Leadership: the other side of the coin of loneliness or the alchemy of great inclusive vision?

got into a discussion on another networking site.  Being the different guy I am I posted the following response to the above question. 

and as the solitary figure reached the parapets, he stopped by the candle and lite some strange paper wrapped cylinder.
"Tobac" said one of the guards," It is from the devil, burns the lungs"
with smoke curling around his face, the figure looked eastward towards the brightening sky.

then without warning, the sun popped over the horizon sending her fingers dancing across the treetops. Giving them colour, life and zest.
As her fingers crawled up the side of the castle, they stopped to caress the worn face of the figure and she leaned to kiss him gently.

"Fear not my friend, the road is long and you are needed for all". then she made her way across the rest of the land
As the figure watched her go, the silence was broken "RIDDEERRRRRR!!!!"
down he went into the keep, to receive a message that it was back. His heart sank and he made way back to his chambers. Standing facing the wall he pulled the third book on the second shelf and then the fifth on the sixth shelf and the bookcase swung open.
Reaching over he picked up a torch and walked into a room that has not seen footsteps for years. Lighting the other torches in this room, the lights flickered across the instruments of death he had once carried and hoped would remain hidden.
then he stopped and stared into a piece of polished metal and as he looked at himself he noticed something deep inside his eye. It was a spark and the more he thought of his friends and foes the brighter the spark became. Larger and it began to burn his soul.
leadership is lonely, but those that do win.

above is a piece of the tales of the avenger, the story of my soul
