The Siege: Breach
“Heartbreaker! Heartbreaker!”
“What is it?”
“They’ve breached through the gates, enemies are flooding the courtyard as we speak.”
“Let them come, this day has come before, and will come again. Each and every day we face enemies, some days are clouded, others filled with sunshine. But we fight. Each and every day. They live for something. I live to die peacefully… How can they expect me to fall in battle?
Can’t they see my banner?! The broken heart has been waving ever since the day I first set foot in this castle. Why do they come here? To face the phantom, to face the beast, bring my head back on a plate to please their masters.”
“… Their numbers concern me. We will have to fight for days and nights again.”
“We’ve done it before, haven’t we?”
“Yes but sir… Yes, I am young, but I am fragile. I am not as hardened as you are.”
“Nor are you as weary as I am. Listen, from this day and on I want you to stop calling me sir. You are my most trustworthy man, you are the only man who has passed through those doors since… ever. You see, you and I, we are very much alike. But your heart hasn’t been broken yet.”
“I…?”
“Listen time will come when you will understand that you and I are brothers. Fighting for what’s right, side by side, ’til our hearts stop beating. So let our heart beat as one heart. And should one of us fall, the other one will pick him up!”
