was he leading her to someplace
No one could say
The mountaintop was in the mist
As the rain kept pounding and again
She saw the creature of great stature
The demon bird had to be stopped
But what was the matter?
Down below as the storm did rage
The man who followed was filled with rage
He knew that something was totally amiss
He wanted to find the cause for this
He rode his horse to the edge of the mountain
Where he knew that something was shinning
He dismounted his horse and walked to the rocks
Starting to climb he forced his way up
Hands were slipping and the rain filled his eyes
But he kept going he wanted to keep alive
The purpose of this journey for somehow he knew
This woman was special and her heart was true
He climbed and he climbed his horse all a mess
Ran towards the woods and hid from the rain
Looking down he wondered, what power was this
To make the strong animal seem so meek
He continued his journey and just before his eyes
A beautiful image was in his site
A shimmering gem like the one that she wore
Only it was red and it made his eyes sore
He blinked and he shivered as he grabbed hold of the gem
He suddenly saw things that were inside his head
Power and glory and everything he wanted
Was there to be brought out
Down below as the storm did rage
The man who followed was filled with rage
He knew that something was totally amiss
He wanted to find the cause for this
He rode his horse to the edge of the mountain
Where he knew that something was shinning
He dismounted his horse and walked to the rocks
Starting to climb he forced his way up
Hands were slipping and the rain filled his eyes
But he kept going he wanted to keep alive
The purpose of this journey for somehow he knew
This woman was special and her heart was true
He climbed and he climbed his horse all a mess
Ran towards the woods and hid from the rain
Looking down he wondered, what power was this
To make the strong animal seem so meek
He continued his journey and just before his eyes
A beautiful image was in his site
A shimmering gem like the one that she wore
Only it was red and it made his eyes sore
He blinked and he shivered as he grabbed hold of the gem
He suddenly saw things that were inside his head
Power and glory and everything he wanted
Was there in his sight it was then that he saw
The other woman before him
She was a beauty but not like the other
But something about him made his heart flutter
She walked up to him and he reached out to her
It was then that he realized she was a decoy
She turned to the sky and sprouted some wings
Black as the crow her scream was a siren
He fell from the edge as the rocks did shake
She grabbed him and took him to the high place
Something was wrong the warrior woman knew
As she heard the scream from out of the gloom
Her gem it did glow and it turned bright blue
It was then that she saw what had happened to him
“Something is wrong nothing is going as planned
Someone is following but it’s not the other man
The hunter was sitting as he pondered what to do
When he saw a shadow from out of the gloom
He stood in silence as to his surprise
Another female before him with another gem
It shone
He stared at her beauty as the gem glowed to black
He felt all but terror as his body went limp
What was happening? What was going on?
The wizard had watched this all from his globe
A voice from behind him said “This is how it ends
The warrior and hunter and also the man
Were meant to be led here to be used in a plot
It was then that the wizard knew what was going on
Three gems to guide them: three gems to blind them;
Three gems to take them to where they must go
It was a plot to take away the homes
Of those in this kingdom now covered in gloom
But someone else was watching and the tables were turned
These three are useful they needed to be here
The hunter a decoy the woman a saint
The man a great healer and the siren a sorceress
They were being used to get rid of the beast
But the one flying high was not the real thing!
He was a mirage a vision of what was to come
As they are were brought to the mountain top
They need to defeat the true evil there
They need to get rid of the false warrior king
