Children of the Stars

The King has placed himself at the head of the army, though the Guardians do not wish it. They say he is too valuable to us. I fear some obscure political manoeuvring within their factions. But the king rises above it. This morning he gave a speech… He put verse in it! - He told us to defend ourselves and not just our integrity. For the gods look on us favourably. We are, he says, all children of the stars!
