A Knight Forgotten
The world had already burned by the time he rose again.
A skeleton clad in tarnished armor and royal shreds of cloth climbed through desolate canyons. The sky, once blue, now hung with a star that pulsed like a wound in the heavens.
He remembered nothing—not even his name. Only the ache of a broken vow. A sword at his side, rusted but familiar. A promise in his chest, buried deep.
The Cursed Star
One night, that cursed star returned—bright, cold, eternal. Beneath its glare, he discovered an ancient temple swallowed by time.
Touching its stones, echoes of a life long lost flooded his mind: blood-soaked betrayal, a woman with eyes like dusk, and a dagger in his back—his own dagger.
The pain of that memory fractured his bones anew. He screamed into the emptiness, a cry with no breath.
The Flame That Spoke
She came to him—not alive, but burning.
A spirit woven from violet light. Her voice was memory, pain, and beauty entwined.
"You made a vow," she said. "Not even death breaks such oaths."She placed her flame into his chest. For the first time in centuries, something stirred. Not life. Purpose.
Reclaiming the Vow
She revealed the truth. The star was not a guide, but a prison—a seal forged by betrayal. Warriors like him, erased from history, were chained to its light.
To break free, he must complete his vow. Not of vengeance—but of remembrance.
He wandered again. But now, not as a husk—but a herald.
The Awakening
Through ruined cities and silent forests, he whispered lost truths.
Where lies had taken root, he planted memory.
With every truth unearthed, the cursed star pulsed with rage.
It begged him to burn the world. To finish what death began.
But he had already died with hate. He would rise with hope.
The Final Ascent
Beneath the star, now pulsing with terrible fury, he climbed the final peak.
Bones cracking, cloak billowing with spectral fire, he reached out to the heavens.
The star shattered—silently, gently.
And as dawn bled over the mountains, the knight faded.
His armor fell, empty. His soul, reborn, walked free beyond the veil.
