Atop the treasures
a lone Kender was
bent over chess-play
I didn't allow him
to mend the rules
He smiled at me
then talked and teased
Until the final check the whole
history of his ancestry was told.
Pray be blessed the who listen me
I dare not ask for believe
for Kender history as their tales is
gripping untrustworthy
Once upon time after Chaos War
(some say before Lord Soth lost crown)
all wars were soothed and quarrels calmed
Praises of Heroes spread through the land
Honour fed glory and glory bears pride
Splendour shone brightly under gods' stars
In such an age in Solas town
the Heroe was born during night storm
Blazes of lightnings severed black sky
as infant gave first cry of life
Ambition and craving tempested his heart
Compassion stumbled in deep bleeding chasm
Childhood he spend like bound wild beast
picky and gruesome and restless boy
He bore a talent to shield and sword
By iron-will he was born with
he governed winds and snow
Mighty among weak soon left the land
in seek of chalenge and test of mind
He longed for once have equal fight
Meyhap he sought sheer thrill of control
over creature more powerfull
tamed by splitting its will by two
Dragons he sought
Treasures he found
Gold, armour, jewels
adorned streep coin piles
Atop of that he found a kender
most astonishingly-
of opposide gender
She had intense fiery-red hair
Curly long rich and bound in pony-tail
Extravagant green plain skirt long legs
modest posture and enormous sack framed
the face he dares not forget
nor I describe in detail
For good awhile he looked deep down
inside the eyes of Kender Rowen
He saw truth there and knowledge
of ancient ages, of narrow line
between sanity and crime
Breathless he stood in silence
'Pleasure to meet' said she with grin
' I know you are rotting from within.
You should have worried and seek cure.'
The Heroe lowered head then asked:
'Thou hast see deep so tell me this:
where is the blazez fiery beast
the Dragon Den the place that is!'
Kenderish woman laughted in light
fashion of her kin and laughted loud.
'Thy need no lizard nor shiny star
taken by force from blackened sky
If you do really want to slay beast
then strike - I'm ready - won't resist.'
The Heroe breathed through clenched teeth
'You're raving. Allow me to help thee.'
He straighten mighty arm and offered a hand
She stand up readily on her feet and
allowed him to lead.
Thus unseen way the Heroe who greeded
the ultimate test of his abilities
found himself willing to face the utmost
important, difficult, exotic outcome
and married red-hair Kender girl
blessed by both Light and Dark Krynn deities
