Sir Gawain

There was a knight who was tested not by strength, but by restraint.

He accepted a challenge knowing it could cost him his life. He kept his word even when fear followed him across frozen ground and dark forests.

When he failed — not completely, but enough to matter — he did not hide. He did not excuse himself. He stood, admitted the truth, and accepted correction.

He was spared not because he was flawless, but because he was honest and steady under pressure.

And he learned that peace is not the absence of fear — it is the courage to face it without losing honor.
