the honorable knightA Chapter by joshua deathdealer11/2011 (Fantasy Installment Three)
He walked among the horrific battlefield,
taking in sights of body strewn stretches as far as the eye could see, a war in the name of some decree from some greedy king His brothers called to him, ready to celebrate another victory, to mull through the spoils of conquest, taking from the helpless and the weak, to humiliate and rob them of mere possessions Shaking his head, the knight silently strode away from the massacre, making his way into the quiet forest, the order was not being followed, carnage now the corrupter of honor and chivalry Screams sounded close by, upon investigation he could see a belligerent solider of the crown dragging a vulnerable dame into the thicket to have his way with her Rushing in, he knocked the assailant off of her and pulled his sword, snickering the crazed man stood pulling his own, lifting it high, he charged at the steady savior, intent on cutting him down The honorable knight side stepped and stabbed his opponent through the chest, sinking the hilt all the way through before tearing it out, the deranged man dropped lifelessly to the foliage Looking around the victor could see the forms of his once so called brothers creeping toward him, in response he raised a long forgotten battle cry, "We are knights of the order, honor is our life"
