This beast was a creature not of this world, With fur that was blacker than the knight's banner unfurled. Its teeth were as sharp as the finest sword, And its roar could be heard for miles, like the sound of a horde. It lived in a cave deep in the woods, And many feared venturing into its neighborhood. But this young girl was brave, and she was not afraid, For she knew in her heart, there was more to this beast, than its parades.
