The beginning
It was a boy that manage to save a country a city a kingdom if you will. A child born to a not so noble family. Upon the feild of battle the child found his calling. Soon growing into a young man. His deeds recognized by the Council of Justice. It was within that great hall that this legend begins, it is within that hall that a young man with no noble right took a vow. A vow that would indefinitly change the young mans life. The childs name Erickson Tamuli Sparhaw, the lowly son of a farming man. It is about this son that the tale you are about to read is about.
It was a cold morning like many others in the high reaches of a forgoten land. The fog rose just over the medows tall grass. A young man was out to practice all the teachings his father had given him the day before. Like any other morning all his chores were to wait till practice was complete. Today the practice was with the sword and sheild. Father had said to "live and die by the sword is a fools desire. But to use such a weapon none the less required wisdom first and brawns second." It was those words that would forever change the course of the boys life. Later the morning fog had broken though and still practice was engaged full heartedly. Noon the suns zenith in the sky above called for the sound of loud thump at the town walls. A seige a battle had begun. It was there that the boy proved his worth to a world that shuned his kind before. So it was that such a child would be knighted given the sole duty of protecting those to week to protect them selfs. Now the once child whom is now a young man is known through his many acts of valor as golden light in a world of darkness. Where he has gone many have only tales to tell but it is said that he seeks now a new home a place where a new chapter in a young mans life he can find. A place where his future deeds will be once more recognized.
The happenings of seven years away.
It was more years ago then I can remember when both Queen Rayana and Lord Raven gave me permission to per sue the men that murdered my father. This journey has taken me a long way from home. The below is the in depth report of what happened and to what ends I have been before my return.
Seven years has it been since I left seven years of pain endured and now I have returned my crusade complete. For those of you that did not know me before I left I was 15 and not knighted more then a year when my father was viciously killed. The finial lesson that ended seven years later. I have traveled far and wide. But I will start this report from the day I left the city walls.
I do not remember much of the weather but I remember they cry's I remember the people that wished me god speed as me and the steed Raven and Rayna had paired me with Belegria passed through the streets. Back then there were few of us knights. I had been trained for years 10 years. Ten years of training had led to this my first mission to find the killers of my father to despence justice so long as it did not become a mission of vengeance. My travels took my out side the countries limits into the kingdoms of Aloria & Maragor.
In Aloria I found one of the men that I seeked and it was in the field out side of there gate that I struck him down. I am not going to get deeply detailed in the peoples deaths or the actions that in sued before they were killed to keep some cleanliness to this report. The guards had seen it and being that my colors though the original golden horn colors well while the queen was with Raven that would be was presented highly and my mark of knight hood was bore to them took me custody. Of course I did not fight it for I have vowed my oath and will up hold the name of the country I have sworn fealty to.
They called me a murder and tried to sentence me to death I spent 3 years in this hell hole this prison malnourished and under hydrated. Every day awaiting the sentence, every day being beaten for a wrong I had not committed. They would ask me question about my home land and there defense and when I did not answer I would be dually punished for my defiance. However father had friends in places I never would have guessed. As a young woman passed though dungeon one day having seen me. She knew my name, she smelled of roses sweet. She was Lady Kathryn De'lancey it was her orders that had me brought before the queen and king to have my tale told. There apologies were light handed but I was freed and given land in there kingdom. I am not sure what has happened to such land and estate but it was given to Lady Kathryn what use does a Knight have for such places. For our lives are like a blade of grass often tossed to the wind. As Lady Kathryn told me.
It was many months before I was well enough to move forward with my quest though the best trackers in the land had been hired and had well paid off. My final journey was soon embarked upon. I was after Xavier Dalton he was the man who's hand took my fathers life. According to my trackers he had a city under siege the land was known as Magnadar it was deep in the swamps a odd location the land had seemed to be under constant bombardment by the time I had arrived with the army lent to my cause by the kind of Aloria for it would appear that they had an alliance with Magnadar and was wondering why no word had been sent and why there rider never returned.
It was a blood bath that insured my final blows crushing the army's of Xavier and my trusting blade struck clean and true to end my crusade after many months of war. I was wound thou quite fatally by the man who I had finally struck down. However I have never seen such healers as the ones in Magnadar whom with a soft touch would heal the wounds of the most deadly degree's.
M' queen and M' lord it was from the gates of this city I have returned to your service as I have vowed. My sword my life and soul yours till my days have come to pass. For I left a young man flawless and still uncertian about the ways of the world and return to you a man now twenty two years of age and my sword body and soul are yours to command.
A Error turned to a revelation.
As it was I was sent out to find Tirelli. Many days had come to pass as I traveled the land on what appeared to be the right trail.I was wrong the trail had led me to a small camp in the northern region of Golden Horn. It was there that I save a young woman whom did not know so much as her own name. She was without question possible royalty however. The creature I faced was unlike
any man I had ever met. His weapon in combat was something beyond my comprehension what should have just bounced off my armor bit like a dog into rabbit. The wound it self was clean like a razor blade not even bending the armor as it penetrated all three layers of my gear.
I rode back into that castle this night was ordered to stay the night. It was been over a week now that I have slept well no more then twelve hours since returning to the castles walls for the first time. It was after a heavy discussion about a great many things that a sudden thought his me though. I came to realize the the arrow I found at the camp where I found the woman, who was given the name angel as held captive matched a arrow that was pulled from Sir Riders back the night of my arrival. I fear that perhaps Tirelli's kidnapping has may
have some connection, it is speculation at this point however.
Sir Rider after a little while in the conversation snapped having perhaps a flash back or a sudden remembrance of what happened that night. Either was a compass of sorts he relinquished it alone could very well be the turning point in my search for this kidnapped woman. I pray she is well. I would have left last night to find her it would have broken a direct order come from two of royalty and my commander Lord Gekko. I managed to steady my course however. Though I still feel very much compelled to find this woman which I have never met I fear she is in the gravest of danger. tomorrow however I should have my answer back from both the Queen and Lord Gekko I can not state how very concerned I am about the possible out come.
