Duel

The dragon's eye, stared below towards the villagers
It didn't lose focus on even one and he decided to act
From heavens high, diving down to the world surface
No number of human archers could yet pierce its hide
No magic or spells sent up by humans ever harmed it
Yet two knights stood, wrapped in dragon hide armor
Holding upon great swords, ready to fight and win
Hours of battle, wounds and damage, ended well
With the dragon angry and leaving for other lands
And left the two knights with a story to tell
Rather than victims, or corpses abandoned
