How often do you put yourself on the line for others? Shining Armor asks himself this every time he looks over the battlefield. He put himself on the line so many times he lost track. It wasn't until he was captured that he learned that not everyone wants him to be the sacrifice. To save another means saving yourself. However, sometimes that means being rescued.
