What Is Honor ?

His new family

Third person P.O.V

It was one week of none stop traveling , always making sure to be at least two days ahead of the vikings . Alexander the father of the family that has taken Darren along , knows the lands quite well considering he was a mercenary in his youth . His wife Julia
was the daughter of a wealthy merchant , so she had some high ranking people in ashfeld who would be willing to help . There was Olivia is in charge of her younger sister , and Isabella who is really excited at being able to explore ashfeld since her family had stayed with Darren's family since she was born . Darren is .... not well , losing everything and everbody you had know in such a short time has ....
" disrupted " the poor boy , it is not that he isn't functioning it like he isn't there .

Julia is worried about him , though she understands why he is like this , she feels bad because she can't even think of what to do that would help , so she ask her daughters to try and cheer up
Darren . Her daughters have different reactions , Olivia has no idea what to do
And ask

O : What could I do to help him ?
.
While Isabella almost immediately walks over to Darren and says

I : You are going to play with me

Darren is of course confused by the sudden declaration and just stared at her

D : What ?

I : You . Are . Going . Too . Play . With . Me .

D : O...k....

Isabella then takes Darren's hand and drags him away . All the while Julia and Olivia stare in disbelief when Olivia breaks the silence.

O : I guess Julia has it handled .

J : I guess so

And so Darren was made to play pretend with Isabella . She made him be her knight in shining armor. Darren was of course confused how to be a knight but he started to remember somethings his father had taught him . Eventually he was fully committed to playing pretend . He and Isabella had played all day and when night fell they were both extremely tired , going to bed immediately after dinner . They then rose early in the morning and started playing again .

8 years later

Darren P.O.V

It's been eight years since Isabella , Olivia and their family took me in . These past years it seems the vikings have pushed the Iron legion back more with their constant raids against our villages . Other legions seem to come about like this new Blackstone legion it is apparently very formidable, tackling the viking problem head on and winning . Alexander has joined the Iron legion as a gaurd of one of the cities they hold . Thankfully they needed the man power and took him on instantly since he had an extensive background in mercenary work , so he was made a captain relatively fast . Alexander has even started training me and his daughters in fighting, which again im grateful to him . Julia has had another child five years ago this time it was a boy , they decided to name him Axel . One day as Olivia , Isabella, and I were training together a group of knights approached us or more particularly they approached Olivia.

K1 : Hey they pretty lady

O : (Annoyed huff ) What do you want ?

K1 : Well we just wanted to see if your were up for some sparing one on one ~

O : No I'm not . Now please go away .

K2 : Hey don't just try and brush us off . We were just being.... friendly ~

O : Well i don't want to be your friend not go away .

This group started to get agitated at her rebuttals . Their leader seemed most of all up set he then tried to reach and grab her shoulder I then intercepted it , he was not pleased.

K1: What do you want mongrel

In the coming years since that night so very long ago . I have grown quite a bit I stood a head to head with
Mr.Alexander and may grow even larger . My strength thanks to Mr. Alexander's training, has frown exceptional as well .

D : She wished to be left alone so ... Buzz of you rats .

My voice was calm and even , doing my best to not show any emotion.

K1 : Do you know who I am ?

D : Does not really matter to me just leave us alone

K1 : I am the son of the commander of this city so show some respect !!!

K2 : Now get lost we have some business to attend to .

They tried to push past me but again I halted them in their path . I will not allow them to harass those I call me sisters.

K1 : Well it seems you need to be taught a lesson .

They drew their blades as I drawed mine . We stood there a moment with Olivia and Isabella watching from the side lines as many other gathered to watch us . Then without anymore time wasted the first to lunge was K1 , his attack was sloppy and slow so I moved and grabbed his arm and kneed him in his gut. Then came in K2 he threw a over head at me , so I moved to his right and kicked him the leg causing him to stagger to his left and then with a hard hook to the face he was on his ass . A few more followed their attempt of a attack , but it was uncoordinated and so it failed . Everyone around us cheered for my victory but then everyone was silent as the commander himself came and looked at what had transpired ... he was not pleased. I came to realize this man was alot like his son arrogant and entitled.

C : WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS MY SON IS ATTACKED AND YOU JUST STAND BY AND WATCH !?!?!?

Everyone in was silent , he brought his finger up and pointed it at me say for his men to seize me my sisters protested say his son had attacked first and that this wasn't right . The
" commander " merely dismissed them he than escorted me away in cuffs . Sitting in the prison cell was not enjoyable , while waiting to be released I spoke to the prison guards who at first did not acknowledge me but after a few attempts they started to talk back. . I learned many of them were from places that had been razed to the grown by Vikings I gave them my condolences since I too lost my home to the scurge .
After a few more hours of talking the prison warden came and ordered the men to release me so I could be brought before the commander to be judged , unfortunately there were no lawbringers around so he would take their place .

I was brought before a court of knights and the elite of this city . It began with eye witnesses many who confessed of my innocence to what ever I was accused of . It was over in a matter of time because to much evidence pointed to the son being guilty not me. Unfortunately the son got off with a warning and having to apologize to me and my family . He and his father kept giving me the stink eye , I will have to watch my back is what I thought . Knowing this night has dragged on long enough I returned home where the family lives and was greeted by my sisters along with my little brother and a very upset looking Julia and Alexander. This was going to be a very long talk

End of part
