Author's Notes: In a spur of the moment thing I decided to write a poem about Dark Knights. Why Dark Knights? Simple, they are arguably my favorite Job in all of Final Fantasy (Paladin, Black Mage, Sage, Dragoon and Mystic Knight being my other favorites). Well without further ranting:

P.S. I know it doesn't rhyme, but that is my style of Poetry.

Tale of a Dark Knight

You went, in search of battle

You went, to test your mantle for home and country

You went and have proven yourself again and again

And now, again

Encased in the black armor of sin you go to defeat foes

Unleashing your rage

Your horror

Your loathing

And all your self hatred

You have left yourself battered, beaten and above all…

Vulnerable

A healer comes to attend to your plights

But you wave them away and return to the fight

For the path you've chosen

The Path of Darkness

Is a lonely one

You come to the middle of the battlefield

An epicenter of chaos

For you revel it

And you feed it to your fell blade

Empowering it to fight further

Why must you torture yourself so?

Do not realize that you fight evil with evil?

… Or perhaps,

You fight for a better tomorrow?

You are an eternal, everlasting blight on the world

You are a Dark Knight

And now you have come to me

To fight

To die

Author's notes: So that is it. I hope you like it. I tried to capture the image of Dark Knight, but in my own view of the Job Class. Try looking for the antithesis I wrote to this, Tale of a Paladin.
