Awakening in a world of shadows
she finds herself dressed in a coat
of mail.
She looks like an old time hero,
and slowly she takes on her role.
Wandering through the land
she sees many strange things:
Chatting birds and walking trees
come along her way.
Dancing dwarfs and singing fairies
live in this land.
After a while she meets an old man,
who introduces himself to her:
"I am king Louis, Lord of this land.
To our kingdom - Welcome my friend!
Adventurers like you are what we need.
If you stay and do us a favour,
you won't regret it."
"You and king?!", she laughed,
"Where's your crown?
To me you look more like a bagger."
"Don't wear my crown in times of grief.
Something so terrible has happened.
someone must end it,
someone must help,
could it be you!?
Rescue the princess!!!
She was robbed by a dragon.
Men were sent out to kill him.
No one ever returned.
If you can beat him,
half of the kingdom
as well as the princess are yours."

She walks through the night,
marching on without fear.
Soon she finds the place,
where the foe hides.
She arrives at the cave,
first hesitates a while;
but then she dares
to step inside the entrance,
leaving the security of light.
Is there anybody inside?
Inside 155 steps lead into the dark.
Down there lies the dragon and sleeps.
A well known fact about dragons
is that their skin cannot be hurt.
But as we also know,
there's one black spot
in the back of their
neck,
where a hero can
with one single strike
end the dragon's life.
Our heroine moves on,
she tries to make no noise.
Stealing down the stairs,
she already sees the black mark.
But what seems to be the last stair
turns out to be the dragon's tail.
