A Worthy Challenge
Posted by Kyda on 01/19/22
Outside the Shrine of Gloria a figure stands, tall and resolute and clad in the ancient armor of the Templars. She lifts her voice, speaking clearly to any who will listen,
"I come to this city a servant of Gloria, looking for any who believe themselves worthy. I challenge you to a test - your blade against mine, a fight until first blood is drawn. I will accept any and all challengers until I am satisfied I have found the few who are worthy enough to stand with me. I will wait outside this mighty shrine, and all you need do is accept my challenge. May honor guide you all."
And so she does wait, the tip of her longsword pressed to the ground, her chin tilted upward, her shoulders squared. For days she'll remain. Weeks even, if she must.
