Elvarg's Destiny
A Hero is Born
A.N. This story is in the same setting as my other story, Warrior of Misthalin.
"Paladir, how could you leave us here, in Varrock?"
"I must go slay the dragon, for the sake of this city, for better crops and safer houses." Paladir's face was dark and fearful, but not of his own life.
"How am I to hear of you?" his wife simpered.
Paladir let out a hearty laugh. "You shall hear of me from the streets of Varrock. They shall be talking of my great victory." He smiled, and went out the door.
Off to the King, to get my armor. How could I leave Elizabeth there? Especially with our newborn baby…we haven't even named him! No worries…I will make sure they aren't harmed.
Paladir arrived at the doorstep of the old king. He was dying, but the prince and princess, Aidan and Roshinda, were missing…So that meant a new royal blood had to take the throne, but who? Paladir desperately wanted to take the throne, because he was Varrock's bravest knight, but his past would betray him. He thought of the days on the streets, shielding Elizabeth from the cold. They hadn't enough money to afford new clothes, or armor. People on the streets always threw coins at them, and it was horrible. Elizabeth soon got sick, and Paladir was desperate to help her.
"By what order of the King permits you to be here?" a guard asked.
"To slay the dragon," Paladir said in a humble voice.
"Then you may pass." The guards drew back while Paladir gazed at the castle. It was filled with sunlight, and beauty. Fighting the urge to wander somewhere else, he walked upstairs, where the King was. He knocked, hesitating at first, but decided it was the best to slay the dragon as fast as he could, to get back to Elizabeth as soon as he could.
"Come in." whispered a quiet voice. Paladir stepped inside and saw Queen Ldybug putting water on King Torvald's face. "It's nice to see your duties around the castle again, Paladir."
"Thank you, M'lady."
"So, the ship is all ready for you, and the map is ready. Ned will steer the boat, and lethal skeletons will be guarding Elvarg's cave. Be aware, Elvarg's fire is the worse of all, so you'll need the anti-dragon fire shield." She handed him a slashed shield, and Paladir thanked her. "Also, Elvarg may bite or claw you, but they won't damage you as much as her fire."
"That is helpful information," Paladir said, even though he already knew everything.
"Now, get geared up. Kill that dragon!"
"Yes, m'lady." Paladir bowed and headed down to the armory. There was only rune, nothing worse. He took a rune scimitar, and full rune except the kite shield. It was time to go to Draynor.
