Author's notes: I wrote a poem about Dark Knights (Tale of a Dark Knight), so I decided to write one about the class' antithesis, Paladins. Though I like Dark Knights better (and with cooler armor!), I find Paladins quite good.

P.S. Ah hell, I might as well do one for every class! (Does not mean I will)

Tale of a Paladin

You come, in search of helplessness

You come, to protect your fellows

You come and prove yourself again and again,

And now, once more

Veiled in the white armor of redemption you come to arms

Protecting your family

Your home

Your friends

And all those strangers

You have taken their wounds, your own, and left yourself…

Weak

You see several of your comrades wounded

And you wave your hand so they can fight

For the path you've chosen

The Path of Light

Is a self-sacrificing one

You come to the middle of the battlefield

An epicenter of loss

You take the lead

And you sacrifice for their sakes

So that they may fight on

Why must you sacrifice so much?

Do you not see the pain you put yourself through?

… Or perhaps,

You fight for their tomorrow?

You are an eternal, everlasting ray through the clouds

You are a Paladin

And now you have come to me

To fight

To die

Author's notes: So here it is. I'm thinking of doing a Black Mage one next, after I finish a few chapters for my other stories.
