Challenge Submission their beginning was cursed from the start. until now

[Irakma]

let me tell you a tale of tragedy,
of mighty heroes three,
whose journey was planned from the very start,
to end with blood on their hands.

now join me as we follow these three men,
whose choices poor made their end apparent,
they were to kill a dragon, but alas,
the dragon killed them with one fatal breath.

their souls tarnished, they waited for rebirth,
until the gods threw them in the lot again,
with might ready, they slew the dragon,
removing it's scourge from this world.

but alas, for greed struck them all,
and they fell to fighting for the gold,
never feeling the curse binding them,
making them unable to leave.

for centuries they fought, strength unending,
blood forever spilled, as the gold was taken,
by thief after thief, leaving not a copper,
Til there was but an empty cave in which they stood

It was said they fought still, driven mad with greed
over gold long gone from their lives,
until we found them greeting each other as friends,
to explore the future left for them.
