A short story to be written in 50 words not one word less, not one word more!, for the Freewriters community to #ZapFic50Friday contest. Prompt: "kneel"
Highborn of Iron
Surrounded by the bodies of fallen warriors, kneeling and breathless, the last survivor faced his destiny. With no noble blood in his veins, he shed enough in every battle to be named a true knight. The king's heavy sword, held over his head, was about to seal his final oath.
