A knight willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his country
There I kneeled under the guillotine ready to accept my death . When a man cried out to me. “You Have one last wish”, I replied to the crowd watching in amazement as one of their own knights was about to be put to death I explained to the crowd that I would tell them the truth about how I ended up here today. It started 2 months ago. I was known as Sir Raphael. I was one of the most known knights in all the 7 kingdoms. I was easily distinguished from the other knights because of my light coat of warrior armor was the only thing I wore in battle. I was so skilled that I didn’t need any armor for my protection. As long as I had my sword. Tsykoyami by side I could penetrate. Even the thickest of armor. It was a violent time then and there were a lot more wars. I was assigned what seemed to be a tedious task for a knight at my level. I was told to kidnap a princess from GunDaga. The intial reason I was told was because there was a rumor that there would be a planned assasination attempt at a parade she would be apart of. She was the niece of my king Ray. Two other knights Rave and Brock accompanied me in this mission. Rave was a close friend I knew since my days as a child. We grew distant however when the king favored me over him as the greatest knight in the land. I canot lie and say I was the stronger of the group but Rave could become corrupted very easily. I acheived supreme status in the kingdom of Beville in the castle of Taven. Rave would do anything to obtain my status. We set out of to the kingdom of GunDaga. I rode a legendary horse known as Ixion. A horse people believed was passed down from a celestial. (Being that controlled the earth’s decisions.) We arrived at the kingdom and entered the castle of Daegon undetected . We received information that a squadron of knights had already drugged her and gave us the signal to kidnap her we successfully grabbed her and brought her back to the castle of Taven. My next job was to guard her until the paradde was to take place the next day. Later that knight I heard the true reason she was kidnaped. One advisor explained “The only reason we kidnaped her was to create strife between GunDaga and the other kingdoms so they would not rely on them for help and it would make it easier to invade and conquer the kingdom.” The other guard replied “He is going to start another war.” the first advisor spoke again “Besides we’ll be executing the princess tommorow anyway.”When I heard this I left my post to tell Rave and the others. They laughed and turned their noses. Ignoring their ignorance I went to Rave. “You have to help me “ I explained. Why should I you won’t get me kill for your ambition of saving some princess.” I pleaded with him again and eventually he accepted my request. We returned to the cell to find that the princess had awaken from her drug induced sleep. I explained the situation and began to lead her outside of the castle with Rave. I made it outside the kingdom with her by my side but Rave was nowhere to be seen. Rave told the king what I had done and claimed no part of it. I was to be brought back alive to be put to death. I could not let them execute you because of greed I explained. Her name was princess Luna. We met before in the past however certain obstacles restricted me from being her fiancé. “I understand,” She told me the only chance we had of saving the kingdoms was to go to the 7th Kingdom the strongest of them all and to allow the princess refuge to prevent war. They traveled far across many lands on Ixion. We came upon a Dragon known as Orochi sent by Beville to destroy us. It stood tall with seven heads but was no match for my sword Tskyoyami as I slew the dragon. We continued our quest. We arrived within close range of the kingdoms but before I was able to enter I was blocked by Rave. He came to take the princess and kill her. Rave’s appearance was similar to mine Only his weapon was far different than mine. He wielded the Amaterasu (Sword of the sun). While my sword contained the strength of the moon where the Celestials were thought to exist. What I didn’t know was that Rave was a pawn in their plan to place the seven kingdoms into chaos. He was given The sword to combat me all along. All this time I thought we were close because we were friends but he was created by the celestials to prevent me from restoring order to the kingdoms. His sword Amaterasu contained seven prongs on its sides and top. He drew his blade as I drew mine the battle began. I moved the princess back to avoid letting him target the princess. I rushed to his front side and slashed at his neck. He ducked and countered with an uppercut lifting me clean off my feet .Before I was able to hit the ground he jumped in the air to continue his onslaught right above me he slashed down towards my torso I caught the sword which set fire to my hands so letting go I picked Tsykoyami back up to put out the fire. I rushed Him again his blade reached toward my face I was able to get around it and tear a gaping hole into his armor. Our battle lasted for Hours turning the sky black as the blades of the sun and the moon ravaged the Earth. I was however able to Defeat Rave. When I defeated Rave. Luna was allowed into the castle and eventually was able to return home as peace was restored to the Kingdoms. However I am here today because I was put on trial for treason and the abduction of a royal aire. “That’s not fair!” One man cried “set him free” the crowd repeatedly screamed. But it was no use. Before As the guillotine began to take its course I could Hear feint screams of all Hail the great Sir Raphael . The hero of Beville. I was executed. A sacrifice worthy for the sake of the land
