The Ghost and The Warrior




Shrouded Pathways, in the moonlit night
Forbidding and Inviting at the same time
He stood there, with Shields and Swords
To fight the Silence, with his honourable heart

aarggh.. the long wait...been hungry too long
hmph! dwelled here too long
many have come here, grrr....but no one for long..
i will wait for the next.. grrrrowl...how long???

Rising mist, carried a foul breath
A Warning!! "
" keep away................."
The walls rippled, upside down in the tarn
Feets scurried away with fear, the Warrior was here!

grmppp..he arrives.. his stench anounces him..
brave he thinks he is..buurrrrff..
holds the sword too high...gaaahh..i see him
snip snip... i wait no more...

Creaking Doorway welcomes him...
Darkness envelopes, eludes all forms
With Unseen shapes all around
He prepares to fight!!!

har har...his heart beats too fast
he moves too fast... gllmmmp

He Strikes with his Shining Sword
A Shriek Resonates the Big Halls

Glllllooomppp..... yummy....
They dont know .. the Great Shelob has been waiting for long.......gruhmpp
