57612 - The luminous sword

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

The luminous sword had given courage
to all those who believed.
But it had frightened the shadows
because they understood that he had succeeded
in coming before they managed
to conquer the monastery.
The resistance of the faithful
had delayed their attacks
and now it was too late
for them to defeat faith.
The Knight did not allow them
to retreat.
He had to hit upon
the barbaric attack
in order to protect the innocent.
Therefore in front of the church
of the monastery
he ousted all the shadows
and they rang the bells
for all the faithful of the region to learn
that the monastery had not fallen.
With them the horn was heard
which was saying
about the victory of light.
