I stood before a table of knights shortly after taking the Silver Sword, primarily to explain my actions. To take the sword without being deemed worthy was a punishable offense, for which I was being judged.

"I was visted by the spirit of the Supreme Being himself." I said, which drew looks of suspicion from the table of knights.

They stared me down in silence.

"I can vouch for him." Inekwar spoke up, having been lingering in the shadows of the room.

"And how is that?" a knight asked.

"Being the Horseman of Life, I can sense the Supreme Being. My power was endowed to me by His Grace, and I could sense His presence all around Kendrick when he grasped the sword." Inekwar explained.

The knights slowly nodded.

"And what do you intend to do now, Kendrick?" they asked.

I cleared my throat and clenched my fists.

"I intend to wait for the remaining knights from our other chapters to arrive, and then strike down the suited man for good." I said, which made the knights frown again.

"Then you go without our blessing." they said in unison.

Anger began to fill me, but I choked it back and clenched my fists.

"What?" I asked.

"You have disobeyed our laws, and have drawn the Silver Sword without being chosen. Therefore, whatever actions you take now, are done completely without our blessing." one of them called out.

"This is insanity! How am I supposed to stand against the suited man and his legions by myself?" I demanded.

"Not my yourself." Inekwar said, giving me a nod of approval. I felt a smirk creep across my face, but I suppressed it and turned my attention back to the knights and frowned again.

"Then you two are on your own." a knight said.

I saw Kysos look down, before clearing his throat and looking around the table at the other knights. They all gave him their attention.

"I think we're forgetting something." he said.

"And what is that?" one of the knights asked.

"Have we all forgotten the Golden Knight?" Kysos said.

The knights were silent. I myself was confused, so I tried to remember the ancient lore of our Order. It came to me all at once, and I smiled.

The Golden Knight was an ancient warrior from the lore of the Order. It was written shortly after the formation of the Order, when a similar crisis was upon the knights of that time. A warrior who hadn't been chosen to hold the Silver Sword took it up anyways, to confront the powers of Darkness. It is said that the Supreme Being was so impressed by this, that he endowed the warrior with more power than had ever been seen in Dreamland before. The Silver Sword was turned into a golden blade wreathed in flame, and the warrior himself was soon coated in golden armour placed there by the hand of the Supreme Being himself. Since the, only two other knights had been deemed Golden Knights since the first one appeared.

That was over 3000 years ago.

"You don't think..." a knight started, before gaping at me.

"I believe Kendrick is a Golden Knight." Kysos said.

"That is preposterous! The Supreme Being would have said something about it!" one of the knights said.

"The Supreme Being said nothing about the other Golden Knights when they first took up the task." Kysos countered.

The knights refused to believe him. And they still refused to aid me.

Kysos stood with me and Inekwar before the knights.

"Then we're going to go and fight this evil on our own." he said.

Inekwar nodded. I adjusted the Silver Sword, which was now strapped to my back, and glared at the knights.

"I will see to it that this evil is destroyed. And all of you, you with no faith, will be left on the sidelines." I barked before turning and leaving the room, with Kysos and Inekwar following close behind me.

As we left the headquarters and climbed up onto our horses, I looked skyward.

Rage still filled me, but I realized why now I had been chosen to hold the blade. The Supreme Being chose me because I didn't want revenge. I wanted justice. It wasn't hatred of the enemy, it was love of my family. I didn't want to destroy, I wanted to fight the powers of Darkness.

I smirked, and looked ahead, knowing exactly what I faced, I would face on my own.
