I tell you now that this story is slash(mxm) based. If you do not like it or agree with it there is that little x in the top right corner of the screen, click it. Now moving on this story is based upon the Dragon Lance series during the start of the second was. All credit for the major names goes to Wizards of the coast, and the Dragon Lance team and any others who helped develop those great books.
This story is based upon the second fight against the queen of Darkness. Now most of us read what happened with the group of heroes but they were not the only ones to fight this war. This is an account of another major player in the war against the queen of darkness.
Chapter 1:
The Beginning of Darkness
The town of Haven was in a state of unrest. It seemed these high theocrats and these new clerics were attempting to take over the town. Already they had erected a temple to an unknown god. It seemed a God not even they could name. Congregates flocked from all around to hear about this new god. They were all in need of something to believe in and this was the closest thing to a god.
As natural with something new and with change there were those who did not believe. At the top of these were the renegade knights. Those knights of Solamnia driven forcefully from their homes who ran south to live out their lives in peace and safety or as close to as they could get. These knight who were followers of Paladine and the other holy figure of light disagreed with the teachings of the theocrats. These theocrats declared that all should send in offerings should fund their cause and pay tribute to this new god.
One particular whose name stood out among the citizens was Kerth. This was a young knight of noble blood. He wore his armor proud on days such as this. These were the days he openly protested the theocrats and their cause. He did not believe what they stated to be true nor would he ever. This day he stood upon a fountain preaching his beliefs to passerby who hissed or booed him from his post. One even brave enough to throw a vegetable at him.
This did not stop the young knight who howled out his thoughts unto the crowd. He stopped long enough to pull his moustaches at the other as an insult. He jumped now into a long speech to a group of young ones playing ball. "Hey there children come here and listen to me. Do you believe in these new gods?" He asked loudly causing some to stop and stare.
One of the young children looked up at the tall knight who wore the armor of the knights of the crown and seemed to envy him…for a moment. "My daddy says you're a dunce and I should not speak to you. He says you believe in the traitor gods who left us and that you yourself are a traitor for wearing that." He pointed a grubby finger toward his armor. Mainly the breastplate where laid the seal of the knight, the crown and the kingfisher in this particular man's case.
"Is that so. Well I tell you a dunce I am not. I am a proud knight of Solamnia and a grand warrior. These old gods did not abandon us they are watching us now as we speak and one now tries to corrupt your mind. These theocrats are evil I warn you to tell you parents to avoid them turn from them before it is too late."
The kids laughed at the antics of the knight who had thrown his hands up in dramatization of his statement. "Dunce!" One yelled, and threw the ball hitting him in his face. The ball struck and he fell back into the fountain much to the crowd's mirth. It was this ball though that saved him. As he fell the arrow whizzed over striking the statue. Screams issued as people ran from all over. Vendors were running from the other end of town. The knight leapt up to look into the face of some bestial creature. Most of the body was in bandages, but the clawed hands of these hideous monsters ripped off the bandages on the face.
Kerth froze momentarily at the sight. He had never seen anything of the likes of this beast. He stepped back a bit but his honor took over and he drew the sword from its sheath and wielded it nicely. "Try your luck you ugly beast of darkness." He lunged striking the beast catching it off guard. The sword slipped straight through the gut and the lizard man exploded. The burst sent acid flying out around him and the sword melted with the armor that was on his body. Cursing he turned watching the beasts flood around howling. It was the next part that clenched his gut. A shadow passed overhead. Fear rolled from dark wings. Fire poured from fearsome gaping jaws. The knight froze at the sight of the dragon, no two, no three. The reds flew from the horizon from the direction of Solace.
His stomach clenched and fear overwhelmed him. A debilitating fear that wrenched his bowls and squeezed his lungs. He bent over loosing his meal. When he looked up he lost his footing as he was swept off his feet. A rider on horseback dragged him up and he passed out as he was settled before the unknown person.
This cahpter I know was a little short but the next one will be much different. Though if your hoping to read more about Kerth and this unkown person your going to have to wait. Please review this any criticism is good.
