The Quest (Wizard of Earthsea, grade 10)

 A long journey with few rewards,
Travelling to places unknown>
Coming across hideous, dangerous,
humongous monters.
Never knowing your future, or perhaps
even the next step.
Not knowing what your destiny is or where
it is leading to
Many people just give up, and others
just die.
There is no way to escape your quest
Because your quest is your life.
The only definite thing is that when your quest is complete,
You're left with pride, honour, and a great
sense of accomplishment.
