A Light in the Dark

His Story

I am a Templar of the Templar Army
I was born in a catholic church and raised as a monk i don't know who my parents are because my mother died during childbirth and my father died during the plague before i was born
All I know is the ways of the monks and the ways of a Templar Knight.

I was raised teach God's ways and to Fight
I wasn't great at teaching but fighting now there was something I was good at
I was trained by a Templar named Martin.

"Keep your blade up!" Martin yelled

"Yes master!" I replied

"Your sword is your Allie never lose it, Trust in it as you do in God" Martin said,

"Yes Master" I replied again

Martin at first tried to train me using a shield and a sword but I could never get it

"Use your shield!" Martin yelled as he swung his sword at me.

"Yes master" I replied
I held my shield up but it didn't help
I could never hold a shield
I was always loose my balance or hold the shield wrong
And as Martin hit the shield I either fell or my arm would break

Until Martin had enough and he went all out
"Fight!!' he yelled and swung at me with all his got, I went to block it with my sword but swung so hard that it broke the blade.
"FIGHT!!" He yelled again

"But master I have no sword!" I Yelled to him as I dodged the sword that was coming for me

"Then find one!" He yelled back

I ran to the armory and pick up the first sword I saw which was a claymore
I held it up to catch the swinging death blade coming at I held it in the middle of blade and on the handle as it stopped the swinging death trap I began to Fight with everything I got,
For several hours Martin and I fought until finally the both of us fell to the ground in exhaustion

"Well done" Martin said to me as he stood up and walk in to the cafeteria

I smiled as he walk away and then i fell on to my back breathing heavily out of exhaustion as i laid there I said
"Thank you God for giving me strength"

I stood up and pick up the glaymore then fallowed my master in to the cafeteria

As I walked through doors a man pushed passed me and run up to the head master Mathias.
I thought nothing of it and continued
To find my master,
didn't take long to find him
I sat down acrossed from him
As I sat down he slid a plate of food to me.
As I begin to eat the head Master yelled
"Quiet the king of France has ordered that we go to journalism and help the Jews fight off the Muslims, we ship off tomorrow get your stuff ready and pray."

I looked at my Master with excitement
But my master looked worried
"Something wrong master?" I asked,
"Yeah everything is fine" he replied
As he stood up quick and left.

I sat their as I watched him get up and away the table and not thinking anything of it I went back to eating and finished my meal and went to bed

~In Martin's room~

As I entered my room I sighed with relief and started taking off my armor
And lad in my bed and tried to get some sleep but I was so excited about the battle my first battle ever I tossed and turned all night then finally after 5 hours I was able to get some sleep

It didn't take long for morning to come
I was awoken by my master

"Martin Get up!"

I shot right up and rushed to get dressed

"Meet me out in the court yard"
Master said, and he left the room

I replied "yes master" and followed after him.
I ran as fast as I could,
I was so excited for today we left for Jerusalem but my master had other plans I got to the court yard
To see everyone getting ready
Then I saw my master standing in the middle of the court yard I ran to him and said, "should I fetch the horses master?"

"No we train"  he replied pulling out his sword and into a fighting stance
And charged me

With shock and confusion I pulled my sword off my back and quickly block the swinging death blade.

As the blades connected I yelled to him

"Master we need to get ready!"

"You are not yet ready for battle!!" He yelled back to me with anger in his voice
As he swung again with more force
And almost nocking me to the ground with his blow

"Master please we need to get ready!"
I yelled

"Prove to me that you are ready" he replied, as he kick me to the chest
And pushing my back

"How?!?!" I said trying to catch my breath,

"Stick me!!! then only then we can leave" he replied as he ran to me and jumped at me we his sword swinging down at me
I quickly block it but the force of his swing nocked me down to one nee
The whole Templar force was watching us as we fought for hours
Of me trying to land a hit to my master

He swung down at me again as he yelled "HIT ME!!!!!"

I blocked it and then instead off falling to my nees I twisted my body
Pushing my masters sword away from me and used the hilt of my sword and struck him with it
He fell to the ground

I stood there in shock and said "I hit him I finally hit him"

Master stood up looked at me and said
"Fetch the horses...you are ready"

With excitement I ran and grab the horses

And met him with the biggest grin on my face we mounted are horses and left for Jerusalem.
