Druldeich Ehre Kraft

Story takes place just recently after Apollyon's death Druldeich. Ehre. Kraft. Druldeich started out a farmer's boy and was thrown into the domain of life and landed lopsided. His father was a decent man, he tried to provide his family and wife with everything he had in his soul but sometimes it was not enough. He was found drowning himself in ale from time to time as things in life got worse. Druldeich saw this work ethic and solemn responsibility that his father possessed and was driven by his father's example of character to succeed or at least try to succeed in every aspect of life. He attended school when he could and quickly picked up on every concept thrown at him. Thus turning this farmer's boy into a young philosopher. Yet, this didn't change his duties of shoveling dung and picking crop. He yearned to learn and educate himself in school but wasn't able to consistently go. He did realize that instead he could study and analyze the church and the teachings in the bible. Through this he gained a scholarly level of understanding of the bible and the definition of true faith. He often spent time studying any piece of literature he could get his hands on to keep his wits sharp. As he grew he also gained a new sense of perception. He could tell when father's crops weren't selling well or when mother was scared of the family being stricken with terrible poverty. One day Druldeich could tell it was getting worse, father often muttered to himself in fear about what the loan sharks might do to him. As a boy soon becoming a teen with an adult level of knowledge he realized he couldn't help in the matter and thought the grief his father had would pass like the old times. Then, while Druldeich was asleep, men stormed the house and mercilessly beat his father. They began dismembering his left hand and when they were about to cut off his second finger his mother gave herself up to them as payment. They ravaged her and all Druldeich could hear was moans of pain and shrieks of sadness. With his father now partially a cripple and his mother raped, Druldeich turned to the bible. He began getting thoroughly involved in the church and all aspects of its hierarchy. When he became a teen he fled to an ashfield knight stronghold and took up training. He left his mother and father without a word and promised to return. He took up fighting with the sword and shield, with his shield he swore to defend his comrades from and fiend and with his sword he would instill his divine justice and power into the gullets of his foes. As his training and rank among knights progressed he began sending what little money he could back to his family. The second time he would face turmoil in his life would begin once he ascended the ranks as a squire instead of a water boy trained to kill or be cannon fodder. Coincidentally this affair again occurred while Druldeich slept. He awoke to cold steel pressed against his neck and shouting. In the corner of his eye he saw a man dressed in a dark cloak and cowl and he held a beautifully shining silver messer and a kite shield. On his shield was emblazoned an orange Skull and a Knight helmet parted down the middle by a sword surrounded by black all around it. He realized the person ready to kill him was the knight he was squire to. This knight was also accompanied by 4 other men. Rather then let the knight end him, Druldeich grabbed the knight's sword and blood spurted from his hand. He then gouged out the knight's eye with his free hand then quickly reversed the sword into the knight's throat. He yanked the sword free from the now dead man's grasp and the knight's 4 lackeys were quickly upon him. He parried his first attacker's blade and disemboweled the next before his blade could connect with Druldeich's shoulder. The other two stopped and were transfixed by intimidation and fear. The previous attacker, whom Druldeich parried, was beginning to strike. Druldeich again pulled off a beautiful parry and then threw the man to the floor. With one swift stab Druldeich penetrated the poor fool's eye socket and cut deep into the brain. He felt a strike from one of the enemies land on his back but he quickly reprimanded the fool with a slash across the throat. As Druldeich was beginning to strike the last one down the man in the black cloak raised his voice. "No" he said. Surprisingly this stopped Druldeich's blood rush and he then passed out from blood loss. As he awoke Druldeich was greeted by the shadowy man once again. "Camio" was whispered into his ear. The man began telling tales about Apollyon and her victories. He then explained his name was Camio and he was a black prior. He began retelling the night before when Druldeich slaughtered those three men and admired the "wolf" in Druldeich. He wanted to recruit Druldeich and refine his fighting style as a black prior. Druldeich decided this Camio figure was obviously a veteran and realized his decline of this offer would spell his death. Druldeich took a knee and was dubbed a knight of the Black Priors and the two embarked on a journey to Mt.Ignis. It is here where Druldeich would hone his skills and and even surpass this Camio. He remained secluded in this mountain with Camio for a while until recently. As a pair these two men pledged their swords and fealty to the new Blackstone Legion Warlord, Judex Fames. Druldeich and his mentor took up place on the frontlines of battle for the Blackstone Legion. Their foes would pray for death rather than face these two and the "wolves" Druldeich faced often joined their ranks.
