[QUOTE="Brother Allard, post: 3397613, member: 49563"] Here's a slightly more detailed version of the same concept. To look into Willem's round, freckled face is to understand that he was never destined for greatness. In a simpler time, he would have been a farmer, and even now a great part of him yearns for that life - the life of his father. But things being what they are, he was impressed into the militia in the early days of the war and forced to take up spear and shield in defense of his home. Somehow, miraculously, he survived his first battle. And then his second. And then his third. And somewhere along the road he began to develop a deeper understanding of martial combat. His burgeoning talents were soon recognized and he was pulled back from the front and given special training, arms and armor. Over the long years of the war, he survived many conflicts he should not have, and died and was risen more times than he cares to remember. Always he returned to defend Bylan, to defend his home and family and his brothers and sisters in arms. At war's end, it was not only his sword arm that was weary. But there are few who now live who could best him at arms, and fewer still who could stand in his place. And so he serves. But in the dark of night, alone in his billet, he dreams of tilled earth and laughing children. [/QUOTE]
