He paused briefly Then sprinted with full gust Against the unforgiving odds. Valor, Honor, and Trust
The night was clear, A noiseless escape, A silver glimmer of hope, A journey to make.
He swept through the city Like an eagle in the night, His heart pounding mercilessly Like a thief's final flight.
He stole past the grave castle Standing tall in silence. He then prayed for her safe keeping, To protect her from this violence.
Her sapphire eyes Caught his through the glass. He reached for her vainly And she breathed her last.
Alas! All is lost. The hour is gone. The dew turned into frost.
His strength then failed him. He fell on his knees. The city erupted. The merriment ceased.
There was a scream in her chamber. The laments of the queen. Who was responsible? There was no one to be seen.
He gathered his breath. With one final gust. Her sapphire eyes renewed him. Valor, Honor, and Trust.
