Rederick, a knights responsibility.

Giving the final nod goodbye, a deep, heart warming voice breaks the silence... "Has been much of a learning experience scavenging souls with you Breagan... but I must repent my actions, my nephew shall not grow to become what I have been" The sincerity showing through the whites of his eyes, the band of thieves understand that this is no ploy. "Indeed, She has blessed me" says Rederick, as he unfolds the most resilient orange robe. Saying nothing more, the tall, dark man, donning an oddly pink set of armors, mounts his orange steed. The man violently pitches a sapphire, embedding it into a raised area of earth, opening an effervescent blue doorway that seems to be a reality, but bares no physical attributes. "YAAH!" The horse snorts, and begins to roar as he carries his rider, bursting through the gateway.
Emerging in a land nearby to his place of indoctrination, Rederick is faced with a clan of mysterious, shrouded individuals. He unsheathes an extremely heavy, bright orange halbred. A hue matching exactly that of his robe. "She will not permit the doings of evil in such near proximity to Her place of worship!" He charges the "knight", and at that very moment, the knights steed faces Rederick, and begins to charge with the same authority! Both knights seeking blood and death, they SWING AGGRESSIVELY!! With no connection, Rederick has emerged unscathed, but has dealt no damage to the pitch black warrior. Steering the horse to realign for another swing, he feels a sharp pain from his right side. The shrouded archer has landed a shot directly to his ribcage. Ignoring the wound for now, Rederick breaks the arrow, and readies his halbred... Full speed at each other once again, the earth began to shake, and "CLANKK!!" A blow is landed, Rederick looks back and sees his opponent flailing from the horse. As he begins to apply a bandage, he notices the mount belonging to the fallen soldier beginning to turn red... Rederick finishes applying the bandage, and "encourages" his steed to make a hasty escape. Just as the orange maned horse begins to speed away, FIRE engulfs everything in his line of sight, singing the horse, and scorching the pink armor! He begins to wonder if he can escape in time, or if the only way to ever make it home to care for his nephew again is to incite battle with this MONSTROUS FIRE breathing Hellion of a horse. Sweating form the temperature of his armor, and the uncertainty of battle, Red decides to engage with the beast. Just as he turns to face the monster, he is bashed and is thrown from his steed. As his steed engages with the pitchblack horse, Rederick is in a daze, but shakes it off and rises to his feet. "Im... BLIIIND!!" he cries out. The evil horse realizing the he has not been vanquished, turns his attention to Red. Kicking up dirt, and stomping the earth, he charges at an unbelievable rate of speed. Unable to find his weapon, Rederick begins to pray to Her... "Ah Mi Soh Lah Ka Si Lo" Just as he finishes, the untamed beast lowers his head and attempts to end Redericks life. Simultaneously, a bright white aura surrounds Rederick. As the horse collides, citizens as far away as vesper felt the earth move! Trees have fallen.. clouds of dust patrol the area, and both Rederick, and the monster steed are lying in the dirt. The orange mount rushed to his masters aid, and to his surprise, Rederick rises, coughing and dusting himself off. He looks to the fire breathing steed and sees an obvious lack of life. Astonished, the only image that replays in his head is that of a Grand Master Blacksmith by the name of Arthur Darkstarr who had swore it on his very own life that the oddly pink armor had the potential to fully negate a critical blow, and deal the damage back to the enemy. To which Rederick replied "The day I witness that, Ill see to it myself that you become a God..."
Gathering his belongings, and proceeding to his place of rest in the jungle ridden altar of his Goddess, the remainder of the shrouded clan part down the middle, and make way for Rederick. An elder of the clan chants the words, "Vas Mani" and removes all minor alements from the passerby. Giving him a nod... Rederick and histtrusty steed gallop off to care for his orphaned nephew... Tantalus.
