The Second Mountain

Once upon a time, there appeared a monster,
Scaring everyone, like a looming disaster,
Turning to gold, all that it touched,
Making people lifeless, leaving them crushed.

Once upon a time, a hero was born,
Raising people's hope, treating gold with scorn,
With a human touch, it could bring stone to life,
And stir in heart all feelings, from love to strife.

Once upon a time, an epic battle ensued,
On the first mountain, the hydra gold pursued,
With each head chopped, another one came,
'Statue' and 'Over', they were engrossed in the game.

Once upon a time, the mountain shifted,
The grail was not hoarded, but freely gifted.
