♆The Dragon Knight of The Inquisition♆
Story of Azeltic:
I was born in an utterly alien environment, a different plane, among the stars, or perhaps at the center of the earth. I simply do not know the precise details, because I was sold, given away and kidnapped at an early age and raised a slave for my entire childhood. I would spend the years being tortured and do as I was told. When no one was around, I would always train myself in the art of swordsmanship with a stick. My life was not easy, but it was my life nevertheless.
When I turned 18, I was introduced to love for the first time in my life. Her name was Kaida which means “little dragon” in Japanese. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was also the daughter of the man who I was sold to. Whenever I was around her, my knees would melt and I would become completely speechless. It was indeed love at first sight, but sadly, I was only a simple slave, a rat in a sewer, a pawn in her hands. I was not worthy of her and her beauty. Every day, I would adore her from a safe distance. She was constantly in my mind, and I just couldn’t forget about her. I felt deep inside that she and I would never be, but that didn’t stop me from dreaming.
One day, while on a stroll, she was ambushed by a group of bandits. Their intentions were to kidnap her and demand money from her father in return for her life. I was nearby and quickly grabbed the sturdiest stick I could find. Without fear or doubt in my heart, I confronted the bandits and yelled “Release her or feel the wrath of my mighty wooden stick”. The bandits obviously laughed at me. Afterwards, one of them attacked me but I quickly dodged his attack and stabbed him in the eye. Afterwards the entire group would jump me at once. The battle was quickly over and I was victorious with minor scratches and bruises. I looked Kaida in the eye and asked if she was okay. She didn’t say anything nor did she move a muscle. We were just staring at each other until she leaned in and we kissed. I had never kissed a woman before, and neither had she kissed a man. It was the first kiss for us both, and it was a feeling I cannot describe with words. The emotions that ran through my entire body are still something I will never be able to comprehend. I enjoyed every second of it and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From that day on, Kaida and I would secretly be in love with each other. Our love was forbidden after all. A simple slave and the daughter of a rich man would never be allowed together.
The more I got to know her, the more I fell in love. She wasn’t an arrogant, rich and selfish woman. She was very caring, innocent and I knew she loved me as well. She became my all and everything. I dedicated myself to train hard so I could protect her if it was ever needed. Over the years, my swordsmanship had improved drastically. I was confident that I would be able to defeat anyone who would ever oppose a threat to the love of my life. I was about to be proven wrong.
It was 5 years ago. I had just been sent down to the basement to wash clothes, when I suddenly heard a loud roar that could be heard throughout the entire country. A shockwave was sent through my entire body and it wouldn’t move. The roar was that terrifying. When I thought of Kaida, I quickly snapped out of it and rushed outside with a broom in my hands. In front of my eyes appeared a black dragon, at least 30 meters tall. I couldn’t believe it at first but when the dragon roared a second time, I immediately realized that it was reality. Standing before this dragon I was nothing but a tiny ant that wouldn’t even be worth stepping on. The dragon was causing havoc and everything it touched was reduced to nothing. Countless people instantly died and it was heading my direction. I saw Kaida not standing far away from me and before I knew it, the dragon grabbed her and lifted her up in the air to take a closer look. Never had I ever felt so afraid, so useless, and so fragile.
Kaida died 5 years ago. She was killed by a dragon or rather eaten by one. A lot of things have happened to me since then. A few days after I lost Kaida, another dragon appeared in front of me, but this one was white. “Are you the swordsman without a name?” the white dragon asked me. “I have taught myself the art of swordsmanship and I do not have a name, but I would not consider myself a swordsman”, I replied. “The fact that you’re communicating with me right now is all I needed to know.”, it said, “My name is Lysaia and I have been sent here by a God named Azhantic to deliver a message to you”. “Do you know where I can find a black dragon that attacked this town a few days ago” I asked Lysaia without a second thought. “That’s exactly why I stand here before you, swordsman without a name or would it be more fitting to address you as my Lord”, Lysaia said. “The black dragon that attacked this town a few days ago is a corrupt dragon known as “Kronos”. His intentions are unknown but he has caused a lot of destruction and deaths lately and one of my objectives are to locate and eliminate him, but I cannot do that alone. I need your help, my Lord. Kronos is a mighty dragon who could destroy a horde of dragons with a single strike of his claws.” I was confused. “How can I even think of defeating something like that?” I asked. “Because you’re the son of Azhantic, my Lord. His blood and soul is running through your body. It is true that in your current state, the gap between you and Kronos are worlds apart, but with enough training we can unlock your powers that have been hidden inside of you since the day you were born.” Lysaia said. “How am I supposed to unlock these hidden powers” I asked. “Only you and you alone can do that, my Lord.” Lysaia said. “Very well. I honestly still don’t understand much of this, but since you haven’t eaten me, I suppose I should believe in you. This so called Kronos took the love of my life away from me. I swear on my pride that I will defeat him so Keida can rest in peace”. “I understand, my Lord. By order from Azhantic, you are hereby to be known as Azeltic – The Dragon Knight of The Inquisition. Because you are the son of Azhantic, you are a human gifted with the ability to communicate with other creatures with dragon blood running through their veins just like yourself. There are both evil and pure hearted dragons out there. Which path you choose to walk to seek your revenge is completely up to you. If you ever need my assistance, you can simply whistle and I will hear your call. Until we meet again, my Lord”, Lysaia said in a very formal voice and flew off.
And so began my journey to locate Kronos and claim his head and to help me with my quest, I joined forces with The Inquisition.
