Chapter 16: The Arrangements
The town of Engey. In the room of a certain inn, all the Death Knights were gathered.
The Death Knights are people put together for the sole purpose of fighting darkness. They may be referred to as Knights, but they are not affiliated to any country. They travel around the world annihilating enemies that threaten the peace of mankind.
Their numbers may be low but they are known to be the most elite. They are divided into three classes based on ability. A member of the lowest class is more skilled than a top grade mercenary of the same rank.
A normal human would find themselves over their head if they were to face a vanguard of darkness. The Death Knights are man’s last line of defense against darkness, and it was for this reason they were often depicted as heroes in fairy tales.
The centre of the room. An old man sat down heavily on a comfortable armchair.
Deep wrinkles adorned his face, his hair all white, but his body that had been trained and tempered over the years showed no signs of weakness. If one looked closely, the enormous power possessed by the man, would make one feel peaceful as if they were in a dream.
In reality, that old man was one of the few first class knights, and the leader of the group of knights who had arrived at Engey on the mission.
He boasted ultimate authority within the order and is the cornerstone of light, who has defended humanity against many a disaster through the years.
