[QUOTE="Drasche, post: 2562252"] [b]Knight Life[/b] [i]*After deciphering the script, another page is scrawled and placed just to the left of the original*[/i] Were I a man of honor and prestige I would approach you, dear paige But this life of mine has driven me to depths I would never have approached willingly A sauntering gait to match my dismal conditioning The regimen of Hell itself, seemingly I, too, stand here, in this grande ballroom, and glare at the masks of the masses You seem as disinterested in the affair as I am ‘Tis folly to follow the fools whose façades damn the naïve Yet they draw you in, to feast on the flesh of man My king sends me around the world as a herald These travels wear away at my very soul A lowly knight to follow orders -and attend the soirées of the cheery nobles Another night in this wretched place, filled with drinking and dancing and merriment Another night to loathe those who lavish in their comfort Another night for drowning my sorrows Another night to watch those who, as I, cannot find a suitable consort It truly is one thing to live in war, and another to live in peace I find I cannot do either So I try to be blissfully content in my solitude -and do those things to please my sire What brings you to this miserable party? Who are these people that have jaded your heart? Where are these places that you hide your hurt? How is it that life has taken your spirit apart? My apologies, I don’t want to intrude I just hate to see a crushed perspective like mine own The eyes behind the mask compelled me to ask The words of your parchment are as a bleeding wound If nothing else, remember that you aren’t alone This world is filled with both joy and sorrow And as I ride off to another assignment -don’t forget that there’s always a new tomorrow.
