Dark-tempered child by ford_of_bruinen

Dark-tempered child

He is a quick-silver child,
sharp-witted,
beautiful,
yet thoughtless of tongue
and dark tempered
beyond his years.
Who does he have.
this son to a house of women,
to teach him the lessons of a man.
And so through tales
both fair and foul
I attempt to teach courage
and strength of character.
He will need patience in years to come
yet once more I see him dash across the courtyard,
bloodied from another fight
and I despair.
What will come of him
this glorious princeling
if I would fail?
