June 5th, 2012 12:26 PMCreeping through the endless night
It is too quiet
A sudden rustle
I hear it rush behind me
Narrowly dodging
Quick intake of breath
My heart beating rapidly
I regain my calm
My knuckles turn white
I turn to face the fell beast
Vorpal blade held tight
With one mighty swing
Dragon decapitation
Victory is mine
My Glorious Quest
Oh I brave Knight of the Bay Area have long been on this quest. And many months ago I did approach my fellow Knights to see if they would go on this quest with me. I was met with much enthusiasm; yet when I sought to scheduled a day to seek the fell beast none were willing to commit to a date. Undeterred I began my quest. Many a day was spent in dark caverns seeking the reclusive beast. Finally I saw the monster! Hiding in the dark of my own garage. Apparently while I had been tracking the dragon, the dragon had been tracking me! With my vorpal blade I decapitated the dragon *snicker snack*

I spent a good amount of time carving the cardboard... The original plan was to get at-least two friends to help me make the dragon and thus puppeteer the dragon so we could video the fight. It was too big for me to do on my own.

But seeing as how the task is to "Slay a dragon. Celebrate in verse, song, or painting." I figured after months of trying to get anyone to help me with this and no one rising to the occasion...time killed the dragon.... and dam it I was going to celebrate the death of the dragon!

Not even some role playing playing people were interested in a life prop?
most of my friends are into games like D&D, it was just the time commitment required for completing the dragon and then taping a fight that lost them. Everyone is so busy that no one wanted to help me build it. I made as much of it as i could on my own, but seeing as how the rest was going to be a costume I was unable to stand still and have cardboard draped on me while at the same time draping the cardboard on me and holding un-taped bits in place.
3 points for now, 2 more for if/when you manage to complete the quest as in your original vision. You have my sword if you need it.
fell best? Fell beast?
Fix and ping me for 5 points.
I like that time really killed it.
