An Angel Among Us
When asked of what a knight is, what would your answer be? How would you describe a worthy knight?
The knight, is not simply a man who fights. He is not merely a combat brute. Neither is he simply a warrior of the church or an officer of one organisation or another. No. These are not the essence of the knight that makes him a great man. A true knight, is a virtuous hero who embodies perfection. His combat prowess, compassion and noble stature elevates him from being simply a soldier, to being a holy warrior.That is what sets him apart from a normal warrior.
Nobility . Generosity . Courtesy . Loyalty . Strength
Humility . Kindness . Wisdom . Love . Faith
These are all but some of the virtues that the knight may choose to uphold. He, is an avatar amongst men. Meant to be looked upon with great honor and respect.
An honor-bound warrior and a holder of ideals. He lives for his ideals, be these for the good of self, country or mankind.
The knight is a man willing to endanger self and die for the sake of his ideals. He will fight till the end to uphold his virtues. Defend the week. Uphold justice. Aid those in need. Submissive to his lord. He is an angel amongst men.
