Drabble – Anonymous III

I have always made it a point to blend in. I try never to stand out or make myself apparent. That is not my purpose for being here.

I stay in the background, away from the limelight, his light. He is the one they listen too and the one they follow.

I will never seek the fortunes, never gather the precious bounty, I will not take any of it with me when I go.

I will stand behind him while the rest of the world watches.

But I will be beside him when he needs me the most.
