Title: Battle of Willowford
Author: Gotter McVay
Two hundred stood at Willowford, The day the legion came. Ten score sons of Kernunos that fought in freedom's name. They stood and faced their fate that day, though all would surely die. Two hundred sworn to face all foes, they held the banner high.
Their foemen came two thousand strong, arms glittering in the sun. The Kernhost stood unflinching stone, for they would yield to none. They held the line at water's edge, the River Dawn ran red. And the live were soon outnumbered by the dying and the dead.
From noon till dusk the battle rage, The Kernhost lines grew thin. With lowered pike they stood their ground, proud warriors to the end. The red sun set at Willowford as the last Kernwarrior fell, But not before a thousand foes had found their way to Hell.
