SPIRAL KNIGHTS: Corrupt Haven CHAPTER 1

FIRST STEPS

The room was filled with applause, echoing around the giant, white stone pillars. Confetti and ribbons falling down from the air. It was the Knights graduation ceremony. Buildersith, one of the graduates, walked up the long aisle behind his friends. 'finally...' he thought, 'after so many years...after all my work...I did it...I became a knight...just like my father...' he smiled to himself as he thought. All the knights were given their helms. Buildersith's was a greyish blueish colour with a deep blue stripe on the top. His teacher stood at the pedestal and spoke;

"Young Knights, you have earned your rights as men, May your strength be ever used to serve your wonderful Kingdom. We congratulate you Warriors, all you hard work and effort has finally paid off, may your path be bright and the spirit of haven Lye deep within you. You carry Haven on your armor and the people on your sword, may you forever protect each other" The teacher Saluted as he finished. Buildersith had never felt so nervous, but he knew, to reach his dream he'd have to be strong, and carry the heavy burden of a Haven Solider. He, and fellow brethren, made their way outside, where a cheering crowd awaited them.

Buildersith looked around the crowd, but marched onward to his superior who would give him his first assignment, his superior looked at him as he got close and gave him a envelope, containing his objective, Buildersith looked up to his superiors face, which was hidden behind a helm. John nodded thankfully, opened the envelope, inside was a data document, it read that a few monsters, some slimes, living tree's, had been sighted in a forest, his objective was to destroy them. he put the data document in one pouch on his armor and rushed off to his first mission.

The dark Forest. Trees clawing at the night sky as the wind run through their branches. Builderisith gulped, fear pumped through his body. He had never felt so alone. A cold chill ran down his back. Something was close by. His hidden blue eyes darted around. He could hear it. Getting closer. Closer. He looked at the tree's expecting slimes. But instead he was met with something much more deadly. Giant Tree Monsters. They where after him. He quickly began to try and fight them back, just one left. It punched him down to the floor. Buildersith looked up, his only thought, was that he would fail at living in his fathers name. There was a sudden flash of light blue. The monster screamed as it's arm was sliced off, blood shooting into the dark air. There was another flash but of a dark purple, cutting through the other arm. Blood raining down.

Stunned, he couldn't help but shiver. 'What was that?' He questioned himself. The Tree Monster Let out a groan but was silenced by a foot crashing down on it. "You Alright lil' Solider? You nearly got hammered there' Laughed a Knight in Grey armor. " Being stationary won't help your chances in a battle you know," Explained another, this time in Dark Purple Armor, She threw her heavy hatchet over her shoulder and leaned in for a closer look. "I'm Kez-Kez, And you Are?" Buildersith was dazed, he? He was alive?, but he could of sworn he was a goner. " My-My names B-Buildersith" His Eyes Moved to the Knight in grey and Realized who he was talking to, He held up a salute. "Right...And what are you doing in the forest, A Mission I presume?" Kez-Kez said forcefully. He didn't know what to say, he was trapped, In-Between a Beautiful, Purple, Armored Maiden and a Commander, a Higher ranking then himself. He Gulped.

"R-Right!, I'm Sorry, I was given my first mission, but as you are aware I haven't really got used to it" Buildersith chuckled. "Hm, Ok Then, well we'd better get you back to HQ, after a fright like that you'd probably wouldn't want to carry on!" Laughed the grey Knight. "Oh!, The Names Min-Min by The way" She called while starting to walk ahead. "Right, Commander!" he saluted. "I said Min-Min!" She yelled back. "Right, Sorry" He Cringed.

They began heading back to HQ, so Buildersith's wounds could be seen too, before he was given his next proper mission. They arrived, Buildersith's superior looked at him scornfully. "You didn't complete the mission did you?" He asked, his eyes glowing a vicious shade of red. Buildersith trembled, unsure how to reply. "Well?" The superior asked again.

Buildersith gulped, holding back his tears he replied with a small "yes." The Superior grunted. "A coward and a failure, you're a disgrace..." The superior snarled. Buildersith felt tears in his eyes. "Hey back off of him!" Kez-Kez yelled from behind. She stormed forward, "Did you even warn him about what was out in that forest?" she shouted at the superior.

"Of co-" the superior was cut off.

"LIAR! I saw the academy plans, it's like you want to get your knights killed!" Kez snarled. The Superior just shrugged. " Just go finish your new mission before I banish all of you," he replied chucking an envelope over to Min-Min. Min-Min took it and read. She nodded and left, followed behind by a clueless Kez and Buildersith. "So, what's the mission?" Kez-kez asked. Min looked back to them, her bright blue eyes dimly glowing. "Kill the Shadow Beast..."

"Isn't the shadow beast called a Snarbolax Min? Sighed Kez-Kez.

"Shut up, nerd" grunted Min.
