A Tale that Never Happened (part One)

It happened upon one ancient day
That two armies, massed in great array
Met upon a peaceful field
With readied sword and readied shield
One banner red; a crimson hue
The other a vivid, dark sea-blue
A noble prince, the Crimson Lord
Faced off against the rebel horde
All was silent, each soldier’s gaze
Fixed on the enemy through the morning haze
Till a prince behind the standard red
Raised his long-sword above his head
The time was ripe the young prince felt
And his men, observing the signal knelt
Upon the ground, to give 600 archers behind
A clear view of the enemy battle line
And the archers gripped their longbows by their hafts
And let loose a rain of deadly shafts
And in the ranks of dark sea-blue
The arrows fell with aim so true
That their ranks faltered and staggered back
As a second hail of arrows black
Streaked towards them all around
And mowed the entire first line down
The Crimson Prince sheathed his sword
And stared down upon the rebel horde
And the archers, as the signal said they should
Retreated back as the others stood
The Rebel Leader looked about
Raised his spear and gave a shout
His ranks parted, a trumpet blared
Out stepped 200, with crossbows prepared
The Crimson Lord, at first aghast
Thought “a mere 200!” and began to laugh
The crossbowmen, not amused
Fired their arrows into the sky of blue
And the Crimson Lords laughter at first decreased
Until a moment later it finally ceased
As the bolts came down from the sky
And 200 of his own men died.
