THERANS TALKBACK (Part Two) Blademaster Challenge Essay by Tolmir --------------------------- Greetings, This one day the Sethronu called me to themselves and gave me the challenge to become a Blademaster in our halls. And for that he arranged a test of wisdom and leadership. I am to answer this question in the current scroll: What would I do if I were a Blademaster and if all this, what I am about to tell you, happened... There is a battle, a battle between a warlord that follows the path of darkness and one that prefers the gods of light. It is not a battle that easily is won by one, it is a battle of even strengths and an even wish to win. Dust is in the air, shields are broken and swords are blunted into maces. And then it happens, the powers of the lightwalker overcome the strengths of the follower of darkness. The battle is over. It was tough. One was stunned and the other roughly breathing. Then out of nowhere, pops out this destroyer of all evil in Thera, a Knight. He raises his mace, studded with diamonds, and smashes in the evil warlord's head, not even glancing at the good friend next to him. The warlord that is still alive, at once threatens the Knight, accuses him of slaying his brother in the Fortress of War and finally deathmarks. So the knight and the warlord battle, through the lands with not much to call a result and the Knight runs to his castle in Valour. He tells stories of the warlord, walking in light, betraying their god and protecting an evil creature that poisons the lands and so the Knights number up. They attack the one warlord that they had lost faith in, and also they launch assaults onto the warlords that follow the footsteps of darkness. They fight the warlord, usually two on one, they pound hard. Now everyone is craving war, even the warlords that walk between light and darkness, and do not really prefer either. The Sethronu told me this story in short and asked: What would I do if I were a blademaster? And I must say... First come the companions that you have in the Fortress of War. We stick together, we are the followers of that who currently has been said to be the mightiest warrior of the lands. We stand behind the same purpose... the enjoyment of battles, the rightful honour in battles and spreading the idea of shunning magic. As the warlord of light saw what had happened, his own brother of war was slain in a battle of honour. He was outraged that the Knight had not cared enough of his ways and respected them, he deathmarked and he was right to do so. As for the war that was brought into picture right after has to be taken like it looks like - The knights offend the way of the warlords. If they wish war, they will get War. When before have the Warlords stepped down from a fight? The Warlords will battle, they surely will battle. They shall still follow their ways but not back down. A reason must be shown for every deathmark. As a blademaster of the Fortress I would give out knowledge if someone younger was in trouble and I would battle side by side with those who defend The Fortress. I don't think that I would be left out of this war, so I would fight side by side with my brothers, if so, and then fall side by side with them, but I would never step down from a battle that has been started. Never would I let the Knights offend my ways and even not care about the lifestyle life we lead. I would battle the Knights with my strength and my battle wits. |
