The kingdom of Holodrum; it was truly a cesspool of violence and sorrow that was coated by the glamourous and wonderful looking lifestyle of the rich. It was a land that boasted immense and powerful forces only worthy for one of the three grand kingdoms, but such power was not used to better the bond between the three kingdoms, but merely to merely selfishly keep thing in line for Holodrum. So long as King Rikel held dominion over the land of Holodrum then there was no hope for a bond to form between Holodrum and the other two kingdoms, but things had changed. A change had occurred, a progressive change that hadn’t occurred in years. For once knights from Holodrum and the kingdom and Hyrule stood side by side. Such a gathering between two groups of knights from different lands was only possible due to prince Asthar. The child was only 17 years old and while such an age was perhaps not that young, for the heavy tasks he had taken perhaps it truly was. Ever since King Rikel had been struck with illness the tasks the king could not take were merely taken by the son. Though Asthar was limited in what he did, he tried his best to forge a friendship between Hyrule and Labrynna at the mere age of 13. Attempts with Labrynna were far from any form of success, but Hyrule had a great deal of promise. King Daphnes and Asthar had been able to form a friendship between each other and with it the chance for Holodrum and Hyrule to work along each other grew. Despite the friendship between the king and prince there was still numerous doubts and worries that Daphnes felt about dealing with Holodrum due to King Rikel and there was hesitation in dealing with the other kingdom. When the request came from Asthar to receive some assistance form Hyrule, Daphnes reluctantly agreed taking the small step. Though this was a mission that was meant to strengthen the bonds of Hyrule and Holodrum, Hyrule was not too keen on sending their best knights to Holodrum and so only a handful of knights were sent over to the other kingdom. “Alright men listen up!” A loud and booming voice yelled out to the knights and in that moment the knights that had been casually conversing with each other had begun to immediately stand firmly side by side in a line as a burly man made his way towards them. The man before them was coated in an armor of great quality and his face held look of experience in combat. It was clear that the man before them was the captain and their leader in this mission. “Normally I would not repeat myself, but since we have…guests…I’ll do so. Here in Horon City a group of rebels have been causing a great deal of problems….numerous people of high class have been targeted and assassinated and we are positive the couple of deaths are linked. Without these people funds will be running low and his majesty is quite upset. The mission is simple, investigate and stop these killings. We have already stationed a few guards over to defend the aristocrats so your goal is merely to find out where these bastards are hiding and weed them out like the rats they are!” The captain yelled as most of the knights yelled out a yes sir! With that said the captain merely closed his eyes and folded his arms as he begun to speak once more. “Good… I will be splitting you up into squads…once you are teamed up you will move out immediately!” The captain begun to say but momentarily paused and opened his eyes. “Oh and before I forget…the king wants the culprits alive…I don’t care what methods you must take, but all we need is them alive and nothing more” The captain before beginning to yell out names. With the orders having been given to the group of knights, the knights began shuffling around, moving as directed to the other knights they were paired up with. Normally the squads held around 3 to 4 people, however there was one particular exception to this. “Well then…that just leaves… ah Queensguard…heh I’ve heard about you, you’re the princess’s little friend…” The captain said walking towards the blond knight from Hyrule. “alright you’re going to be stuck with the newbie…don’t get hurt out there kid” The captain said with a chuckle as he glanced over at the last remaining unpaired knight and signaled him over to Elinkar before walking off. A knight whose look was rather plain in most regards glanced over at Elinkar with a bright and happy smile before running up towards the young knight. His outfit was rather basic to the point it was rather a plain light armor covering his torso with a metal helmet over his head. The helmet over his head was a bit big for his head and as such the helmet covered the top of his head and concealed his eyes a bit, casting a shadow over the eyes making merely even more difficult to really even make him look like a generic grunt. “Ah! So you’re the one I’m paired up with!” the knight said with a clearly excited tone before suddenly tripping and falling face first towards the ground. “owowow…I’m ok!” the knight said raising a thumbs before immediately leaping up to his feet and smiling happily holding the top of his helmet as he did so while closing the gap between them. “The name is Tharas! It'll be an honor to be able to work with you!” The knight said with a cheerful grin as he held out his hand to shake. multiply life by the power of two |
