what is it like to be a knight

"a knight can be strong; a knight can be skilful; a knight can be smart but what truly makes a knight is someone who can walk onto the battlefield passing by the bodies of their comrades and ready their sword for an unbeatable army raging towards them." the knight shouted as the boy unsheathed their sword and ran with all their might towards their death

"so fight on, fight until your body is about to break into a thousand pieces and keep on fighting! and when you face your last breath, draw on all your strength and endure because we do fight to fight but to see their faces once more is what it means to be a knight" the knight said as he watched the boy fall to his knees surrounded by the bodies of his enemies.

"I... I need to get up but I took all their lives." the boy cried out to break the silence of the dead

"and when you realise what you have to give up to protect those who you live stand up and give a reason to their deaths," the knight said picking the boy up and walking away from the battlefield.
