THE HEROIC KNIGHT

"A young hero I presume, how may I help you defeat the King of Antargets"? a king asked his new knight. "give me a shield for I shield the swings, and a sword of steel to swing and defeat". The king sat on his throne thinking of the new knights request. For he knew the knight was a strong, brave and cold hearted hero. A knight who would wrestle his eyes all night to keep them open and protect the king.
