In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium.)
"To meet the Lady of the Lake.", his eyes glimmer. The woman lets out a chuckle."Oh? And what's your passion, what do you fight for?", in which he looks out over the plains- thinking back to what happened all those years ago. It was his birthday, the 9th of Bloomburrow. He's a proud Knighting, but that night he was nothing but a scared kid. His parents always said he was a knighting through and through, always rising to the occasion and defending his family name when needed. "By the stars above, Marquis, you needn't fight so hard. You're our kid and we're supposed to protect you! Whenever things get tough, just come running into our embrace", they always said when he came home with bruises on his face. He couldn't help loving his family. Why don't they think he can be of help? This night, however, he realized just how foolish he has been. He's no future knight, just a senseless kid. [Redacted] {Never again will I stand frozen}, he vows to himself. {Always first to act. Maybe that way, it'd have been me and not her.} He then returns to reality, looking at the old nice lady, smiling.
"I just love to fight, haha!", he chuckles, refusing to elaborate on his real reason. Never hesitate, always ready. To fight, that is. Hesitating leads to losing lives, and being always ready leads to being able to save more lives - he wants to be the knight in shining armour that saves senseless kids thinking they're tougher than they really are. The Guardian Knight. Seeking an audience with Her may help him get stronger, faster. [Redacted] These are the wishes of a child that grew up too quickly, still not realizing how young he really is. The lady raises an eyebrow and is about to question that, just as the wheelbarrow grinds to a halt. They've arrived at The Spire. "Ah, my future awaits, lady! Thank you for keeping me company~", he hops off the wagon and scurries away. She sighs.
"May the sun shine on you, child."
