This is my first story over Drakengard. Enjoy!
It was a stormy night and the Knights of the Seal were all gathered at the grand dining hall getting intoxicated and full. "Damn I'm so hungry!" mumbled Sir Zhangpho. "Oh cheer up won't you?" said the calm voice of Sir Yaha. "Oi, Yaha, don't you think Gismor has been keeping that dragon child from our sight long enough?" whispered Zhangoho. "I think you might be right, I keep seeing a child show up here and when I get close I sense a dragon." he answered annoyed by his failure. "Lieutenants Zhanpho and Yaha, have you seen Lieutenant Hanch?" yelled Gismor across the table. Just as he said that a drenched lady Hanch entered followed by a small child wearing a simple tunic holding onto her pant leg. "Who's the fine young lad?" asked Urick who still wore his helmet. "All I got was the name Nowe." She said playfully as she took her seat. "Well, I best see anybody else before I go back." he said as he got up and left without saying a word to Gismor. Nowe followed after Urick and hid behind suits of armor. "Come on out, I know you're there!" Urick said as he turned around and met a scared Nowe. Nowe, who thought the helmet was a real face, hid behind a pillar and peeked out to see if Urick left. "Oh me and this silly helmet." he said as he took it off and showed off his self proclaimed handsome face. Nowe slowly approached and studied Urick before just staring at him blankly. "Here, you need this more than I do." Urick said as he handed Nowe a bag of meats and breads. Nowe greedily scarfed them all down in a matter of seconds. "Hungry are we? Well my name is Urick, what's yours?" he asked while kneeling at Nowe's level. "N-Nowe." Answered Nowe in a whisper. "Well Nowe, I'd best be going along now. If you want to meet another nice person like me talk to the lady in blue, the man in yellow, or the man in red, okay?" Urick said. Nowe nodded before hugging Urick and running off. "Reaper what do you think of him?" he asked his pact partner. "He has a kind heart, but let's hope he never has to meet HIM." said the Reaper before vanishing in an emerald cloud.

"C'mon Nowe stop holding back!" shouted his friend Eris as she swung her spear to counter Nowe's sword swing. "I won't quit!" he shouted as he broke her spear in two with a clean swing. "N-Nowe it's broken!" she said amazed by his physical strength. "Sorry Eris, I guess I don't know my own strength." he joked. "Boy, get over here now!" shouted General Gismor. "Yes sir, you called." replied Nowe in a respectful tone. "Monsters are attacking the District of Shining Life, I want you and your Dragon to go ahead and meet our forces. Then you are to go to the nearby village to receive orders. Understand!" yelled Gismor. "Yes sir." Nowe said as her ran through the courtyard. "Legna!" he yelled and the large blue dragon flew down and allowed Nowe to get on without landing. It took them years to perfect this technique to save time. "Where to my boy?" Legna asked as he gained altitude. "To the district of Shining Life. We have a monster problem." said Nowe over the sound of the whistling wind. "Why can't your knight allies handle this? This isn't our problem." said Legna. "I am a knight Legna, I'm not one to give orders, i just follow them like a dog would it's master." said a slightly discouraged Nowe. "Nonsense, if it were my choice you'd be General, not these cowards." said a irritated Legna. "Thank you Legna." He said feeling better and continuing onward to the District.
