Man's need to be heard and respected has lead to many rebellions, revolutions and coups. During the Third Crusade, men, doing what they believed to be right, became legends that time refuses to forget. From Ivanhoe to Robin Hood, our legends are riddled with the downtroddened and their refusal to go silently into the night.
I thought about motives. What makes a man go from peace time pacifist to one that seeks revenge? What values and lifestyles would belong to someone who walks that line? Why does one man accept his lot in life while another fights for something more? I decided that some men and women are born wolves that wish to be sheep. They wish to have those precious little commodities like family and a day's hard work even though they are capable of legendary things.
The following tale is one wrought with angst and denial. To believe that you are something you aren't for the sake of having something that many would consider to be simple is both honorable and dangerous. Fate has a tendency to force those wolves into the light.
We can only hope that there are foxes nearby to help put things back in order.
