I have told this tale many a time at story night at the Shire, even won a couple of times gp prizes for this tale. I oft recite this KSS tale I wrote, at story nites on many a shard, beyond Siege oft around March 17th.*celtic festival times*
Due to fierce storms here, chances are I will not be on anything electrical this evening.
I also put a few short tales, on UO HALL.
Remake (Battle of the Boyne)originally done for KSS, by the then Squire Miranda.
***
A Kingly host loom'd upon the stream
A monarch camped all around
Upon our fair Britania, its uplands far and wide
His gray palacial pavilion crowned.
Not long ago our sky unclouded showed,
Beneath the sparkling sun sol ray
That a gentle stream of blue silver freely flowed
To meet it's people each newborn day.
!! Suddenly Thunder! Lord British's cannons BOOM!
Echoing thunder his injustice is shown
Whilst a curtained sulphurous cloud doth gloom
And moved along, tyranny upon the virtuous was thrown!
And knight and horse lie in mingled mass
Regardless of all life.
With furious ardor onward the wounded doth pass
To fight this deadly conflict and strife.
Not at all strange that with such ardent flame
These knights of blue silver their hearts beat high
Their battle word was "Mithras " by name
Their battle cry was "Sol Invictus " justice liberty!
Onward they go onto Oulde^Brit, these silver blue clad Mithras followers
Sounds of thunder and death unwonted rang
all heard and seen the mighty clang.
Floating down the stream's gentle tide
Corpses of knight, citizen, and horse.
Now fiercer grows this battle's rage..
Yon guarded stream IS crossed.
And hand to hand and blade to blade a king betrayed us,
Hand to hand blade to blade..Shouting Sol Invictus!
!!! HE FALLS HE FALLS their knight commander falls!
He whom protected the sacred scrolls in the walls
Then they their battle mages and knights of virtue brave,
This persecuted silver serpent band
Who foremost rushed amid the hostile wave
For a time gained that hostile strand of land.
They bleed, mighty Mithras they bleed!!
For them please help them Mithras ye must intercede.
This can not be the end of their virtuous career.
And then that well contested strand o 'land
Lord British's successive waves of troops doth gain,
Whilst the Knights of the Silver Serpent died in pain
Driven back across that blood soaked plain,
Drew their blue silver swords one last time in vain
And the knights’ lives and breath away did fling
And perished' fighting the unjust King.
OH!! What better cause??
Thy witness is boldly shown
Upon the blood soaked ground
That tyranny must be over thrown!
Thy bravest and choicest fell to unjust cannons sound
There is not shame ye abandoned not the fray
Ye fought injustice and tyranny this day
So sing !
Yes sing!
Sing Harrah Harrah for Liberty, sing Harrah
For freedom's sword must continue to draw
To dare to battle those in power on high
Let ye blue silver banners fly
With grateful hearts remember to celebrate
Truth, Honor and Courage are never out of date.
No matter death, the flame will always be rekindled again
And again and fought to the death, for what is right
Is not be killed in spirit and hearts of men this night!
Something the unjust can never really fathom nor control
That the will to bring truth and justice to every heart and soul,
Can nary be killed, for Liberty and Freedom is everyone's birth right!

---I redid and remade from this tale from the original and lengthy
*real 'battle of the boyne tale'* redone for KSS and/or for good fighting evil upon Siege.---highest prize I won at assorted story nights, for this lengthy remake of a real tale was 45k
To put into context many KSS were REDS but Knights of Virtue...yet suffered the same 'injustices' via Lord British's *npcs* as did, others thus never judge a Siege book/player by their *color* !
