Chapter 3: The New Begining
Alderash woke up with a start and fell back onto the bed with a gasp of pain, the wounds from the demon still had not healed. The antidote he had gotton from Anodora is all that had kept him from dieing from the demon's venom. He noticed some bread and cheese by his bed and reralized he was very hungry.He sat there eating and thinking of how he had gotten into this mess.
Three years ago, young Alderash was leaving a bar when two sivak draconians emerged from the allyway in a drunkin stupor. Upon seeing the dark knight in training they promply decided it would be fun to kill him, as they pulled out thier swords, Alderash heard the ringing as swirled around to face them as he was not at all drunk yet.In the insuing fight he killed both draconians and left them in the road. What he did not know was that when sivaks die they take on the form of thier killers, furthermore he did not know these were very important messenger with orders to his commanding officer. They next day he was promptly arrested upon reporting in, and sentenced to death for killing messengers holding solamnic information. He was very confused as they put him in the prison tent. They had not even givin him the chance to explain how the sivaks had attacked him first or how he didnt know they were messengers, but being the obediant knight in training he was he resigned himself to his fate. Later that night he heard a faint chanting and two muffled groans as the tent flap was thrown open. A strange man dressed in red robes strode in and grabbed him. Alderash fought back but the man was surprisingly strong and resisted all his blows. The man threw Alderash over his shoulder and trudged out of the camp. Strangly no-one seemed to notice. Once outside the camp the man explained himself as he continued walking. He said his name was Anodora an he was a mage of the red robes who worshiped the god of nutrality Nuitari. He had recieved a vision that Alderash was going to be needed in Kryn's near future. Htats all he would say and the rest of the walk was taken in silence.
A week later he had been training to fight creatures he had never heard of before and was learning to use a combination of imbued weapons and simple spells. He was having trouble with the spells as he was not a mage but after a great deal of practice he got a few of them down. He could now enchent his sword or arrows to run with flame during combat, or cause his opponent to be momentarily paralized. Both of these being the best for combat.
Just as he was thinking this, Alderash fell into a deep sleep brought on by a drug in the bread he was eating.
