"You should wait while your weapon is ready, undead, one of my silver knight's shall guide you to the guest room...and for you" the dark sun said while looking at the fallen captain "you have a lot to explain" the demigod said an took the ring out of the finger of the fallen captain
"my father gave you this ring to represent honor and bravery...you don't deserve it " Gwyndolin said sadly
Roman watched with awe the structure and details of the guest quarter's meanwhile the silver knight guarded the door stoically
he laid on the bed remembering how he had got here.
his first memory was of the Undead Asylum where he spent around a year until a passing hollow guard dropped a piece of metal large enough to be used as a lockpick he took the chance an broke the neck of the holow guard taking with him 3 golden coins that the guard had in a satchel after lurking for around an hour Roman foun himself in the courtyard resting on the bonfire that was positioned before the first set of giant doors, he looked up to see the full moon shining brightly, with a deep breath he moved the doors open an stuck to the shadows where he found a door rusted to the hinges with a bonfire at the other side he looked carefuly and saw a tripwire conected to the door, probably a trap or alarm system, he carfully passed over it and examined the room and saw him an undead with heavy steel armor and at his feet he saw something that stranged him, a rapier a light an fast weapon, what was the deceased knight doing with such a controversial weapon was beyond him, he tried to pry of the helmet but it was stucked to the body like every piece of the armor, Roman shrugged an took the rapier an examined it closely, the blade looked like it was reinforced with extra metal and it was all, breathing a heavy breath he moved foward to a passage that looked like a ramp lithered with cells in the walls, and the he saw it a hollow wearing rags with a bow and a some arrows in his hand, the it saw him, the holow took aim and shot at him, Roman barely doged the arrow, it ripping a gash at his black leather jerkin "you got to be kidding me!" Roman yelled angrily at the hollow who shot another arrow, Roman having enought of this hollow took the rapier and strucked the arrow mid air with the thin blade and ran furiously againts the hollow driving the steel tip of the blade through it skull killing it instantly
after the encounter whith the hollow Roman found himself in the balcony atop the courtyard which had two ways he took the one leading to the left where he found a broken stairwellstairwell whith a corpse wearing a ring
Roman having a lingering feeling that the ring would be worth something took a jump and took hold of the corpse an dragged it down
the ring was simple and rusty Roman thought of throwing it away but maybe it had some value for a farmer so he threw it in his satchel the he took the other way where he saw a giant ball of steel or iron on top of the ladder, probably a trap for anyone during a riot but that probability was long gone now, he took a brick of a crumbling wall and threw it just bellow the giant ball and it fell rolling downstairs Roman simply sidestepped it
he moved on killing a hollow that was atop the ladder, he moved on to find two empty corpses and saw the outside of the asylum, there were ruins and snow everywhere also a single soul couldn't be seen around
his line of thougt was interrupted by growling and a slash right where he was standing barely seconds ago, Roman used his hands to brake the frail neck of the hollow just seconds after that he felt a giant tremor coursing through the asylum followed by a hellish roar
he rushed back to the courtyard an saw them, a knight covered in an ornamental armor an a beast of at least 3 meters tall, the knight had a longsword and a kite shield ready for the battle meanwhile the beast carried an enormous mace made of some kind of wood
the knight ran straight at the demon with no concern about his safety he almost acted as a hollow, the beast tried to use its club as a hammer but the knight dodged every attack with ease the battle kept up around 20 minutes until finaly the demon fell to its knees, the knight turned around while screaming in victory, he never saw the beast take the giant club, he never saw the murderous gaze of the demon, he never saw the giant club moving at terminal speed towards his back.
But Roman did, and the worst of all...
he didn't make a single move to try and warn the knight about his impeding demise
Roman took his rapier and moved towards the weakened demon and stabed it in the eye
the beastbeast roared defiantly one last time before dying and dissipating in a white mist of souls
then he looked towards the fallen form of the knight, he had no dissipated, he was barely alive
Roman moved toward the knight and looked closely, he had his sword and shield held tightly in his hands so tha was out of question, the he noticed a large bag in his hip and took it
the knight seemed like he wanted to protest
Roman just leaned close to him and told him "if you couldn't take that out what chace do you stand...consider this a favor..." Roman said as he pierced the heart of the knight with his rapier
"tenebrarum amplexus" Roman said darkly as he walked away
