《A Knight's Promise》Pre Chapter 3: A New Dawn
Advertisement
As the capital city crumbled with the fall of the 3 crystal monoliths the gunships took the members of the attack to Hope city where the injured Zerrohnians, High Glaives, and Vai'len rebels were taken and given treatments.
Kent saw many each warrior was heavily injured and burned during the fight some lost their limbs, others their friends, and to some their brothers or sisters.
He and his men were brought into the 2nd hospital deployed by the Storm Raider to accommodate the high influx of casualties from the battle. Even the liberated who were given their human rights to them due to the effects of the collar of enslavement mentally scaring them to the point they were mere puppets.
Many of the Legion physicians had a very hard time to heal the mentally scarred the Fleet's Telepaths could only ease their pain by putting them to sleep. Though the Storm Raider had over hundreds of thousands of medical officers, doctors, and supplies that can accommodate an entire planet for a decade.
They worked with dedication, and without rest to help the victims of the war while the remaining adventurers searched high and low for the nobles who escaped the sky raiders during the final assault on the Capital city.
Each of the surviving Venerate Wolves of the Night Dreamer exploration buried the remaining everyone in the mass grave site near the city.
After the Rebellion's victory, the Vai'len had restructured themselves to no longer be ruled by one though they still retain the king's status. Instead, it will be governed by a council of 12 elders from each race that lives on Ren'veil.
Each of the races Starting with the Humans, Elven, Dwarven, Lizardmen, Beast folk, Dragon-kin, Dyrads, Spirits, Giants, and the new settlers the Knights of the Dragon-wolf, Sentinels, and High Glaives.
Though the High Glaives could not decide a representative until their queen could give a decision for them. Several days after his recovery Kent was offered a seat in the new leadership as he could lead the Vai'len to a better tomorrow he agreed to it until a better representative could be selected.
Fulfilling his duty as a part of the council he took on a more hands-on approach with leading the council providing brand new methods of improving life on Ren'veil. The Knights and the High Glaives did their part in restoring Ren'veil to its former glory or even better there was plenty of food to go around, jobs were offered to the everyone, Medical care was easier to reach, and the economy and life expectancy for everyone reached an all-time high.
Though progress was given to the Vai'len he always remembered the teachings of his mentors from the kingdom, and to the priestesses and Mages from the Vai'len.
It only took a few weeks for the Zerrohnians to improve life on Ren'veil though it was difficult for many Vai'len to adjust many wholeheartedly accepted the changes yet some like the old nobility were not so open-minded.
A day before the Changing year had come to Ren'veil a massive fleet led by a gargantuan planetoid ship entered Ren'veil's planetary gravitational ring.
The New Dawn had arrived with the full might of the Dragon-wolf Navy arrived on the planet as they were met by the Sky Raider fleet and the 7 Executioner clan hive fleet.
After a heated discussion with Levia, Tyrannox, and General Jonah Stryke the leader of Iron Mammoth Navy. Eventually, the Royal guard of the Redridge family along with the Grand Archon Victor Redridge and Grand Queen Charlotte Sentinel Redridge arrived at New Hope city.

Victor Redridge the leader of the Dragon-wolf Kingdom, standing at 8 feet and 4 inches dark skin, brown eyes, black hair, and a scar-like birthmark on the side of his head.
He wore a class 7 relic suit made by his the first founder known as Ark-Zero war suit a powerful war suit that can never be beaten in a contest of strength making it a very powerful opponent regardless of its age.
He held the most powerful weapons ever forged by the Redridge clan called the God Killer lance as its namesake this weapon was said by Tallis Bloodkane in dealing the final blow in one of the newborn god of malice during the 2nd war.
While the one next to him is his wife Charlotte Sentinel Redridge, like her namesake she is one of the last sentinels made during the last part of the 2nd Great War before their liberation thanks to Victor's actions.
She stands at 5 feet and 2 inches, with long blond hair, blue eyes, and pinkish fair skin, she is also seen wearing cute flowing dresses on her off duty. When she is on duty she wears a white type 9 light commando mesh suit with black and red streaks all over the suit, jet boots with an environmental black Xerrohmite skinsuit.
The Queen of the Dragon-wolf kingdom is known for her expertise in close-quarter combat with dual-daggers, double pistols, shock baton, explosives, grappling hooks, and the type 5 gauss rifle with interchangeable cartridges.
Charlotte is known for her ability to complete black op's missions on her own and assassination mission giving her the title of The daughter of Death.
But she is also well known to be a doting and overprotective parent but her love for her children is well known in the Sentinels and is very affectionate. Before they could continue their reunion there was one last thing that was needed to be done before they could talk.
At the newly built city center of Hope city, they're all the warriors who lived through the fight against the New kingdom had gathered. The knights and marines repainted their armor with the symbols and iconography of their fallen brothers and sisters some even wore the sigil of their fallen company leaders on their armor as a remembrance to the fallen.
The Berserker company who painted their armor with three black streaks on their helmets and the symbol of the dragon head on their left shoulder pouldron.
The council of 12 had gathered at the city square as promised to welcome the rest of the Dragon-wolf kingdom.
Kent stood before the masses with Aisha and Yunno beside him as the celebration was being broadcasted all across the planet and the Dragon-wolf territory. The songs and instruments played that day filled the hearts and minds of the people with joy and hope hand in hand the Vai'len stood side by side with their saviors.
He looked at the city center and the crowds cheer on to the sky raiders and the high glaives who now live together with the Vai'len and their brothers and sisters from the Dragon-wolf. With a deep breath he removed his helmet with a smile on his face he greeted the people who welcomed and stood beside him during his stay.
As the sun was about to set on the eve of the celebration Kent stood before the masses he cleared his throat as the warriors of both worlds stood silent with all eyes and ears towards the knight lords as he addressed the people.
Faith taught us to live freely is not a privilege but a right bestowed upon the created, that is why we Zerrohnians stand as the shield and the sword that strikes through the darkness and bring balance to the worlds that need our aide.

I know many of us suffered and tormented for the loss of our people, our friends who lost their way during the long journey to the frontier... But now we stand together for a new chapter begins for both worlds... On this day we celebrate the liberation of this blue world from the threat of tyranny and extinction... Today the Knights of the Dragon-wolf had wandered the galaxy long enough... Today the children of the Dragon-wolf are nomads no more... Today we start a new... Today WE WONDER NO MORE... HONOR THE FALLEN... JUSTICE FOR REQUIEM...
FOR... THE... NEW DAWN!!!
Fireworks began to fill the skies with a strange yet powerful glee filled the hearts of the many as the celebration began. The massive ceremonial bonfire was lit in the city center laughter and cheer fill the night sky as the Vai'len danced to the beat of the beating drum.
The men and women of the sky raiders joined in the festivities dancings and eating the night away some were able to find love that night.
Even the battle-hardened warriors of the Iron-wolves and Crusaegrum templars were able to find a new start upon this world. Though the celebration within the city was well underway the trio of heroes walked to an old and abandoned home near the coastal line at least 3 km north where the Storm raider landed just.
This house was near the edge of the forest of beginning Yunno looked at the old house as it was her home. She remembered the days she lived with her sisters in this old home before the war against the demon king began.
Her 15 sisters were cared for and raised by Yuvon Fullvrink "The Red Ogre" a former adventurer of the Red dragon guild of Hope city. She closed her eyes afraid of facing her own past Kent held her hand telling her that he will be right beside her every step of the way and so did her sister.
"Thank you Kent..."
"It is my pleasure Yunno... I care for you both and that shall never change." Kent said embracing them in his arms.
"HEY... Don't do that..." Aisha shouted as her skipped a beat.
Yunno giggled as she watched her sister's face turn bright red she asked Kent to help her move a few things inside her home while Aisha cleaned up the house using her magic.
Despite the house being left alone for 2 years, Kent felt the aura of her father Yuvon as his spirit manifested before him. He saw his last daughter alive and well he looked towards the knight lord telling him to take care of them before fading away.
Though they are not sisters by blood they are sisters through a shared bond of friendship and mutual trust. He removed the glove over his left palm looking at the summoned mark the sealed oath that binds them together.
He asked them to go with him near the beachside where the three made the sealed promise was first made. Yunno wondered why her knight would ask them out to the place they made their first memory together.
In accordance to the ancient laws of the Vai'len should a Summoned Hero's seal of oath that binds him to his or her summoners the hero can decide to perform the ceremony of union between the child of the Earth mother or the daughters of the Wolf Father.
Should the seal remains the same to the birthmarks of both summoners then the right of union can be performed with both summoners with the sealed oath as proof of the god's blessing.
He kneeled before the two removing his glove revealing the seal of oaths to them he told them on the day he was about to leave. It struck him like a lightning bolt that this world showed him kindness, compassion, and hope that was given back to him when he was turned into a monster inside the Hell's gate.
Lady Aisha and Lady Yunno, 2 years ago I was but a monster born from the crimes of jealousy and greed... When I was called to your world you showed me a light that I lost so long ago... I give my thanks to you for saving me that day... I did not want to leave but I was forced back... I used everything I had to find you again to fulfill my promise and remake it as the 3 gods and goddess Faith as my witness.
By the right of the gods and the seal of oath, I Kent Redridge, Knight lord of the Sky Raiders, and Archon candidate of the Dragon-wolf Kingdom humbly ask for your hands in union... Should you accept this fool of a knight I vow to remain loyal and true to my oath to both of you... If not then I will leave in peace and pledge myself to become the shield of this world.
The two looked towards each other as Kent waited in silence for their decision the two remembered the days they traveled together during the war against the demon king. The days and nights they spent during the 1-year war the friendship, trust, and even love that bloomed during his stay.
They nodded to one another as they sat next to him Aisha embraced him while Yunno held his hand placing it over her chest.
"Kent, you saved us from the land drake hydra even though you took the full blast of its venomous breath that should have either killed you by its poison or melted away... You somehow came out unharmed... Hey, you even traveled the trigor mountains to get the fire frost flower needed to save my sis and that place is already like extremely dangerous for normal adventurers to go too... And you also saved Aisha from being consumed by the cursed tome of Joul'kai... Our point is... Even if you ask us our choice is already set and stone you don't have to do anything else just be yourself when you're with us and we love you because of that..." Aisha and Yunno said as they openly accepted his oath.
With their oaths made and sealed with a kiss the seal of oath's upon his left hand shined brightly as it changed its shape to become the pledge of unity recognizing the holy matrimony between the three. The pledge recognized by the three gods of Ren'veil deep within each temple of the wolf Father deep within it lies the Tome of pledged souls.
Here the names of the pledged shall be written their names shall appear only if their matrimony is recognized by the three gods. Should their names appear upon the sacred tome then none can object as they would have to face the gods themselves should their unity be found lacking by others.
The night is young as they say for the first time in their lives they found each other as love its course over them none could stop the three as their love is true. United in both body and spirit it would seem that the wolves howl and the temptation of youth had taken hold over the three.
For some, the journey may end with the union of these souls to others it is only a new chapter to a story yet to be told.
For those who follow the will of creation and that of Faith's guidance, all who walk the path of the knight shall always face trials that shall challenge their pledge to those that they hold dear.
Let none find them wanting...

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]
