Tori Pendragon, knight of the west

England

 My grandfather used to tell me stories of his grandfather as we sat by the chinmey of our estate's living room, which had a beautiful sword hanged on its wall, he said his grandfather was a great and noble knight, but not just that, he was a great king who also led a group of knights, loyal friends. I was completely enthralled by the stories of those knights, especially my great great grandfather, I could'nt believe I was related to such a great human being, I decided I wanted to be like him, a great and honorable leader.

We were a small house of noble-hood, mostly aiding in services of those who needed, I was able to convince my father to take me in those aid missions sometimes, right up until that big fire in London, he said that one would be too much for me. The purge started before he got back.

A era of turmoil had started, talks of revolution. The crown was afraid that its power would be usurped by other royal bloodlines. There was a purge of noble-hood in England, my grandfather had always feared this would happen, that was why our estate was built by the sea with a ship docked at the ready in case we needed to escape. 

My grandfather took the sword and along with the combat trained servants who decided in joining us and they guided us to the ship, I finally got a better look at the sword, the feature that was most noticeable is that the blade had broken at some point, but it had been recrafted. 

As we followed them from a secret passage onto the boat, a group of the crown's soldier had just made it there, and my grandfather and his small squad faced them to protect us ant the ships crew as we started to undock the ship. He and his men fought bravely, but he was injured by a bullet from the last soldier remaining, he died with us, before he died he left the family sword to me, Caliburn, and he told me that he had placed books about The knights and their code on the ship, a birthday gift that he was gonna give me, he died believing that I could achieve my dream of leadership.
