A Magic Moment at An Tir-West War
The first time it happened was on the Saturday morning before the battle. The King alighted a resplendent horse drawn chariot. The Queen mounted a midnight-black steed. Escorted by their Royal Retinue, the Crowns of An Tir processed through the entire camp rallying the troops to battle. To hear His Majesty’s proud voice boom to His subjects “An Tir to War!” and to see the beauty in Her Majesty’s graceful smile was inspiring.
Walking behind Their Royal Majesties, I looked behind me as we turned a corner in the path, to see a never-ending line of An Tirians who had joined our procession to the field in response to the battle cry. I hadn’t known just how large the entourage behind us had grown. It felt incredible to know that there exists such overwhelming support for An Tir, and to realize that I was proud to be a part in the making of An Tir history. Goose bumps raised the hair on my arms and a shiver went up my spine. This was the first time I had experienced a truly ‘magic moment’ in the SCA. This was why I had answered "yes" when asked if I wanted to be part of a Royal Retinue. Little did I know what was in store when I first uttered that small but powerful word, and that there would be many more ‘magic moments’ to come.
I give thanks to Dux Darius Corvinus and Cometessa Morgaine Brigantia for asking me to be part of their Retinue. The magic couldn’t have happened without them.
