Me Against the World (Simple Plan)
I would never say that I had an easy time in life. I moved to the Yamani Islands when I was young. Having to learn such strange ways and being made fun of for being the stupid foreigner. And then, we moved back to Tortall. The boys at Mindelan, how cruel! And the girls were even worse! I just could not wait until I went to the palace.
But when I got the palace, the hazing, the fights, all of the injustice towards me! How could Lord Wyldon look the other way like that! It was completely unfair. I swear sometimes it feels like it's me against the world.
Out of Line (Buckcherry)
Sometimes I feel so out of line. How could I ever think that my sweet lass would ever love a thief like me, the Rouge. I know I am the King of Thieves and all, but how could I compare to her knight master? The prince of Tortall. I should have never taught him the ways of the lower city. But this is the price of having a crooked heart, watching the lady I love fall into the arms of another man. "Like must wed like," she told me once. If Jon is "like" her, I'd eat my collection of ears! I am too far out of line. I should just leave my lass to find me on her own. I know she will see reason one of these days.
Through the Never (Metallica)
I could feel the pain, the nothingness that surrounded me; I knew my time had come. I could feel the hands on me now, the cool hands trying to bring me back. But how could anyone come back after going through the never? I know my time is short. I just wish that I could have told them just how much they meant to me, how much I wish I could live the rest of our lives together. But instead I am her, twisting and turning through the never. I wish they would just leave me and try to help somebody else, somebody who isn't experiencing the never. I lost all conscious thought as I continued to travel through the never. I then opened my eyes to my beloved.
These Foolish Things (Billie Holiday)
I know that I have done many foolish things, but until tonight, I don't think I have ever realized just how foolish I have been. I finally met her. The moment I saw Squire Keladry, I knew that I had to have been the most foolish man alive. She stood there half hidden behind her beast of a horse. I knew now that I should have never gone and tried to be with all those other girls. I knew that I should not have become the court flirt.
It has been several months now that I have loved Kel. How could I be so foolish!
Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore (Bon Jovi)
I had done a stupid thing. While we had been in a skirmish against the Scanran raiders, I tried to protect my Lady Knight. She was fighting just as hard as always, with the amazing skill and deathly grace that only Kel can achieve. But I was stupid; we had been hiding our budding romance for a month. This was the first fight that we fought together since then. I knew she could handle herself, and yet I went charging in to protect her. The anger in her eyes told me I messed up.
That night I went to her. She was cold; I hugged her and started to soften her up with kisses. I am happy to say we ain't strangers anymore. We have discovered each other in our one night of happiness. I will have to do this again sometime.
The Show Must Go On (Queen)
There was despair in the air. It weighed everything and everyone down. A tenth of Third Company gone in a single day. There has never been such a loss in the time that most of the men had joined the Own. A tenth lost and many more comrades were bound to die. This war was going to wear on the souls of every man in this room, this company. But you know what they say, "the show must go on." Third Company could not give up. They had to continue fighting, they had to hold the northern border, they had to go on. Slowly, the men left the burial. They went back and started to play games and jokes. The show must go on.
Blue Jay Way (The Beatles)
I was so sad, my little lass, she was going off to war. I would not be seeing her for months. I had been noticing the looks that the prince had been giving her. I knew he was starting to view my lass as a play thing, there was no way he could truly love her like I did. He would have to marry for the good of the realm, and a good fighter she may be, but not a queen. All that I could hope was that this war was not long, that they did not have time to start a budding romance. I prayed to the Goddess and mighty Mithros, "Please don't be long, please don't let this war take my lass away, please don't be long." I watched my lass ride out the gate to where I could not follow.
Beer Goggles (Smash Mouth)
I took another drink from my goblet. It was not fair, I was in love, but here I was marrying another. Why did this happen? It was my wedding, I was there drinking trying to forget, trying to make my pretty new wife into somebody she was not. She was not my lovely Lady Knight Keladry. She never would be. But she would be the one to help my fief. I had no choice.
Pretty Maids All in a Row (Eagles)
They were finally home in Corus. They would go into the town and have all of the pretty maids lined up and trying to please and entertain the men of Third Company. They always did. But for once, Sergeant Domitan of Masbolle could not bring himself to look at these pretty girls trying to gather his attention. She had grown up too fast. Before Dom realized it, Squire Kel was no longer a young girl, somebody who he had no problems ignoring as a friend, and only a friend. No, now she was the only maiden for him. He would not find comfort from any of these pretty maids. None of them were his Kel. The woman he would follow anywhere. The men around him where having fun, nobody noticed their leader's sad face.
Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars (Queen)
It made her sad, the lovely new Captain of the Kings Own with his laughing sapphire blue eyes. She knew that he had been with many beautiful women, all of them shapely, lady like. Why would he ever be interested in her? There was no knowing that as she sat there, the Captain in question was staring at her. He went to her.
"Kel, we are invincible together." She looked up, not believing what she heard. Hope filled her eyes. "Now that I am Captain, I can stay in the Own and marry." He swallowed hard, "Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Becoming Lady Knight Keladry of Masbolle?"
