Will - Paladin
We were trapped. In front of us, 30 bloodthirsty vampires.
Behind us the shadow of death rising on a dark, cold catacomb... filled with snakes, scorpions and other nasty creatures.
Our last stand.
We heard them moving towards us, our swords broken, our shields shattered in a thousand encounters.
Hope shattered as well.
Only our tired fists remained and a rusty armor that needed to be put to rest. We couldn't fight with it any more.
Our shoulders were tired, our senses betrayed by so much darkness.
Still we heard them, crawling in the floor, and in the walls and in our hearts. Fear was crawling with them and bravery has abandoned us so many corridors behind.
We breathed our last breath and prepared to meet our makers for all of us had different gods... useless gods that helped us no more beyond our illusionary faith.
Why we came here... we didn't even remember. It was a quest of some sort. An amulet and a treasure. Greed and Life do not walk the same path.
We felt their nails, scratching the floor and the walls and the ceiling. We never thought it would end up like this, but they were so many.
And it was then when hope was lost that our Gods send us a champion... for in the darkness the sun shone on the chest of a warrior of light and courage that drove evil away in every swing of his sword.
He was majestic, graceful and determined to trace a line to darkness.
We died that day and were reborn into the order of the Red Sun. Since then Greed is no longer our way and Life moves with us in every of our quests.
We owe him everything we have become and everything we will achieve.
Glory to the Dungeon Knight !! Glory to the Red Sun God !!
