Gawain is a proud, young knight. He follows orders without problems and walks the same path as his brothers, chasing their backs. There was never any other path for Gawain and he readily accepts all of his knightly duties. The next battle he needs to face has a bit more stakes. Its positive outcome could mean the end of war. For the first time, Gawain doubted his orders but did everything he could to protect everyone.
To win this battle sacrifices will be absolutely necessary. How will Gawain react to a battle that isn't fought by proper knightly procedure?
This is a short backstory for Gawain, a character featured in my and delirijumbaklave's Visual Novel:
