As the sun rose over the Kingdom Gem Castle, casting a golden glow upon the city, I stood before the grand gates, my heart pounding with anticipation. Today was the day I would officially become a knight, a day I had dreamed of since I was a young boy. I adjusted the straps of my heavy armor, feeling the weight of responsibility settle upon my shoulders.

My name is Cyran, a humble knight with a greatsword. Unlike the tall and handsome knights of bedtime stories, I was short in stature, but my determination and unwavering will made up for what I lacked in physical appearance. I had spent years training, honing my skills with the greatsword, and learning the code of chivalry that every knight must uphold.

As I entered the grand hall of the castle, I was greeted by the sound of trumpets and the applause of the gathered crowd. The king himself stood at the center, his regal presence commanding respect from all. He motioned for me to approach, and I stepped forward, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Today, we honor a young man who has proven himself worthy of the title of knight," the king announced, his voice echoing through the hall. "Cyran, step forward and kneel."

I knelt before the king, feeling a mixture of pride and humility. The king drew his sword and tapped each of my shoulders, a symbol of my new status. "Rise, Sir Cyran," he said, his voice filled with authority. "May you serve this kingdom with honor and protect its people with your life."

I stood, my heart swelling with gratitude. The crowd erupted into applause, and I couldn't help but smile. I had worked hard for this moment, and now it was time to prove myself on the battlefield.
