Darkness fell over the town of Grad. It had been raining for the past week and still showed no sign of stoping. Everyone was on their way home of to a tavern to have a drink after a hard days of work.
In One Tavern nestled in a corner sat a single person all alone at a Table with a drink and meal infront of him. All around him were others drinking away having a fun time and even a Bard was playing a few songs. The mysterious person just sat and ate his meal the mood of the tavern bright and cheerful was in stark contrast to the sad loneliness emenating from him.
The Bard who had just finished one of his songs bowed to the clapping crowed and started his next Song.
,,My next song is about a Hero you all know, the one that saved thousands from a plague, he who conquered a castle all alone rooting out a evil cult, Slayer of the Lichking to the North and The Black Dragon of the East. The one loved by the Gods and roaming the Land since Centuries searching for death. It is a Song of the Past one not very well known. The beginning of the one Hailed as the Lonely Paladin Elandor van Vareth."
The room had turned silent, gone were the cheerful shouts and people singing. All were listening to the Bard for there was no one who did not know this Legendary figure and wanted to find out more about his exploits. It was also a form of respect to him as his good deeds were countless and no one dared to not listen to such a glorious mans Tale.
The mysterious figure nestled in the back corner listend to the song the Bard started. It was about a town were the Paladin was born, well less a town and more a little village. The Paladine had saved the village at the age of 12 all alone from a goblin hord by awakening to the holy power slumbering in him. From there he went on to train not in a church, but all alone whilst slaying evil monsters in the Forest of mallens, a place Evil monsters inhabited.
He grew stronger until one day he happend to come upon a town and rooted out a evil wizard that was going to use the Town as a sacrifice to summon a demon.
The mysterious figure sighed.
He remember the time that happend. It realy was bad. He had finally found a town after getting lost in a forest full of Monsters and got scammed out of his money. Guilible as he was he had followed a person who offered him a job and a place to sleep. Little did he know that that personwas a evil wizzard who just wanted to drug him and use him to summon a demon. He laced his food with a drug but as he had holy power in him he was not affected. Once he went to sleep the Wizzard wanted to haul him into a cage. Waking up from getting dragged along a floor he punched the wizard unconcious stole his money and reported him for kidnapping him to the local authorities.
Their investigation concluded what the wizzard wanted to do and that was the end.
Yes, he Elandor van Vareth was ignorant of the world and by mistake saved the town.
