History
To begin with, I could reflect on where I really came from.... I did not have a permanent residence. I was almost always traveling. Even from a young age. I did not know my parents. This is because those were killed by bandits. I was protected from death by a group of wandering knights who decided to take me in. We wandered every day, stopping only for the night at roadside inns. I was no more than 2 years old at the time, but I loved everyone like my own family. It wasn't until I was 7 years old that I knew what was going on here. My "family" was just a group of exiled wanted thugs. But what could I do about it? They took care of me so I couldn't leave them, so I stayed, and they set about teaching me how to use weapons. That's how about that I started my training. At the age of 7...
I was ambitious and a fast learner, so I knew how to use a weapon well by the age of 11. Then my "family" sent me to the royal city for a tournament that King Barin IV was organizing. I was allowed to participate in a group fight in the junior category. I managed to win the fight without any problems. I knocked down many noble kids, including young Robb of the North, Robert of the Valley and Ronald of the Valley Beyond the Sea. After this event, the king took me into his court, and from then on I started hanging out with noble people. I learned to read and write,and when I turned 16 I was appointed a knight by the king himself.
A year later, after I was knighted, I was appointed one of his knights of the Royal Guard. I then donned the red cloak and entered the service of the king. There was peace in my land so nothing interesting happened until the royal governor died. Then the people of the Valley began to worry and revolt. The king appointed a new governor, and I sat on his council called the "Small Council." Unfortunately, the new governor wanted the death of the king. I received this news from my squire. I had to act and defend the king, so at the next council I had to kill the traitor. When we sat down at the table I brought up the subject of killing the king. The governor got angry and called his guards to kill me. But they were unable to do so. In a flash, I took my sword out of its scabbard and killed one of the guards. I parried the attack of the second and delivered a powerful strike killing the opponent. The third opponent proved more difficult than I thought, he was fast and strong. He launched a powerful punch, which I dodged, and then parried my strike. The blows fell one after another, but neither I nor he could injure his opponent. But after a while I noticed a gap in his defense and managed to break it. The opponent fell, and I turned to the knocked down traitor. I took him before the king, and he sentenced the traitor. Walking through the streets of the city, I was attacked and stunned, and then I saw nothing....
I don't remember what happened... All I know is that I got hit hard.... Scholars, medics and priests came every day and gave me drink and medicine. I also saw the king, but I don't know if it was a dream or a dream.... All day long I lay in bed and waited for death.... I do not know how many years have passed, but I know one thing.... I failed. I was supposed to defend the king, and he died. I heard visitors telling me what was happening in the kingdom and I heard about the death of the king, who was poisoned.... I felt bad... I vowed to protect him and gave the body. Now I just closed my eyes and waited for death....
I woke up. I didn't feel the way I used to. I felt older. And it was like this. I don't know how it is possible, but I woke up only after 8 years.... 8 YEARS ! How the hell is this possible? Why didn't death take me? I knew only one thing... That the new king wants to see me, so I moved to him. The wound on my head had pretty much healed. When I entered the chamber I noticed the king, and next to him 7 knights in red cloaks. I won't say... It surprised me... But what surprised me even more was that the king released me from my oath.... He kicked me out on a whim. He stripped me of my coat and cloak and kicked me out of the Royal Guard. That's why I decided to go far away... Very far away... After many years of my expedition, after many adventures encountered along the way, I reached a new land, where I will start my life anew....
