044: We Rise at Dawn

We rise at dawn in shining armour. You brandish your sword as we watch them approach our fortress. I crouch, knowing that I am not to defend it. You will step forth, and I will fall back, shed my armour, and blend into the shadows. I will carry your knife, and I will thwart their trickeries. When their fire comes to life, I will douse it. When they think they can pin us to the walls, I will undo the walls. Our fortress might collapse, but we will live to rebuild it. They might have come to win a battle, but in its wake none of them will sing their victory.
