Daily Create: The Plains of Maug

Out they rode, the warriors two, Ies Maug eldest daughter,
Eldest daughter, eldest daughter of the queen,
And Nilt Maugiep, the eldest son,
Son the eldest of the queen, son the eldest,
They rode forth out onto the plains of Maug,
Sister and brother they rode.

They fought the dragon, mighty Smaug, 
They fought the dragon on the plains.
His claws came scraping, scraping hard across the plains,
Carving out the Bay of Austurquas,
Carving out the Bay of Nilt Raug
The claws of mighty Smaug, mighty Smaug.

Then Ies Maug thrust her sword deep into the dragon's eye,
Its eye, its gleaming evil eye
And Nilt Maugiep his sword deep into the other eye,
The dragon's other gleaming evil eye.
Shrieking, screaming in defeat it crawled away,
The dragon crawled beneath the waters,

Its body lies there till this day,
Clutching still its pearl of power,
The pearl of power in its claws.
Till this day the dragon lies beneath the waters,
'Tween the Lowlands of Old Maug Aum
And the isle of Aususilq so fair, so fair,
The isle of Aususilq so fair.

Note: This is for today's Daily Create. The dragon image is from OpenClipArt. I hadn't originally included the reference to the pearl of power but I added that after I chose the image.
