Task Seven: Night is Falling

Night falls in the kingdom of Lemaria. A king rests in his tomb, his spirit passed on to the next life. Up in the towers, a Prince and a Queen stand accused of his murder. Down below, seven knights lie awake, staring up at the darkness that surrounds them. Seven knights, unable to sleep. Seven forced to make impossible choices. Three knights rise from the darkness. Three knights slip out of bed, unable to stand the walls of the castle any longer. Three brave knights, who gave everything they had and more, find themselves unable to continue and head for home.

And their names are:

Lemaria Female: Ren Lancaster

Cadosa Male: Zenith Nadir

Migolith Male: Rhaegar

The city rests. The kingdom weeps. And the four that remain do so in silence, feeling that there is still more for them to accomplish. Still more that will be asked of them. And it is in that state of mind that four knights find themselves at the end of this tale.

Note: Because of a tie in the voting, two knights have been allowed to pass into the finale instead of one. Both Aloïsa Beaumarchais and Alexis Rovel will be competing.
