“Slaying demons is a warrior’s claim,
Until a demon tells its tales,
Though a warrior sees the stakes,
A demon’s heart he must take.”

“A Ravaging Sentinel's Vow by Stewart Stafford
State your love for me now —
Agreed, a cracked heart pledge,
Defying your many flaws,
martyring me to betrayal's dredge.
At your darkest dawn —
My fealty oath holds true,
when every back is turned,
a redeeming ravager’s purview.
A sentinel’s dust trail climbs high,
hooves thunder; the sundial stops,
A vow declared, enemies routed,
disaster reined on teetering clifftops.

A sentinel’s dust trail climbs high,
hooves thunder; the sundial stops,
A vow declared, enemies routed,
