Awoken
I woke up today in an unfamiliar place. I heard distant voices and felt dazed when I opened my eyes and heard a girl ask if I was alright. A human girl kneeled beside me and helped me sit up, only to see a Faun, an elf, and another human who was enormous. They asked who I was but I cannot remember other than my name, Hrist. They seemed to be wary of me yet unsurprised of this encounter and finally introduced themselves . There was Kayla the faun, Harold the elf, Hammer the really tall human, and finally Cali the gentle faced girl next to me.
After regaining my strength, the party offered me to travel with them to the port of Dover. Along the way they described the realm of Thocia and it's current state of conflict. Several years ago, a queen said to possess the look of a goddess rose to power through dark magic and begun a campaign of destruction. Queen Minerva was ruthless and would kill and torcher anyone, ally or foe for little reason.
After arriving in Sudbury, I ultimately decided to go my own way to find who I am and thanked the party for their kindness and wished them well. I wondered the town for several hours to find any clues, I asked a blacksmith if he recognized my great sword, only to be told that the steel was forged too fine and nothing like he'd seen before. I found a tavern, an inn, a library, and even a fortune teller all the same answers. They didn't know who I was nor recognize my name. Walking down the street, people began panicking and running past me toward the town's center where a large paladin stood with his entourage. He bellowed out that someone had been found plotting against the new order and the queen herself. A child was pushed out in front of him crying and pleading for help. The paladin raised his sword and bellowed that the child would pay that price for those responsible. Without thinking I acted and pushed myself past the crowd with my sword drawn and demanded the child be let go. Hammer from the party I'd just met (who stood almost as tall as the paladin) came running and said he was sorry that I was under the influence of mead and an ill prank. The paladin swung his sword at the child and I acted, swinging back at him. With a loud clang of metal, the paladin fumbled back and with a blood rage howl, he swung his sword at me. With my own rage, I parried his strike and cut his sword arm with one swift motion leaving him howling in pain. His entourage where stunned at what just happened and slowly backed away from me. I couldn't believe it, they were going to slaughter an innocent child. One solider started rushing me with an arrow zipping past my head, sinking itself into the head of the solider. I looked behind me and saw Kayla's arm extended with a bow. The last three soldiers decided to flee and left their two comrades on the ground. Absolutely stunned I had taken down a paladin with little effort, the party had escorted me to the dock yard, away from the crowds. I asked them if the offer to help fight this new order was still standing.
