Shadowmere: Eyes or Life

I wanted to make another rhyming poem of some sort about Skyrim, and i guess this is chapter one of something i was trying for. It's just a set of chapters of a short story. Please tell me what you think and I hope who ever reads this, will enjoy it as much as i do. :3
Property of Taliber

Chapter 1:

Shadowmere: Eyes or Life

Walking alone one day,
he realized walking was lame,
so he went on his way,
to find a horse he could tame.

He saw black ones, and red ones and brown ones so keen,
but every last one of them showed anger and was mean.

So he climbed a mountain up so high,
just to find a man named 'nice guy'
and to his surprise, he realized,
that the horse he was looking for,
had red eyes.

As he finally made it,
to the top of the mountain,
there he saw it,
a black horse jumped out of a fountain,

He couldn't believe what he saw,
a man right next to him in black with a claw,
reaching his claw to his neck he asked,

"I'll give you him, if you can complete a task"

"And what task would that be? dark one"
he asked with a troubled voice,

"Surely not as hard as getting to the sun"
thinking as if he had a choice,

"For one, you must know"
seeking his claw closer to is neck,

"This task may take a tole"
attempting to put the man in check,

"A tole it may take"

shaking slightly from the site of the claw,

"But it's a choice i will have to make"

So this man, named 'nice guy'
attempted to make the man realize,
that this task that be was about to ask him to do,
may take his eyes or...
may take his life.

"One but not both"
the dark one spoke,
"But this burden is on you to betroth"
in a tone to provoke.

So the man decided,
that he needed this horse,
so then he provided,
an answer to this taskful course.

"I will take your task"

the man spoke with pride,

"But i must ask, will you be my guide?"

the dark one rose,
with a deep voice,

"I guess... i suppose"

thinking as if he had no choice.

So there they were,
walking closer and closer to a cave,
the dark one in anger,
wishing that the man would have found his own way.

"I've walked so long to guide you here"

the dark one pointed,

"now do my task so you can have the horse shadowmere"

So there he was staring at the cave,
stepping closer trying to prove he was brave,
but as he walked into the darkness,
he found his true path to be aimless.

"What exactly is your task?"


the man asked in question,






"I don't know if i even asked"

the man spoke in suppression.

"Walk into the cave and find my gem
so that i may feel life again"

speaking with a small growing frown,

"For you see i may be dark,
but understand that i have no heart"

"Alright... sounds easy enough"
speaking while acting so tough,
"I'll find that gem, and be on my way"
walking in without another say,

but as he walked in, he heard another voice,

"Come in, come in, for you must make a choice"

BAM! You're on a roll now, Taliber! Though I must admit, I'm a sucker for Shadowmere, so your latest poem definitely caught my eye. And when can we expect Chapter 2? Like, 37 minutes ago?

actually i'm working on it as we speak :3 it's not easy to rhyme this many times in a row and not repeat yourself lol

But we all know you are up to the task
After all, Taliber, who else would we ask?

hahaha that's nice, you made me smile x3
I'm sorry you might have to wait a little while
for the story I'm writing is not yet complete,
but i promise you it will be so very sweet

No worries about the wait.
