Solaire of Astora, Real Legend and Memories.

Currently, Adrian and Seraphine were led by the knight captain to a tower overlooking the place. Up here Adrian took in the view as it was even more drow than he saw as everything was crumbling.

As the fire was fading and Gwyn's lord's soul could no longer sustain it, it showed that the fire was meant to fade. He wondered who would link the fire as he would let it die out.

The knight captain looked up at Adrian and spoke up.

"My lord, currently we are being attacked by a Drake and even a Demon. We took residence in this Undead Berg to find a way to slay either one. Not only do we have to deal with them, but we also have the never-ending hollows. We are trapped."

Adrian planned to kill the Demon as he had to get to Solaire and the drake. He needed to test out his skill first thing first.

"What is your name captain?"

The captain bows lightly and answers.

"My name is Theobald, my lord. Who is your companion though?"

Adrian looks at Seraphine and makes something up.

"A potential Fume Knight. As the I am the last of the order, I decided to take her as an initiate."

She was surprised as she thought he was kidding. As for the captain, he looked at her with respect with how much reverence for the Fume Knights he had. Seraphine looks at his giant weapons and feels she would have to be much stronger than now to wield them.

Adrian already knew where it was, but this would be interesting.

"Captain, take us to this demon."

Theobald nods and motions for them to follow him.

"It is a Taurus demon, my lord. Many of my knights have fallen to it not to mention the drake that picks us off one by one. Might you be able to tame it? It was the specialty of your order to tame and breed dragons as mounts."

Adrian nodded, but he was not as confident. It would be embarrassing if he failed as the so-called 'captain' of the order.

"It won't be easy. It has fed on human and undead blood and that is hard to get out of its system. Time for the old-fashioned method, beat it until it submits. While this method was left to the most dangerous of dragons, it is considered a last resort. It is the lesson of our god."

Seraphine members how he told her the Fume Knights were descendent from a Son of Gwyn, but the only one she members is Gwyndolin. However, it does not seem that is the case as he was a warrior while Gwyndolin took the path of magic.

She was interested in who he meant, but she would ask later. They were led to the tower that led to the bridge where the Taurus took up as his hunting ground. However before they got there, Adrian grabbed a hidden crystal lizard and snapped its neck with his bare hands.

Seraphine looked at how he used a small knife to harvest the titanate and material from it perfectly. When he was playing the games he always wondered what crystal lizard taste like and now he had his chance.

'Cooking it when I get the chance.'

Seraphine nudged him with her elbow as they walked out.

"Should I give it a try? I have been doing nothing this whole time."

He nodded as he looked out at the bridge.

"Give it a try."

Theobold looks out at the bloodied stains that were once his men. None of his men were undead and were normal humans. He sometimes wished he had been undead for his men's sake, but not all became undead.

He looked out and pointed at the opposing tower.

"It sleeps over there. Out weapons do not harm it. We are the remnants of a fallen kingdom ad wished to find a safe place to recuperate, but the blasted Hollows never quit. They attack over and over without rest killing us one by one."

Adrian and Seraphine walked forward which woke up the demon who leaped out to face them. Fog gates appeared trapping the Demon with Adrian. The first step was to kill the archers which was simple as he threw rocks at their faces that caved in their skulls.

Now it was time for the Chosen Undead to show their skill or lack of it. She charged at the Taurus demon and rolled out of the way of a downward swing. She slashed out at the back of its leg and drew first blood.

It grunted in pain, it was a small cut. It kicked with its hoofed foot, but it forgot someone. Adrian charged at it grabbed it in a grapple hold picking it up with brute force. Just because he was letting her fight it, did not mean he would not help.

He felt his it struggle as he slammed down in a body slam. That was the only help he would give her as he started to back away. As for Theobold he was shocked as he had heard stories of the famous captain of the Fume Knights.

'The stories were true. The captain could break the necks of demons with his bare hands.'

Seraphine looked at Adrian's back and at the demon he just body slammed. It did not mean she stopped attacking as it forced itself up despite the fast it landed head first. She stabbed it in the knee forcing it down.

It raised its hand and slammed it down on her making her dodge back. It started to charge at her like a bull as it could not stand anymore. She rolled under it and slashed its throat open making it gurgle on its own blood.

It held its slashed throat and fell dead. unlike what he expected it did not turn to mist and remained as a corpse. Adrian looked at the body and already got his knife out as he had a great idea to use its hide and body for loot.

As for Seraphine, she took a deep breath as they both felt the stream of souls. They both got 3,000 souls while she got the humanity and a homeward bone. She looked at Adrian who was walking toward the corpse as he flipped it to its back with his knife out.

As for Theobold, he was in shock as he just saw a legend proven. Adrain began at the legs like a deer as he saw a lot of tutorials on how to skin and butcher animals. Plus he had a lot of muscle memory to do it.

Seraphine saw how he stripped the hide from the heels up to the waist slowly. Once he completed that he kept to the wrist to the arm and every cut caused blood to pool out. It took about 30 minutes with the help of both Seraphine and Theobold he had stripped it of its hide.

Once that was done he cut off its head for a trophy.

"Well, we can turn this hide into some leather armor or something. Demon hide is quite valuable if you can get a good smith to work on it."

He stores the hide and head in his inventory He looks at the bloodied corpse and stores it away too.

"Let's go. Captain, I have to apologize, but you should stay back. Drakes are weaker than dragons but still deadly."

Theobold nods and walks back to get his men.

"I will tell my men to get ready to head out. You have the Knights of the Lake on your side."

He heads as Adrian walked forward to meet his first dragon creature. He does not expect it to be easy though. First, he has someone to talk to and once they head to the bridge he takes a right toward Solaire.

He sees the knight looking at the sky with a longing air. When he feels the footsteps of Adrain he looks back and chuckles when he sees Adrian.

"My, my, you look like a valiant knight. I am Solaire of Astora."

"I am Adrian of Anor Londo."

Seraphine does the same.

"I am Seraphine, I do not know where I come from though."

Solaire chuckles as he looks at the sun.

"Well we all are undead are we not. Now that I am undead, I came here for my own sun. I am an adherent of the Lord of Sunlight."

Adrian looks up at the sun and knows it is fading.

"I am an adherent of the Lost Son of Gwyn, our true captain."

Solaire looks at him with interest as he remembers the story.

"Oh, the son whose name was expunged from the annals of history. No one remembers who he was, or what his name was either."

Only one of his decedents would and that was just who the Fume Knights were. It interested Solaire to learn more of the story.

"Do you know who he was? What caused his fall from grace?"

Adrain nods.

"I do not remember his name, no one does. However, he fell from grace as he sided with dragons. We of the Fume Knights follow his path, the path of dragons. Just like our Drake friend over that bridge."

Solaire nods as he has been stuck with it for a while. He glances at both of them and offers his aide.

"I suggest jolly cooperation. Maybe we can save the drake before we need to slay it."

Adrain nods and extended his hand.

"Here is too jolly cooperation."

Solaire shakes his hand and looks at Seraphine. She shakes his hand as well and now it is time to put his dragon tamer class to work. They walk under the bridge as Adrain knows this ambush well.

"Wait here, I am fire-resistant, you are not."

Seraphine looks around and only sees a few hollows out at the end of the bridge.

"Alright."

Solaire nods.

"Good idea, I have been scorched by that beast many a time."

Adrain walks down the bridge and just as he expected the Drake lands behind him, but does not blast him with fire. He turns around and is face to face with the Hellfirekite looking at him ready to pounce.

<New mission: Tame Drake. Reward: 25,000 souls, Drake Sword, Saddle, and Pyromancy: Dragon's Breath.>

"Hey, buddy. Do not eat me ok."

He walked toward it slowly, but it snaps at him which makes him dodge back. He lifts his hand and starts to use his fingers to tap on his gauntlet like a clicker. It looks at his right hand and how he keeps his slow approach.

<Dragon Tamer class in effect. Drake is weaker than a dragon, higher effect. given. Progress 20%>

He reaches out for its snout as he copied Hiccup. He felt like a total fool doing it, but he was ready for it to attack. The drake gazed at his hand and how he reached out to pet it.

<Preogress:40%>

He stopped before touching it as he took off his helmet. When it looked in his eyes it stared right in his eyes.

<Tame 60%. Drake interested.>

He pulled out a piece of the Demon from his inventory and held it out front of its nose. It sniffed it and he threw it into his mouth. It moved forward and he looked at the ground waiting for it.

It sniffed his hand before it placed its snout in his hand.

<Drake Tame. Branding to the system.>

<Branded. You have tamed a wild Drake.>

He felt the system give him his reward and a connection to the Drake. Its mind was smarter than a normal beast, but not human-level smart. He walked up to it and started to pet it slowly.

He said something on pure instinct with our trying to.

"Such Primal Magnificence."

At that moment he felt a stream of memories not from the drake, but from his Lord Soul. He appeared in a giant field as 100 Fume Knights pulled on giant chains which ended in a giant dragon.

It was struggling, but it was useless as the knights had it subdued. He was overlooking the whole thing without being able to control himself as this was pure memory. All of them were smaller than him, but not by much. A knight walked next to him as it gazed at the giant dragon with pure reverence.

His armor was like his, but it was smaller had different symbols.

"Captian, we got her. A genuine Dragon. Not a drake, but a pure dragon. She will be a good mount for you, sir."

Adrian looked at it and agreed.

"You are right August."

Adrian walked toward it and stood in front of the dragon's head. It dwarfed even him, but he felt no fear. It looked at him with pure rage as its snout was closed shut with a giant titanite muzzle. He reached out and pet the dragon on her snout.

"Such Primal Magnificence."

He heard footsteps as they walked toward his back.

"Ornstein, what do you want."

The dragon slayer pointed at the dragon with hate.

"I am here to do my job. Slay a dragon."

The Fume Knights all looked at him ready to defend their gift to their captain. They worked hard to subdue her and they would not give her up even to Lord Gwyn. Adrian lifted his hand calming them down.

"We got her first. We were given permission by Lord Gwyn and as such you will not touch a single scale on her. Leave."

The memory ended causing Adrain to get in control of his body again. It all happened in second and he now had more questions than answers. He felt a desire to learn more about his so-called memories and he wanted to find that dragon.

Something told him it was alive.

"Seraphine, Solaire, this is the path of the Fume Knights."

They both walked forward when he finished and looked at the Drake with pure amazement. Solaire looked at the being that had caused many of his deaths and forgave it. Now t would be useful.

"You really did it. Amazing."

Seraphine had to agree.

"Yeah, makes me wonder what your order was like at full power."

Adrian nodded.

"As do I."

<Equipe saddle.>

'Yes.'

At that moment a leather saddle appeared on the back of the drake and it covered up the spikes. From the look of it, the Drake did not mind it. It was light as a few magic spells reduced the weight and increased comfort.

"Circle the area and come when I whistle."

It nodded and flew off while he walked toward the bonfire.

'Time to level up again.'

Drake mount aquired. Memories recived.
