Once there was a knight. He dressed himself in the armor of Love and black leather. His shield was strong and had defended him against many a foe. His sword, long and sharp, made of truth, honesty and heart-felt love, was the strongest it could ever be. A warrior..... His mount was quick and steady and you could hear the hoof-falls as he rode. Many a maiden he saved from the fates of despair. Many a war he fought....               

This warrior's heart was true strong and just. He was faithful to his cause and his Mistress. Never showing second thoughts, never having any to show. His Goddess and God were behind him in his cause. To be with the one true love of his life. In a past life, he had given his lover up so she might be free and so they would not be hunted down for his betrayal to his master, for she belonged to him.

For 1000 years his soul searched for his perfect mate. For 100 lifetimes he waited for her to be brought back to him. His Goddess and God were punishing him for taking his own life, but, now was his time. His turn to prove himself and his love for the Maiden of his dreams.           

They met on a cold winters eve. She had been forced to leave her home and took refuge at a friends home, near our Knight. A beautiful woman, dark hair, hazel eyes, a great build, she was just as he had seen her last, all those years ago. He recognized her instantly, and knew NOW was his time!

She was married! How could his Goddess be so cruel to the knight? He thought.....         

Days passed, she had returned to her home. Then Fate, the gods game of irony, came into play, she was needed here. A friend was taken ill and she came to help. Our knight had never revealed himself or his love for this maiden to her or any one. Her husband divorced her in a flash for coming to her female friends aid. Our knight felt her pain so intensely he could no longer contain himself, he told her how he felt and found she felt the same.

They were the couple dreams are made of, they did every thing for each other they could do. They were in love. Birds would sing sweet melodies as the couple walked past them, flowers would bloom brilliantly and the sun would smile on them, night skies were filled with twinkling stars and the moon would light their way as they walked hand in hand. All was good.....       

One day it was over. The Maiden lost her love for the knight because of another, a demon of unspeakable character. A one-time ally of the Knight, he was a demon just the same. No morals, no shame, he drove his line of deceit deep into the maidens heart and blinded her of the love she felt for the Knight. His power was so great the maiden threw away her one chance to finally be happy forever.                 

She crushed our Knight.....

His days are filled with questions he may never be able to ask or answer. Anxiety attacks are a way of life for him now. All his fight is gone.... his sword and shield lay beside him, his armor has lost its luster...... All is lost......... Our knight is all alone, sadness grips his heart.......
