Knight
A knight is born to serve.
When trouble threatens the realm, he must ride off to battle.
Yes, he may fall, but he's prepared for death - this is what makes a knight noble. For even onto death his fealty holds true, to God, King and realm, and honour that which he swears by, to always protect and defend that which he cherishes the most.
The greatest fear is not the spear of his foe, nor the arrows that cuts down many a brave souls. It is when courage fails, and he turns back in fear from all that he had sworn to protect.
Sometimes his fight may seem foolhardy, even suicidal, but that is better than to be branded a coward and to forever live in its shame.
War has its risk, but we will never know the outcome unless we charge off and fight. There can be no victory without sacrifices.
I'm fighting for you.
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
-- C.S. Lewis
