Blood Oath of the Paladin

Blood Oath of the Paladin

by the Grey Paladin

"Bear witness, O Divine Goddess!

"For I swear by your divine light
of the moon and the stars,
To uphold your justice
By sheltering your children
under my shield.
And to vanquish the foes of the Light,
with the stroke of my sword.

"O Divine Wisdom,
Guide my faltering steps through
the shadowy and treacherous paths,
So that I might gain enlightenment
and salvation of my soul."
