Chant of Battle

The Drum doesn't inspire courage so much as demand it. A Bard who knows the Chant of Battle plays not to the ears but to the body, to the legs that want to move, the arms that forget to hesitate, the heartbeat that finds itself matching the rhythm before the mind notices. In combat, that's enough.
