Chapter two: Solaire does a thing.
"This is a large fortress." Solaire exclaimed whilst gazing upon a large fortress.
It seemed that the obstacle in Solaire's way was even larger than it had appeared from a distance. Solaire looked upwards along the wall before him, and then to his side. He weighed the options against one another. Either climb what looked like miles of flat stone from where he stood, or risk tarnishing the sun emblazoned on his surcoat. It was as Solaire reached the top of the wall that he became aware the startling height that distanced his position from the ground located on the opposite side of the wall. It seemed that the ground was even lower on the side he sought to reach, and that the fall downwards was certainly lethal. It was as he thought on how to tackle this issue that a spear wielding hollow charged at him. Solaire stepped to the side as the hollow rocketed towards the earth, and resumed his attempts at planning.
Watching the hollow careen towards ground below, Solaire took note of the lethality of the fall. Looking to his side he surveyed the expanse of the walkway he stood upon. He noticed the fact that this wall, for as far as he could see, had no stairway connecting it to the ground below. Solaire stood puzzled. How could an individual such as the hollow slain prior have reached this height? How the hell was such a facility built?
"What asinine design is this?"
Such irresponsible wall design aside, Solaire continued walking along the length of the walkway. Solaire walked for what seemed like hours, and noticed the fact that the sun hadn't moved an inch out of place. It was curious really, that his beloved sun continued to shine down on him. He was thankful for this, and thought nothing strange of this odd development. Regardless of cosmic anomalies, Solaire enjoyed the warm caress of the sun's light. Solaire took in the sunlight and, as all knights of sunlight can, began to produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis to sustain himself.
Having traversed what felt to be the entirety of this fortification, Solaire accepted that the wall was, in fact, suffering from the single most idiotic design flaw he had come across in a very long time. Grudgingly, Solaire decided "fuck it" and backflipped off the wall whilst flipping off the world. Taking out the Sunlight Talisman which he used frequently to cast miracles, he unfolded it and revealed one of it's many functions. Gently floating to the stone filled floor below, Solaire looked warmly up onto the image of the sun he had painted onto his parachute. Gingerly reaching the bottom, he set out to the task of refolding his talisman. The task itself was tedious, though Solaire took some strange enjoyment from it. Having finished his task, Solaire stood and turned around to survey the area. It was as he did so that he took note of a menacing figure in spiked black armour, who held a blade the size of Solaire himself.
"A Black Knight!"
"There is no need for racism!" The Black Knight exclaimed politely whilst flinging itself towards Solaire with murderous intent.
Solaire prayed silently for a moment of respite amidst the madness, and through himself at the knight as well. As the Black Knight swung its blade horizontally, solaire leapt deftly to the side. Flying in tandem with the blade, Solaire planted his feet on the still soaring blade and began to channel his Sunlight Hamon into the blade. It was as he attempted this that the Black Knight let the blade fly from his grasp, and rushed towards the spot where he had thrown it. Solaire stood silent and shocked, for he had seldom fought a foe that wielded strategy in tandem with a blade. The Black Knight charged Solaire, and nearly took his head off with a rocketing flying kick. Solaire had barely dodged the attack with a skillful sidestep, and was now sprinting towards the Black Knights back whilst producing more lightning.
He reached the Black Knight, who spun around in an attempt to block the anticipated attack with his shield, only to surprise his foe by sliding in between his legs. Standing quickly, Solaire grasped the torso of the Black Knight, and bent himself backwards at an impressive angle. Letting loose his stored energy in a devastating blast, Solaire executed his foe with a mighty Sunlight Suplex.
Solaire took a few steps from the crater that was once the pavement of a fortress, and took note of bonfire some ways away. He stumbled towards it before collapsing from exhaustion, and was greeted by a warm caress as he felt the sensation of being dragged away, right before his consciousness faded.
