Though the captains and all the kings
Adora covered her son with a blanket. The boy had fallen asleep by the tree.
She sighed and moved back to the window.
"Wyatt why do you need to be so noble?" She moaned under her breath.
Not that she normally minded her husbands chivalry, but it was Christmas. Their first Christmas in the desolate, middle of nowhere cabin in the woods. And her husband,the tender Wyatt Cain with the quick smile and courageous heart,was out saving the O.Z.
"Well Addy" She admonished herself. "You had to go and marry Captain Cain."
She turned back to the window and looked back out to the stars.
"Well. There's always next year."
Maybe the war would be over by then. And if they still lived here or in the city, or even banished to the realm of the unwanted, So long as they were together,everything would be fine.
Adora began lighting candles and setting them in the window. She took up the song her son had sang earlier
"Silent night no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
And that young soldier sings
And the song of peace still rings
Though the captains and all the kings"
