They stood before the world;

Swinging their weapons with tired arms.

Fighting for their lives.

Fighting for each other.

Shielding one another;

From means of certain harm.

Backed into the corner, still;

Fighting through the fears.

Blood and sweat, spit and tears.

Seventeen years.

War-forged armor.

Battle-tested bond.

"My Queen, retreat from my sword-side"!

Abscond.

The world marches closer;

Like an inevitable fate.

Burning arms...

Still cutting through the war.

Eyes forward.

Shield up.

Blood across his face.

Knuckles broken.

Few words spoken.

"Until the sun ceases to rise"!

Widened eyes.

The sun drops from the sky.

Darkened views.

A falling crown.

A castle tears apart.

A sharpened blade from behind;

Cuts straight through the heart.

Glimmering steel.

Kneel before the scene.

A King fights for love...

Just to fall at the hand of his very own Queen.
