There lied a faithful steward

Of Sir Wright whom was the

Mightiest Knight of the kingdom

Fighting for many years and

Ravaging many lands

Refusing to retire even

When his sight was failing him

He aligned his steward to replace him in the knighthood. Knowing how to keep his sword, Chivalry sharpen and with honor. It came upon that moment as his friends gather him naming the steward with the king's blessing, Magne. Magne rode alone and he was fierce in battle. As battles fade, games increased for knights. As Magne was made a Sir, he was given an odd lad. Not very strong and clumsy, challenging his honor so he made the lad work harder. Magne got struck in the heart at a game. The lad nurse him back to health as the lad was changing. Magne walked in on the lad to show his skills and found the lad was a woman. She pleaded with Magne to keep the job however he asked her if she had a male replacement, which she sought and found. He finally spoke his feelings, for years I thought honor before pride. That love was deceiving and vain however I found a helper in you and I lay down Chivalry my honor before the one who save my life. She said before I answer I asked for your sword Chivalry. And Magne gave her the sword. She said be unto me closer than your honor and life. And they held Chivalry together forever.
