Arrival of God's gift.

Small gossip floated around in the very city a day. It was about a knight who were too good to be true. Well-mannered master of thousands weapons whose charismatic appearance should not belong to mortal man, just to higher celestial beings. All this praise and flattery was about one mysterious knight, Sigmund Gottschalt. His existance all along was confirmed by the news and wifes' tales coming from outside of Nharati. Sir Gottschalt, one of the rare Trollslayers alive. A descendant of those knights who once purged the lands.
But, as the man in question arrived to the outskirts of the capitol, men and women who wished to see the very shining knight in flesh were disappointed by the cruelity of facts. While Sigmund did wore his impressive, unique armor dyed in sinister red, it was his head that caught the shocked eyes of peasants and artisans. That webbing of scar tissue covering entire scalp, that ugly wide scar on his face. That look of grudge and bitterness was not what they expected from a knight with such hype surrounding him.

"Mommy, is that a troll?", was the question spoken by a little kid. The mother's answer mixed up with mumbes of the crowd that roused up behind Sigmund as he slowly rode his horse along the road, escorted by armed men. Sigmund's eye glared among the crowd. He hated them and he didn't hide that fact. Scum without refined blood or manners. They should atleast thank him for securing the Great Purge wasn't wasted. They should kneel before him and toss roses, but no. All he got was cold shoulder from the masses before they dissipated. Sigmund could actually hear one saying that he wasn't the knight the masses wanted to see.

Damn right, Sigmund could agree with that. Even though he felt like getting off his horse and deliver knightly beating to get the respect he deserved, he let it slide. For he didn't seek greatness amongst the common folk, no. He gazed at the castle he was approaching and smirked a bit. His prize of fame awaited. His rightful position in Nharati's finest.
