A Pawn. The most basic piece on the chessboard, the single piece that never survives the slaughter of the board. Pawns are used in histories greatest conflicts, from the knights of the crusades to the teens in a war torn Europe in the Second World War, the pawns were used in Vietnam by both sides, we drafted teenagers to death while the NVA forced children to fight the opposition. Pawns aren't expected to live long, the ones who make room for the rest of the team, the ones who no matter how much effort they put in, no matter how determined they are to finish a fight, they're put down, they're taken by other pawns and maybe if they're lucky a Queen, King, or any one of the higher ups. Even in the sense of love and popularity, you could be the one fighting for a future you have no room in. A Crusade that you shed your blood, sweat, and tears for another to enjoy. For regardless of your cunning moves the Pawn can only kill other Pawns. But sometimes a Pawns efforts can go so far, they do whatever they can, they lose themselves and shed who they are for the win. For sometimes the Pawn kills the Queen, the Pawn slays the King, a lowly peasant who's fighting for a cause not his can take the fight and make it his, for the other royal pieces who fight alongside him to bow to the weakest one who had slain those as strong as they were.
