"Do you, Dias, wish to be a member of the Knight of Order? Do you vow to do what must be done for humanity? Do you vow to become Solan's mark on this world?"
"I do."
"Then take my hand, and allow Solan to create a vow of mastery with you."
And as Dias took the hand of the Knight, their hands had created a blinding light that quickly dissipated.
"Welcome to the Knights of Order."
~~~~~~~~~
3 years later.
"All of you, ARISE!" A lieutenant screamed out as Dias eyes peeled open. Dias, along with the others, immediately got up and prepare themselves for another gruesome training. His eyes, dull yet still harboring a fire. And he had finally learned the ability to use world's pulse. He didn't need to fear losing his eyesight for as long as he can see his enemies, it doesn't matter.
Though tired, Dias did his daily workout routine. It didn't matter to him if his bones would break because someone would heal him anyways. After days, weeks, months of training every single day. He had finally become strong. He felt as if he was ready to become a Lieutenant.
"You're not ready."
As Dias left the Knights hall, he muttered under his breath angrily. "Not ready?!" What was there to not be ready about? He was strong, he was... S-strong... Uh... He's... Yikes. The only thing he has right now is that he's good with the blade?.. Well, it doesn't matter. If the Knights won't let him rank up, he'll find a different class instead.
~~~~~~~~~
The sound of metal clinking, lava being poured and freshly made blades being washed filled Dias' ears. He was at the heart of Oresfall, a town within a mountain that was a border between the icy tundra and the ordinary and glorious land. The town of Oresfall had tons of different types of people who wielded blades. Some Swords, some spears, some greatswords.
Dias heads to a tiny fighting arena known as "The Pit". The Pit's real use is unknown, whether it's used as entertainment for the royals or training for Knights. What everyone knows is that The Pit is where the basic spear trainer subsides.
"All I needed to do was take a good look at you to find out you don't know how to use a spear."
Dias leaves The Pit, spear in hand and nothing in mind. At this point, it'd be better for him to dig through trash piles in hopes to find his Tome due to the (small) amount of experience he has on it. He was just about to leave Oresfall before he notices a chained spear sticking out of an alley.
Paying no attention to it, he walks by the chain. ". . ." The chain grabs hold at Dias' feet and pulls him right into the Alley. With Dias' on the floor, he could barely make out a man with an oddly white outfit and a unique helmet. Without Hesitation, the man plunges his spear into Dias' chest.
Yet his spear is intercepted by a blade coated with flames. "For... The... Prince.." The Chained Soldier(Current title for now) muttered under his breath as he threw the spear at the Knight. The Knight deflects the spear, rushing to the Chained soldier now that his weapon is out of his hands. Except...
The Chained Soldier pulls back the spear and quickly shoots out... Multiple spears of light?... Which pierces through the Knight and almost hits Dias. The Knight backs up until he bumps into Dias. The Knight opens up a portal to his left, grabs Dias and throws him right in there.
Dias watches as he falls through the portal, seeing it close up immediately meant that the Knight had been left behind. He hopes the Knight survives. And... Splat, a small headache. Dias feels the rough floor under him except... It's nothing. He looks around and it's pure... White... What... Is this?...
MORTAL DANGER.
DEATH GNAWS AT YOUR FEET, PULLING YOU CLOSER TO THE END.Dias hears repeating in his head over and over. His body slowly engulfs in white flames as he frantically tries to stop it. The burning sensation can be felt all throughout his body. He runs around, noticing a giant gray orb in the middle of the white room. He makes a run for it, his body straining with each and every step.
He falls to the ground, his knees giving up on him. Dias started crawling, ignoring the pain that he felt until it eventually became unbearable. With one final attempt, he reaches out, the tip of his fingers touching the gray orb and...
~~~~~~~~~
The scorching heat burns through Dias' body and his nape feels like it's on the surface of the sun. He tries to open his eyes but as soon as he does some tiny things fall into his eyes forcing it to fall shut again. "Fuck me."
Dias rubs his eyes and finally opens them properly. He was in a... Desert?... And his body had been healed of all of it's... Burns?... Except he still feels the burning sensation because of the hot sun... And sand.
He gets up as fast as he could and tries to brush the sand off him. He can feel them in his shoes... His hair... His... Everywhere. He's Gotta find a way outta this fast. He looks around and it appears to be... Dry. There's a tower but that's.. it.
He makes his way to the harsh tower, though slowly and painfully. He can feel his scalp and skin burning with each and every single step he takes yet he has no choice. And once he makes his way to the tower, he finds that there's absolutely nothing. He's dead isn't he?..
~~~~~~~~~
A hole in the walls of the desert.
And in that hole, leads to an oasis.
And after that Oasis, leads to the path to Sentinel.
He was back where he began.
