What is the meaning of Courage, he thought. Courage, tis fear mastered, and in battle I am not afraid. I will pit my wits and sword against our enemies with all my strength. But here, after the days battle, I tend to the men and my resolve fads. The evening mist covers the land as I try to stop the bleeding in Keith's leg. Damian sleeps, worn out from battle. Ryan the brave, had saved my life twice today. How I long for home. A song comes to mind, Brothers in Arms, for that is what we are.

I see a tall man pacing alone by the fire as twilight fades to night. The dark sea is barely vixible as I smell the moist air, heavy with salt. The firelight reveals Paul"s tortured face, the intensity of the day seen clearly in every line. The North wind gently blowing his hair, as if whispering tales of beyond the dark sea. "There is a wind rising," he said in a hoarse whisper. " And I dread the fading of the light."
