Sire, thy blood courses mightily the vein of our realm. And from this raging flood we are born. For, though the womb of my mother bore me, I am thy child. For in my veins, a torrent rages as I return to thy hands my own meager, humble life. Life without thy kingdom is as would be a soulless body of withered skin within a hollow soundless tomb. Only the death of me shall bring the stone crypt to bear my name. And before that moment, a thousand shall lie before me, lifeless and cold upon the crimson soils. For I am your servant, loyal to your wishes, your commands until the messenger of death stalks no more... Do with me as you will. |

Oh...oh. The story of a new name begins again... a new generation...a new write. Take us away. |

Sir, you speak with greatest chivalry and honor. Ah, to see the knights ride . . . SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
