The Grey-Cloaked Chevalier

On the misty night of winter solstice,

Walked a figure on the streets laden with ice.

Invading the obsidian Woodland with a great zeal,

In a grey robe with his head under the silver curtain veil.

He had long, wavy, raven hair gathered at the back of his head,

His eyes were hazel grey, with verve and fervour inbred.

He wore an onyx-embedded wristlet in his left hand,

And a platinum-Star Jade was tugged on his waistband.

He raised his cinereous Dragon Crescent blade,

And led the Abaddon manor's level 9 cavalcade.

They charged through the Grim-Realm Alley,

And annexed the Blood-feeding Monster's Valley.

The troops stood around in a formation to slay,

But they were trapped in the soul devouring array.

The grey-robed warrior held his crescent blade high,

And decimated the enemy lancers without a sigh.

He commanded his cavalrymen to activate the magnetic dissolving rune,

That buried all the soul snatching needles in the iron-rich sand dune.

Then to lure the sanguivorous Behemoth out of his hinterland,

He gashed his palm with his blade and sprinkled his blood on the sand.

The Behemoth was mesmerized by the scent of ichor,

As for him the blood was like a sweet fragrant liquor.

To guzzle this ambrosial ale, he barreled across the Everglade,

Then pounced upon the envoy in grey and blocked him from picking up his blade.

To defeat the Behemoth, he summoned his beast; the Sable-maned Sphinx,

And cast the spell to absorb the vitality of the Behemoth inside his onyx.

The Behemoth with all his energy being drained out laid helpless on the ground,

With his demonic vein being ruptured, the ectoplasm kept dripping from his wound.

The Behemoth capitulated to the Grey knight; and implored him to spare his weanling,

Who would inherit the legacy of his demon race and rule the fiend fiefdom as their king.

The Grey-cloaked ambassador proposed a pact to accept his request,

Which stated the de-demonization of the heir of the demonic bequest.

De-demonization is a gut-wrenching and a soul -exhausting technique,

Thousand spear-shaped shards pierce the bones and injure the internal physique.

It extravasates the demonic residue from the vessels and causes a painful fatigue.

Which enervates the inner force and gives an affliction so unbearably unique.

A neonate with little level of cultivation, and almost no inner power can hardly survive,

As such an excruciating suffering and internal mutilations won't let him remain alive.

So the Behemoth transferred all his remaining internal energy into his offspring,

And to mitigate the lethal torture, he gave him his inner-force radiating ring.

The Behemoth used this ring to collect the inner forces of those, he had killed before,

Thus the ring on need can circulate the stored inner force inside the demonic core.

The Behemoth for his enormities was slaughtered as a sacrifice,

And the knight in gray repreived the demonic child as per the armistice.

The soldiers of the Abaddon's clan insisted on detaining the young fiend,

But the Gray-robed General won't go back on his words as he was self-esteemed.

Yet few of the soldiers wanted to eradicate the descendant of the devil race,

Thus, they took the little devil to immolate him in the most sinister place.

But soon the tables turned as the young demon metamorphosed into the Adult Behemoth,

So the devil had been using his bone-constricting skill to shrink his appearance of mammoth.

The soldiers realised that they had been double-crossed by the wicked clan,

And discovered that all those happenings a while ago were a part of the devil's plan.

So the one who just got assassinated was actually the Ogre of the demonic clique,

While the real Behemoth stayed hidden under the manoeuvre so profound and mystique.

The soldiers then hurriedly sent the signal flare to other side of the hill ,

To inform their commander about the heinous scheme and the impending peril.

The commander in gray was looking for the other soldiers while being on the standby,

And immediately summoned the golden-winged Griffin, on receiving the flare from the sky.

Alas, When the grey knight and the other soldiers reached there,

They found the broken bones devoid of flesh and gore everywhere.

Witnessing the sight of annihilation of his clansmen; the General took a bloody oath,

To wipe out the entire demonic Lineage of the blood-thirsty Behemoth.

He ordered the remaining Abaddon army to fight till their last breath,

And avenge their comrade-in-arms by putting the sadistic monster to death.

The Abaddon troops alongwith the General infiltrated the foyer of Demonic citadel,

And the fire-spitting demon put the hallway on fire to send the remaining Abaddons to hell.

The Abaddon's were tricked again and now trapped in the vitality-burning flames of the infernal fire,

The Golden-winged Griffin protected the Gray knight by engulfing the raging flames of the diabolical pyre.

The General couldn't bear watching his people struggling in the deadly strife.

Later, even the Griffin lost its spiritual vitality and couldn't not sustain its life.

Vitality-burning hellfire would neither let them live and not let them die in peace,

Hence, the gray-robed knight massacred his own people to let them die with ease.

To release his people from the searing tribulations, the General got his hands tainted with the blood of his own clade,

Ergo, to atone for his sin of euthanasia the Chevalier in Gray decapitated himself by his Dragon Crescent Blade.

People in the world can't be always classified as entirely good or evil and black or white,

As there are also people who reflect the intermediate shade like the Grey-cloaked Knight.
