A once green and vibrant plain extends around you, its tall grasses
now crushed and trampled, the green splattered with the debris of
war. For as far as your eyes can see the field is covered with the
dead and those few lucky survivors who wander around aimlessly as
if shocked to be alive after such a fierce fight.
One armoured figure in particular catches your eye as he kneels
down and silently cleans his bastard sword on the cloak of a fallen
foe. As the last of the blood is wiped from his blade the Knight
rises to his feet, the leftover strain of battle slowing his
movements, his injuries causing a grimace of pain. While you watch
him, the look of pain fades from his face as he closes his eyes and
seems to focus his thoughts on enduring his wounds.
With a final bow of his head, to the memory and valour of his
fallen foe the Knight remounts his sandy coloured horse and rides
off to rally and aid the survivors. The killing is over but there
is more to being a Knight than just the glory of battle. A Knight
is a powerful warrior, but that power is sheathed within a code of
honour. Any Knight is not perfect, nor expected to be, but they
must always attempt to reach for that higher ideal.
