The Burden of a Knight
Chapter I: A Discussion in a Painted World
In the Painted World of Ariamas a knight was wandering through the snow covered courtyard of this created castle. The sentries and creatures of this world having long since grown used to his presence and most did not challenge his passage to the being they swore to protect from the world; and the world from her, The Crossbreed Priscilla. In the past he had ended up befriending her on his journey and would often come here to tell stories of his adventures or simply converse with her; to alleviate her loneliness, and his own. Continuing from the courtyard to the bridge leading to the tower in which Priscilla resided he entered; to once again have a conversation with the beautiful half-breed, this time with a heavy heart and sad memories to share…
...
"Greetings, Lady Priscilla, I hope you are doing well." I greeted while bowing to the tall and elegant woman dressed almost exclusively in white standing before him.
Looking down at me she returns my greetings "And to you to sir Knight, but I must ask, why hast thou returned to this realm?" she questioned "For when we last spoke thou had told me that the end of thine journey was soon to be at hand and that thou may not be able to return." Continuing with her query.
Standing up I let out a sigh, looking up at Priscilla I answered. "When we last spoke, I still felt that I had the strength to complete this quest I was given, that… I was worthy enough to be allowed to complete it."
Confused Priscilla asked "Thou question the strength of thine ability, their worthiness to experience success? I find the source of thine worries difficult to understand." She says while sitting down to get closer to eye-level with me. "On the occasions that thou hast visited this tower, you retell tales from the adventure thou hast undertaken; the battles won, the demons banished, the people saved, if nothing else considered, thine ability and worth art shown in being able to come here unchallenged." She continued.
Looking up and away from Priscilla; at the high ceiling of the room, I contemplated what to say; how to answer her questions. Finally deciding on my course of action I look back at her and reply "You have not heard everything, the details I have withheld, the nightmares that plague me, the memories I wish to forget; but remember them I do, for anything less would dishonor those I've lost, those I have failed."
"Who could thou have failed?" Priscilla asked listening intently
"Many poor souls that did not deserve the fates handed to them." I answered
"How?" she pressed
"Through my own naive decisions and careless actions."
"Dost thou care to tell these tales?" she asks gesturing to me to continue.
Looking down at the ground for a time; having second thoughts on whether or not I truly wish to continue, eventually I let out a sigh thinking to myself that I have already made the decision by coming here "If you wish to listen to my sad tale then so be it; though, in a way this is why I returned here again after all." Sitting down on the snow covered tiles to get comfortable I continue "Now where shall I begin?"

and there we are the first chapter of my fanfiction, i hope it was somewhat okay, but moving on please give me some kind of constructive criticism in the reviews. I can use all the help i can get. also could you assist me in answering our good knights question? while i have a general idea of which character storylines to use (Solaire, Siegmeyer and Sieglinde, Luarentius, etc.) i can't agree with myself on what order to put them in, so yeah I'd hate to impose but could you help? (i'm so sorry for asking)
