Legend of the Kredes

There was a man from long ago; his name was Rusoly
He came to be a great hero, the Legend of the Kredes

Far back in time before the Feared, Krede was a peaceful land
Then evil Desh appeared and put the world into his hands

The Holy Man then took a stand to save his family
He was wounded throughout the land, and escaped shamefully

Young Rusoly then asked his cult about his father's fight
"Poor Rusoly, Desh be the fault, for none the wounds were light

"But he has found a hidden scroll about the Chosen One
Before he died, he told us all to give it to his son"

"His son I am," said Rusoly, and took it from the crowd
He stared at it most tearfully, then started out aloud

"The Holy Man may not survive the power of the Fiend
No matter how hard he may strive, imminent death be seen

"But he has found a lovely wife, and they have borne a child
The boy has learned throughout his life to mend all that's defiled

"The Father then will fight the Fiend; the fight shall take its toll
He'd soon write out the note and flee, to give his son the scroll

"You are to be the Chosen One, as you will surely see
Now hear my plea, my dearest son: avenge our land for me."

He suddenly regained his breath, and then, clearing his throat
"I shall avenge my father's death" he said, dropping the note

He traveled through the barren world to Desh's huge mansion
He was ambushed by Desh's horde but quickly he had won

"Poor child, you stand no chance with me" Desh said, "You're just a fool."
But soon enough came Rusoly, the victor of the duel

He showed the head of Desh the Slain to every castle wing
Then Sheigh the Great bestowed his reign to Rusoly, the King

King Rusoly soon found a queen to help rule by his side
He had a son, in time grew lean, and on his throne, he died
