Kneeling before the Senate Dame
They knew why she was here, before she came
The recorder, noted the smell of blood
Others arriving, the soon to be flood

Then in a flurry the guard attacked
Valiantly, the Dame fought back
Some joined in, while others watched the scene
Dividing them as the un-named one stood serene

By the end of it all, they numbered one and twenty
Knowing the odds, they felt there was plenty
So they took off amid the flurry and buzz
The un-named one leader, just because

To the border they flew, like a hot arrow
Until they circled the first of the Red Wing Barrows
The pause was so strong, the silence wary
Strike them down now, or be lost if they tarried

I will be posting the book version as well.
