It all began with nine

Whose lives would intertwine

They all had their way

But in the end would be a price to pay.

The first stood tall

But he found that would be his fall

Picked off like prey

And was lost by the end of the day

The second had a free heart

Yet he was bitter and tart

His nature was shallow

And his head was hollow.

The third was blind

His principals of kind

His young mind naïve

And was soon deceived.

The fourth came from an island tribe

He was quick, strong, and good for a bribe

With a bestially form and large head

With long fangs and eyes of red.

The fifth's a sad story

all gruesome and gory

Betrayed by nine

He was struck down at the end of his line.

The sixth was strong willed

And for that he was killed

In a fearsome attack

Lead by the last of the pack.

The seventh is a nut case

With no sense and bad taste

He helps the leader

Known as the deceiver.

The eighth is fearful

Almost every minute his eyes tearful

He never wanted a fight

So he stayed out of sight

The ninth was mistrusted

He hated and was filled with blood lust

He scourged with a sword

He was indeed a very dark lord.

In the end will be a price to pay…
