"Show me" he whispered as his voice cracked, "why?" Keeping her head low and her hand on her arm hiding the memories that scars hide. "I wanna see how many times you needed me. But I wasn't there". Tears streaming, in shame of himself he couldn't save the one who he deemed a princess, who he wanted nothing more than to be her knight in shining armor. She gently smiled, "you couldn't have saved me all those nights ago, you weren't the cause. I had my own dragons to battle." Putting her hand to his face wiping his guilt away. I don't have to fight alone, I know I have you now... she softly pulls up her sleeve, revealing them all. I'm okay, you gave me strength to fight. He smiles and kisses her arm and holds her to his heart. And he makes her a vow "you will never again be alone. I promise you, I will fight your battles with you. Not against you're my world now".
