The Epitaph of Gurash the Brash

[RiverNotch]

"It was no surprise that Gurash the Brash could not slay the dragon.
Though it was a surprise that finally, the dragon managed to slay Gurash the Brash."

I don't think one normally titles epitaphs, so I'll take the title as a placeholder.
Yeah, the piece does demand too much to fully work -- that last line cannot be anything but overlong -- but otherwise, I kinda like it. It reads like a video game easter egg, maybe something you'd see in a Tamrielic jokebook. As for specifics, you could try pushing it -- 'finally', I imagine, could hold more detail -- and for the first line, well, contractions are your friend?
