Two blades clashed heavy against one another, having stepped from their mounts to pursue battle. He barely had the time to raise his shield as her massive sword crashed against it, yet he withstood the dark knight’s assault. His sword sang with the wind as it clashed against her armor with a resounding blow which could be heard across the fields. Cheers from both armies could be heard as the two champions fought against each other in a deadly struggle which would determine the fate of many.
But no matter how hard she struck, or was vicious technique or trickery she used, she could not overcome the young man’s defenses. It enraged her.
Why was he standing so strong against her?
Where was this unconquerable man five years ago?
-“Why?” She questioned under her breath.
-“Why didn’t you save me from this fate five years ago?” She screamed as she struck the shield once again, uselessly.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, her efforts exhausting her to the point she began to pant, out of breath.
The young man dropped his guard, and replied.
-“Because five years ago, I was merely a young boy, not even a squire yet. I was at the King’s castle when the city was sacked. The gates were shut closed before we could get in, and as my family was about to get killed by your army, I stood there, because I refused to let them die while I could do something, ANYTHING to save them. Just like you did too, five years ago.”
She laughed.
–“You mean to tell me a young peasant was able to defeat an entire army?”
-“No”. He replied, cutting her laugh. “I was about to get killed too. I was saved by fate, and you were betrayed by it. But not this time. This time, I will save you too.”
He charged her and put his entire strength, will, and heart in that one blow. As she raised her sword against his, her blade cracked, and was broken, just like her will and that of the army of monsters, who fled the land, forever protected by the Knightly Order of the Wall of Innocents.

Paladin 5/Squire of Legends 3/Knight of the Raven 2/Knight of the Chalice 10
A longsword, a shield and the best armor you can afford.
Goal
You are the quintessential Paladin. Ready to withstand anything thrown at you, forcing evil creatures to fight you instead of your allies, while buffing your party, being able to heal them, ride to battle, and stand your ground even against the most impossible foes. You are the classical trope of the knight in shining armor, with your raven companion and your steed. A white flame on the battlefield, you bring hope to the heart of your allies and dread in that of evildoers.
