It had been a long trek on this last mission. Finally a knight and a member of the Dusk Sanctum, Rin had been paired with Isander, a knight of the Dawn Sanctum. It was common that a Dawn and a Dusk member were paired together. They had ridden out to search out a creature that had hidden in the...
The hunting party still struggled in the mud and their elven guide seemed torn between which side to choose, so Rin turned her focus to the bear. At least momentarily calm enough to let her reach out to grasp the spear. Her other hand reached into a pouch at her side to pull out a stone runed...
Did these young lords understand nothing? She kept the arrow resting on her bow, held in place by skilled fingers. Rin felt the anger as they so easily disregarded the order of the Wilds. The Knight's responsibility for the forest. Disregarded that they were the keepers whether they chose to...
Poachers.
Rin felt anger and sadness build in her in equal measures. This forest was protected, specifically by the Knights of Anathaeum. This wouldn't be the first time that rich noblemen ignored that claim. No one was supposed to hunt in these woods without permission. It was a delicate...
Rin moved through the woods on silent feet, a bow in her hands with an arrow nocked. The squire was on a mission with a few other knights, but had split away from the group momentarily to hunt for their dinner. She crept through the trees on the lookout for a few rabbits. They didn't need...
"That was my next question." Rin assured him. "If we had sent emissaries before and she didn't attack them, then what caused that to change? It was clear that we had some kind of mutual agreement prior to the attack otherwise the emissaries wouldn't have been sent in the first place."
The...
Rin felt the heavily armored form slam into her gut and gasped for air, before being thrown to the ground. She wasn't going to give up yet. Her short sword spun from her grasp from the force, but she managed to keep ahold of her longer blade.
The squire kicked at the side of the knight's knee...
A shape-shifting spider woman.
Rin was certainly not surprised, but more resigned at this point. She supposed she couldn't expect anything easy in her trial and she imagined this was likely going to be the hardest mission that she'd been on to date. All she could do was to do her best and to...
Rin took in deep breaths as the monster fell at her feat. The creature's throat dissolving thanks to the iron powder. Probably a painful way to die and she couldn't help but feeling sorry for the creature. Perhaps in another life, in another time things could have been different. The young...
The smell that came from Orsolya's laboratory was familiar and it sent her heart racing. Something crunched underfoot and Rin looked down seeing the orange lily there smashed into the stone. Her knight sister hated orange lilies and she was sure it had to do with her youth. Ahead of them the...
Rin could tell what Chadwick planned to do the moment he reached his leg forward to hook his heel behind her leading foot. Instead of allowing herself to be pushed off balance, she pushed her weight into him. With one of his feet attempting to lock and pull against her foot, he should have been...
The young squire couldn't believe that she was finally to this point. That she'd started on the mission that would be her trial. She was partnered with Syr Guernot, a kivren from the Pursuant of Dawn, someone that at least in terms of the Knights of Anathaeum, would be her opposite should she...
Rin moved slowly with Orsolya giving her tips and suggestions as they moved about the field. For the younger, it felt like she'd grown up with a sword in hand and it had taken a while for her to come to grasp the different magics that the knights taught in the monastery. Orsolya was the...
Rin had finished her trial and now all that was left was to have to official swearing ceremony, which at this point was more a formality than anything. As she trudged through the snow heading back to the stables where she'd been caring for Ghost, the young knight could feel the stitches rubbing...
Rin had a feeling her trials would be soon and she could feel her nerves beginning to grow. She wouldn't know when the trial would be, not until until the Knight Captain of the Dusk came to retrieve her. But Rin had made her choice. While there had been more recognition of the help that she'd...
