"Enough" Her heavenly voice resohroughout the room, the pulsion to kneel, vanishing as quickly as it came.
"My knight shall bow to no one." Her and seemed to bee reality.
"Divinity" She spit the word out, her voice tig his ears. "Such a silly little thing, isn't it?" Her voice raised a pitch; he could almost imagihe divine smile on her face.
He looked up, his kraightening as he stood.
He must have beey exhausted to dream of such a magnifit figure.
"My My" The figure fanned herself "Quite the charmer, my champion is, if only your thoughts weren't so loose with the others" She clicked her tongue, He could feel the pace rumbling, thunder r, and lightning illuminating his surroundings.
He tried to bance himself, not to stumble, the a arising a melodious ughter from the figure.
The ers of Aegeon's lips were pulled downward, a frown f on his face. He turned his head looking around, figures that were blurry, with lightning as wings roamed around the pace.
"Focus" His thoughts were pulled as everything around him became clear, his eyes and face turning towards the figure.
"You won't ever uand how many strings I pulled to get this meeting" She rested her head on her hand.
"So don't bme me fetting a little Jealous that you aren't paying attention to me" She pouted, or at least he felt she did.
"Apologies" She spoke as if menting something, it started to rain in the pace.
"You are too weak, to look at me directly"
"A shame really, Id love to see the look on your face, when you gaze upon my visage," A soft chuckle escaped her lips.
"Regardless, gratutions on being a Padin." The rain ceased, thunder r in celebration.
"A gift is in order" Her figure fshed Infront of him, the lightnings lips were pced on his forehead. He felt a warmth he had never felt before.
"My knight in shining armor should have armor fitting to match him,'" She spoke in a sultry voice, before pushing him forward.
"Win my beloved Knight aurn to me" She whispered softly. her words obscured by thunder, he could barely make out her words as he woke up abruptly.
Fuck! he moved around filing his arms, he could smell the st of wood burning and the aroma of finely cooked meat, his mouth watering.
"Do you always wake up like this?" Isabels familiar voied over him, she was fnked by two golden-armored knights, both bearing the Wolf howling towards the moon sigil. Their armor was intricately engraved with wolves hunting down all sorts of animals. Most familiar, he noticed on the right knights Chest pte, a wolf was dev the sun, and on the left, a wolf eating a stag.
"Privacy" Her tone cold, she gred at the knights, her fae of indifference, like a finely crafted ice statue.
The knights made no move to leave the small tent.
"Kail," She grabbed the bridge of her nose in annoyance. "Do you really believe my savior would harm me" Both knights turo look at each other a.
She turowards Aegeon, the i her expression thawed, the ers of her lips pulled upwards, her eyes sparkling while her cheeks flushed. A genuine smile graced her lips.
Aegeon turned his head, looking around, avoiding her gaze, the pce was luxuries, even more than his old home on Terra, his words felt lost, but he mao speak.
"Wow, I've never met a princess before" It was an awkward attempt at humor, but perhaps it was fuhaended.
She covered her mouth and ughed, the sound like ringing bells.
He sheepishly rubbed his head.
"So..." he paused, as she handed him a meal. "How long was I out?"
"Half a day"
"Your body is surprisingly resilient, others would have been out of ission for weeks." She trailed off, before clearihroat.
He was relieved, he wasn't out for more than a day, his body rexed, the tension leaving him, as he id in the 'bed'.
"What are your pns?" She asked her voice sounding hopeful, while she absentmindly twirled her hair with a finger.
"Reunite, with Rachel and the others." Aegeon prayed before he stirred the bowl of stew and took a mouthful with the spoon, quickly dev the tents like a starved beast.
"Won't you e to my domain with me" A distinct blush crept up her face. "We build a church for you"
It wasn't a bad offer, and it was kind of her to ask him in the first pce. He paused his meal, Aegeon wasn't exaggerating when he said that the sun god fa won hard. It was one of the Major reasons humanity fell so easily in the first game. But he didn't want to leave her to die, as the daughter of the grand duke, she robably going to be at the forefront of the fight.
"Thank you" Her lips curved upwards until a grin that threateo split her fa two arrived, He stopped before she got too excited "But, only after I rescue the others and find out what my god wants in this forest."
She nodded, a bright smile on her face.
"Then it's a promise" She extended her picky finger.
He hooked his pinky finger with hers.
Her breath hitched, a ugh esg from her throat, she csped her hands together, her lips trying but failing to not break into a grin.
"I'll see if I talk to the Knight my father sent for me, to let me apany you on your journey." She turned, opening the fps of the tent, befng at him her lips parsed together and leaving.
He rested ieing his meal with a bright grin on his face. He fi and began to wait for Isabel.
The tent fpped opened, Isabel walked in first, her eyebrows furrowed, and her nose sched up, her lips slightly twitg. She was followed by an older man, a bald guy with a walrus moustache, grey eyes, and high cheekbones. A -shaven beard, golden armored ed around him. A wolf howling at the moon stamped on his chest. A moose eating grass on his right breast.
Aegeon couldn't remember whose family crest was a moose.
"Are you the idiot speaking poison to the princess?" His voice left pleasao be desired.
"Sir...?"
"Matthews" The knight interjected "Viander of the Silver Order" He pounded his chest
"Don't be rude" Isabel, gred at Matthews.
"I am Aegeon, Storm Herald of Revera"
"I could care less who you are, if you think I'm going to allow the princess, to go with someone, who couldn't even defend her from us you are sorely mistaken."
He looked at Aegeon from head to toe.
"Look at you, ying down, where are your manners boy you are in the presence of royalty."
"Enough" Isabel anded.
Aegeon slowly got up, his limbs stretg and creaking, he stepped forward, walking Infront of Matthew.
Matthew's aura burst out, freezing everything around him, the aura so inte made Theodore seem like a child.
Aegean's knees buckled, he stepped fritting his teeth, the words from his god reverberating in his head.
My knight shall bow to no one.
His eyebrows narrowed mirr his eyes. Blue Lightning flickering around his forearms, the color shifting to yellow before turning back to blue.
He stood face to face with Matthew, his eyes leaking lightning.
At the absolute peak of tension, Matthews hardened gaze softening, his lips curving upwards as a hearty ugh escaped his lips, his aura disappearing.
"Some spirit in you boy" He patted his chest roughly, making Aegeon stumble back slightly, his eyebrow raising.
"The duke would like you" He put a hand on his shoulder, before removing his gau aending his hand.
"Thanks for saving the princess"
He csped his arm in a handshake.
"You dress like a barbarian, where do you hail from?"
The budding smile on his face stiffened, do these people have no de? Aegeon swore he did not look like a barbarian; surely he was missing the egregiously rge muscles.
Yeah, Aegeon was no barbarian, if he had to look like something would it not be a charming rogue? Or a wandering knight? He looked down, ht, he wasn't wearing a shirt.
His discovery dampened his mood, he inwardly sighed, his thoughts shifted to the question. Obviously, they wouldn't believe the truth, well there was only oio.
Pick a dire and just say farther.
"I'm from further north" He smiled triumphantly, hiding the smirk from f on his face.
"See I knew you were a barbarian" Isabel spoke, her eyes sparking with mirth, as the er of her lips tilted upwards with a teasing grin.
Matthew let out a boisterous ugh. "Those barbarians are tough bastards, and if anything what Isabel said was true so are you." He punched his chest lightly.
"ENEMY ATTACK!" A scream was heard outside the tent, shortly followed by the sounds of g swords.
Matthew grabbed his sword and uhed it, ice radiating from its hilt, the bde emanating frost.
"Take the princess and go" He reached for a map on his belt. "I will meet you here" He turned ahe tent.
"Does the golden order wish to decre war on the Grand Duchy of Boreas?" He heard Matthews loud voice ask.
"Give me the heretic's and you will all be spared" Aegeon peeked out, the words ing from Sir Gideons mouth.
The camp id in tatters, everywhere he looked a knight was fighting another, id fmes battling for supremacy.
"The wolves of the North ao no man." His bde cshed with Gideons Rapier.
"Let's go" He grabbed onto Isabel's arm and dragged her away.
"We 't just leave him here" He closed his eyes praying for victory, "He'll live" his voice sounding more uain thaended.
Two, silver armored knights stood in his path. Aegeon summoned a bolt of lightning, Isabel beside him summoned a rapier made of ice.
The two, respectively stepped Infront of their oppos, "Don't kill him you'll be marked for life" Aegeon whispered in a voice that only Isabel could hear.
It wasn't so much of a problem in any game after Deminos one, but if at any point you killed a padin of the golden order, you would be marked by said god.
"I know" She whispered back. Her hands gripping, the sword tightly, she swiped up, it was blocked by the golden knight, his sword engulfed in Golden-Fmes, she pulled back her bde before kig the knight's kh her foot encased in ice, his knee buckled, she swung again cutting across his chest, the wound freezing shut.
He swung his bde, Isabel parried before knog on the helmet with her hilt rattling the knight knog him out.
Aegeon stabbed his spear into the Knights shoulder, letting the spear dissipate, the knight grabbed his wound, healing it with golden light, he pulled out an axe and attacked Aegeon, who deflected it, and puhe knight in the head, causing the knight to step back.
The knight swung nig Aegeon who retaliated by smming his fist in the knight's cheek knog him out.
"Lets go befo---
A golderaveled through the air, it was about to hit Isabel, Aegeon pushed her out of the way getting impaled by the spear in the head.
Shit
