Knight of the Masquerade- Part One

chill; evening; darkest moon; slowly approaching; shroud of darkness; castle appearing; from the mist the knight emerges; gallant knight so young and brave; armor of steel...sword of silver; well put together is this knight; massive steed so strong and powerful; white as the snow...swift as the wind; brilliant knight on steed approach; lower the drawbridge is shouted from within; soldiers obey and the bridge opens...like the great mouth of a dragon; the knight is hesitant knowing what lies ahead; it is not the people who scare him but his fear of revealing...revealing his true emotion; he cannot let his guard down; his mind races; remember your training...be strong, be steadfast; you are a knight of the castle; you must set an example; be strong...be courageous; show no fear...never give up; entering the town the knight flips up his visor yet puts on a mask; a mask of happiness; his steed halts...he slowly dismounts; he is greeted by friends and family; the mask remains intact; to see the king the knight now goes; pondering which mask should he use now; a mask of victory is now put on; the king is greeted...long live the king; the king is pleased; the knight leaves the court;
