As Both Knight and Steed

*Many legends there be back in days of old;

Legends of bold knights upon their noble steeds.

This be a tale starring a knight and his steed

As one and the same.

 

'Twas in the Renaissance city of Poitiers

The prodigy of a holy knight was born;

Sir Nathanëal of the Salomon bloodline,

Lineage of victors.

 

He bore the heart and voice of an archangel

And the loyalty of a priest to his God.

No other horse he rode but his first and last;

Dear "Divinitus."

 

Alas, his loyalty had cost him dearly

In the midst of the Battle of Moncontour.

Thus came the end of Nathanëal Salomon.

Or so it had seemed.

 

By the hands of benevolent sorcery,

Nathanëal and Divinitus lived again,

This time sharing a peculiar physique

Of both man and horse.

 

Thus, blessed with fur of white and a mane of gold,

Well-equipped with lightweight armour and claymore,

He walked the outskirts of France slaying evil

As both knight and steed.*
