Summary: Part 1 of Jaken's Ballad
The battle raged on around him and he knew in that moment that all was lost. They were out numbered, over powered and soon they would lose this fight. He was their prince, their leader, he was meant to lead them to victory and yet he would lead them to their slaughter. They had trusted him with their lives, their hope and their future and he had failed them all.
And then suddenly, he had appeared. The winds howling through the trees as though a haunting tune whispered through them, heralding his arrival. He watched in shock and disbelief as one after another of his enemies tumbled to their knees. Brought down by the unknown savior, until every last one of them were dead at their feet.
He stood in awe of the majestic creature before him, never before had he seen such raw, frightening power. The strength of his aura alone threatened to buckle his knees and then, just as suddenly as he had arrived, he was gone. Not a word spoken nor a glance shared between them. For a moment, just the briefest moment in time, he wondered if he had imagined the entire thing, but the cooling bodies at his feet, stained and blistered in poison, assured him it had been very much real.
Just as he had not been granted one, he spared his faithful followers not a single backwards glance as he rushed after the force that had just blown through the clearing; his savior.
