Cadeyrm - Battle King

The battle hardened warrior stood solemnly upon the war torn land the battlefield before him covered with the life's blood of his warriors battle armour, sword and shield lay strewn across the land. Flags fluttered in the breeze as grim testimony to the fierce and bloody battle which before his very eyes had been bravely fought with his fellow countrymen giving their lives for that which they had sworn to defend the very land upon which death now ruled. His warrior Queen by his side her allegiance to him the same as those who had come before her she swore to give her life, if called upon for her Lord! her King! her Husband! The ground, soaked with the blood of warriors young and old lay open before them like that of a bloody wound received victouriously in battle. The once pristine beauty of the land upon which they now stood lay clenched in deaths mighty grip a stark reminder of the ravages of battle. With a warriors cry long born of anger his sword raised to the heavens he vowed his life's blood that those who lay before him would be avenged. As he turned to walk away he heard the shrill call of an eagle overhead this was to him a sign felt throughout his very soul that his cry had been heard and he knew he would be victorious in his quest.
