Tales of the Twilight Tails!

Gather round to listen to these tales 
About some hounds, called the twilight tails!

They’re on a quest, headed west,
To fight some foes, where no one goes, 
To beat some pests, an ugly guest
Who they’ll dispose, and expose!

But first they’ll recoup, regain some bruit
Under the moon, by the fire,
With Lucky’s soup and Rocky’s Lute,
They’ll sing a tune, you’ll admire!

A group of misfits who don’t belong,
Relying on their wits to get along.

Chapter One: Rogue Punk

A wanted pup, so the posters read,
With fur so red, it’ll fill you with dread.

Pulling the string on her longbow,
Aiming it at the fierce-looking foe, 
10x her size, with eyes that glow.
’Til wind began to blow from its toe!

Landing in a tavern filled with Knights
She began to explain the fearful night.
Their laughter halted by the chefs fright -
As he told them tales of his Dad’s Smite.

Word of this foe, would be spread.
Even if it meant they’d have her head

Chapter Two:
Lucky

He dropped the knife to describe his strife,
About a vicious foe that wrecked his life,

With snarky yaps, tricks, and strong magic
He witnessed it when it was first banished.
However the part most tragic.
Was with that, his dad had vanished.

They alerted the queen of the hostile.
Punk’s tale was right. She wasn’t delirious!
A cheeky chef, equipped with a smile -
Now ready to fight. This was very serious.

“I was there, you’ll all be fine.
We know what to do, this time.”…

Chapter Three: Gale the Wizard

A soft-spoken voice interrupted the panic“
You’ll be okay, no need to be manic.”

“But you? You’re a coin mistress…”
“..Who lives in the tavern!”
Laughter interrupted, calming the distress
Gale grinned - “yet I battled in the cavern”

Mumbling some words right from a scroll,
Manifesting the Queen, demanding Silence!
“I won't allow it to take another soul…“
We must defeat it, without any violence!”

Smirking beside her was a very Loyal Guard
Sir Wawa of Chi - he’s of high regard

Chapter Four:
Sir Wawa of Chi

“Send these fools, if they so truly dare..
Whatever happens, no one will care.” 

The Queen interrupted his cheer,
“Don’t mishear, grab your gear,
They’ll need a knight to adhere.”
Glaring at him to instil fear.

He couldn’t whine or complain,
Despite her insane reign, 
A loyal Chi in her campaign,
Ready to fight and bring pain. 

“Our quest begins bright & early 
Best be there mighty and burly.”

Chapter Five:
Rocky the Bard

Unaware of what happened prior,
He was awoken by a bright fire.

"What's all this then, where's the bus?"
Rocky looked up, unsure of this crew.
"Well, look who decided to join us,"
Lucky said as he continued to brew.

"We found you passed out in our wagon.."
Sir Wawa of Chi scoffed, dumbfounded,
"Wait.... Is that... is that a dragon?"
They all looked over, astounded. 

It began to roar, and loudly creak...
As it rustled, from behind the creek

Finale:
Dracuum Cleaner

They looked on at its glowing eyes,
Punk smirked. She never lies.

Gale jumped into action, her scroll at play-
As Rocky jumped behind a bush and lay.
Sir Wawa grabbed his sword, ready to slay -
But it was Lucky... Who saved the day?

As luck would have it, he found the source,
A simple plug, pushing out the force.
Feeling absolutely no remorse
He used his knife, to end the discourse!

"That's for dad, you horrible scum"
The Dragon plummeted and succumb.
