This I’ll defend,

unto my death.

This I’ll defend,

’til final breath.

This I’ll defend,

I’m honor bound.

This I’ll defend,

for King and Crown.

This I’ll defend,

these castle walls.

This I’ll defend,

these sacred halls.

This I’ll defend,

forever free.

This I’ll defend,

I vow to thee.

    This reminds me of A Darkness At Sethanon, and one of my favourite anti-heroes, Guy.

        It is part of quite a nice series, although I prefer Feist’s collaboration with Wurts on the Empire series.

    When I saw this, I thought of House of the Dragon. 😀 Your poem, as always, is exquisite!
