Intermission 1 - The Knight
+++
Saber’s POV
+++
When I first opened my eyes. The only thing that appeared was darkness. Slowly light appeared. What I first saw was my creator.
“The birth of servant Saber is complete!! Arise king of knights!! Serve by my side in this world of Arlenia!! Mwahahahaha!!” –Dasas
Non-Player companion Saber is registered to the party of player Dasas
I learn later that players were beings from beyond. They came to our world Arlenia. To defeat the calamities that befall the world. Players must be heroes to have such great power. No. They are some sort of great beings. The players are able to create people after all. The player Dasas created me and calling me servant Saber.
My racial profile had been set as a high elf from The Kingdom. A nation of knights. Elves from the kingdom have sturdy bodies and high affinity to light based magic. Making them the perfect knights.
My creator is now my master. With the blood of knights running through my veins. I will uphold my duty and serve my master faithfully. I had been named Saber after a sword. A suitable name for a knight. I am delighted to receive such a great name.
Years passed. I faithfully follow my master on his adventures. One day he bestowed upon me mythic class weapons. That I have only seen players equip. The mythic class sword Excalibur and mythic class shield Aegis. It is a great honor for a non-player knight to receive such holy weapons. I again renew my vow as a knight. To serve and protect my master. Wherever he may go.
Later on. My master created more people of various races to serve in our party. My master never gifted the other members of our party with mythic class weapons. Aside from me.

This mean master places his trust in me the most. It fills my heart with great emotion. Yes my master. My body and soul are yours to do as you please. Your commands are absolute. I carve this notion onto my very soul.
Many years passed. The other members and I are working towards the god class weapon, for our master. Today is the day. When my master will finally complete his god class weapon. I am happy. All our effort has paid off.
Currently master is on the fourth floor. The workshop in his mansion. Completing the final steps to his weapon. I wait for my master near the stairs on the third floor. Where all the bedrooms are located. I hope to be the first to congratulate my master on his god class weapon. When he comes down from the workshop.
My master seems to have finished. I see him coming down the stairs. However, my master looks very distraught. I am worried something is wrong. As his knight. I must ensure his safety.
“Will you need assistance master?” –Saber
My master has a flustered look. When I spoke to him. He replies with “Saber?” I am unsure what is wrong. I repeat my question. If he requires my help. Master allows me to assist him. I follow right behind him.
Once my master and I left the mansion. What greeted our eyes was an unfamiliar scene of forests and a sky with three moons. I immediately realize. We are not on Arlenia anymore.
I look to my master. Noticing the shocked expression on his face. I must prepare myself for whatever may come. I realize this was not what my master anticipated. We entered back inside the mansion. Move up to the second floor. Then my master goes and sit on his golden throne. Staring down at me.
“What the hell is going on?” –Dasas
I do not know master. Whatever is going on. It does not change my duty. I will follow my master’s orders. Face this new world with him as his knight. Any who brings harm to master. Will be cut down by my sword.

8 197Dragon, Knight
When one becomes a knight, they accept a certain standard befitting of one. Well, mostly. Volsten is a knight that isn't all that knightly. He's young, handsome, and quite gifted with a blade. His problems, however, aren't physical. He's rude, greedy, and a womaniser to his very core. Unfit for courtly life or the rigors of the king's army, he wanders the world in search of gold. That is, until he meets a mysterious dragon girl. This chance encounter changes the course of his life-for better, or worse.
8 118Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary. Questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for supporting me! |||| Story is finished, just getting into a publishing schedule on Royal Road for the first time. ||
