Inspired by the autobiography of the actual knight Viscount Ramon de Verellos, this ballad tells the tale of a knight who traveled across Ireland to attempt to save his dead king's soul from the damnation of purgatory. Along his travels though he discovers truth in what courage in the face of the unknown actually means.
I found out about this contest quite close to the deadline so I didn't have enough time to finish the full 14 page comic book that I had planned on after writing the ballad included in the story, but I was able to finish 8 and a half pages by the deadline. I also included the end of the ballad I wrote for your reading pleasure and I hope you enjoy it even if the rest of the art isn't finished.
