Balthazar rode for seven long years,
eastwards and far, he followed his star, and it brought him here.
To a stable in ruins in some backwater town,
to a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown.

I couldve played safe,
but in the end the journeys brought joys that outweigh the pain."

what you believe.
So saddle your horse and shoulder your load, burst at the seams, be what you
dream, and take to the road.
