Eldon, Part I

by @natetheworld

Martyrs from Manitou don’t die. They give of themselves completely. A life chained to the field wasn’t him. He was always meant for bigger things. The fault of a father can’t deny him. Shortcomings never make very impressive shadows. Where the father fails, the mother shines. Her love guides him. The pain stays with him to this day. You should know this, as we lower you into the ground, No man can beat him to death And you never could. Our hero is and was destined for bigger moments. War was around the corner.
