Lancing Through Worlds
The World is fascinated and inspired by the legend of Kings and their knights. Numerous stories bear testament to the brave, powerful, wise warriors who rave battlefields with their spears and swords, clad in armor. They instilled a sense of justice in whoever saw them and brought hope to those who believed in them. They were the epitome of beauty and might...
All except for a single knight...
There was one knight whose entire legend was corrupted with unforgiving irony. He was the most powerful among the knights that battled his king, the most courteous, and the most skilled in combat. But nobody remembers him as any of those.
People who come across his legend blame him for his king's downfall. They know him only as the Knight of Debauchery. Their minds are filled with only disgust as they brand him as a coward, in cold contempt. For he is 'the one that strayed too far from the light'.
However, the knight felt himself to be more deserving than anybody else believed. More deserving of the people's hate and sneer, more deserving of punishment that was long due.
He had longed for it. He had waited centuries and went mad in his desire. Yet none of his pleas amounted to anything.
None satiated his desire, none graced him with relief.
Nevertheless, he was given a second chance.
But why? Even though he betrayed the king, his country, and his brother-in-arms?! Even after all of this! Why?!
So once again, he is forced to let go of his wish for punishment and walk the three forked roads that ascend to the three kingdoms. His mind is now solely driven by the desire for repentance, for his purpose and the hidden truth. His body burns with guilt and love. Stuck in an eternal dilemma.
He is the Black Knight.
