[Verse 1 – The Entrance]
Shadows curled around the stone,
Whispers of the lost and lone.
The den of Gnar stretched deep and wide,
Twisting halls where fear would hide.
Illusions danced along the walls,
Ghostly voices, phantom calls.
The others faltered, hearts grown tight,
Amanda’s lenses saw the light.
[Verse 2 – The Chasm (Jumping Zach)]
A glowing chasm tore the floor,
Illusions made it seem much more.
Jumping Zach leapt, boots aglow,
Tying rope where none would go.
The others froze, eyes full of dread,
Seeing horrors that weren’t real but spread.
Amanda whispered, “Step and trust,
The path is true, the rope won’t bust.”
[Verse 3 – Secret Door (Richard)]
A hallway endless, bending time,
Illusions cruel, almost sublime.
Richard studied the carved design,
Hidden door revealed in line.
The Gnar Beasts stirred, claws scraping stone,
Echoes of warnings in every tone.
Richard moved with careful hand,
Unlocking the passage as Amanda planned.
[Verse 4 – Guidance & Courage (Amanda)]
Illusions tried to twist their minds,
Phantoms of fears of all kinds.
Amanda’s lenses rose-glass bright,
Showed the truth within the night.
She led them past the false and fell,
Through echoing halls of haunted spell.
Step by step, the path was clear,
Her calm voice cutting through their fear.
[Verse 5 – Combined Tension]
Floors crumbled, walls would shift,
Magical traps gave a deadly lift.
Each hazard needed skill and speed,
Each child’s strength the key to succeed.
Zach’s leaps, Richard’s mind,
Amanda’s sight kept them aligned.
Together facing both thought and stone,
Until the inner lair was fully shown.
[Verse 6 – The Dragon Awaits]
The air grew hot, the shadows thick,
A low rumble, a heartbeat quick.
Scorched bones of past adventurers lay,
As the Gnar Dragon stirred to play.
No illusions now, the danger real,
Every lesson would soon reveal.
The children ready, hearts as one,
For the final fight had begun.
[Tavern Chorus]
Through the den where fears ran wild,
Three heroes fought, the truth beguiled.
Zach leapt high, Richard unlocked the way,
Amanda’s sight kept death at bay.
The Gnar dragon would not break their will,
Through courage, cunning, and skillful thrill.
Bards will sing in every hall,
Of the day the den was faced by all.
