The Faerie Knight of Yellowstone
from BLATTLE OF THE BLANDS by assorted artists
track by Clementine (@LevonErrol)
Annie Roland was a faerie knight protector of the wood to Yellowstone she gave her heart for the Magic, gave her blood on that sunny day in Yellowstone the Garages came to town with Jaylen Hotdogfingers cursed pitcher on the mound Jaylen bore a heavy debt From the void she'd returned with incendiary pitches to mark those the umps would burn but Annie walked up to the plate wings fluttering with grace held up her bat and took her stance with a brave smile on her face When the pitch came Annie didn't flinch though the ball struck hard and true and Jaylen shrugged as if to say “there's nothing I could do” so Annie tossed her bat away turned her face toward the sky as the shadow of the moon over the sun began to climb and in the dim eclipse light a rogue umpire drew near eyes glowing red behind its mask but Annie showed no fear She took her silver sword in hand raised it high and struck her foe blood stained the ground a ruddy brown and the umpire's head it rolled the next day Jaylen pitched again in that series for the ages and again the moon turned day to night and the umpires burned with rage But Annie shied not from the plate went to bat with head held high and the ball again struck hard and true when Jaylen let it fly The rogue umpires gathered round Annie watched the horde advance and though she drew her silver sword she knew she was outmatched but then came Jaylen to her side and said “I'll fight with you today-- I never chose this cursed life but this is not your debt to pay.” Their teammates did look on in fear as the umpires swarmed around and in the dim light, blood and dust did hide the battleground but Annie felt her strength again and Jaylen fought as though possessed with wooden bat and silver sword the umps they put to rest and when the moon went on its way golden sunlight then did fall on Annie, silver sword in hand and Jaylen, standing tall
