I was a knight of the realm, a protector of the innocent, and a slayer of dragons.
I was Sir Aldric of Elmsworth, and I was about to die.
The dragon’s hot breath washed over me as I cowered behind my shield.
The beast’s eyes glowed with an inner fire as it prepared to strike.
I had no hope of defeating it.
My sword was useless against its armored hide, and my shield would not protect me from its fiery breath.
But I would not run.
I would not abandon the village to this monster’s wrath.
I would stand my ground and fight, even if it meant my death.
The dragon lunged at me, its jaws gaping wide to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth.
I raised my shield to protect myself, but I knew it was useless.
The dragon’s jaws closed around me, and I felt its teeth sink into my flesh.
I screamed in agony as the beast lifted me off the ground and shook me like a dog with a rat.
The dragon’s grip was too strong, and its jaws were too sharp.
I tried to swing my sword at the beast’s head, but it was lodged in the dragon’s armored hide, and I could not free it.
The dragon shook me again, and I felt a searing pain in my side as its claws dug into my flesh.
I bit my lip to keep from crying out, but I could not stop the blood from flowing.
I was going to die, and there was nothing I could do.
I had failed to protect the village, and now I would pay the price.
The dragon lifted me higher, its hot breath scorching my skin.
I could feel the heat of its fire, and I knew it was about to unleash its deadly breath upon the village below.
We would all be consumed in a fiery inferno, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
But then, a blinding light enveloped me, and I felt a strange force pulling me away from the dragon’s grasp.
I screamed in frustration, not wanting to be saved but rather to protect those who needed it.
But the light did not heed my cries, and soon I felt myself being pulled into the sky.
When the light faded, I found myself lying on the ground in a strange place.
It was nothing like the dragon’s lair where I expected to meet my end.
The ground beneath me was hard and smooth, unlike the soil of Elmsworth.
I could smell nothing but smoke and ash, and there were no trees or plants to be seen.
I struggled to my feet, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
My wounds were still bleeding, but they no longer hurt as much as before.
I was alive, but how?
This was no battlefield, no forest, nor any place I had ever known in my twenty years of life.
An inexplicable force had saved me from the dragon’s wrath and transported me to this mysterious place.
For a moment, I wondered if this was some sort of afterlife—a place where souls went after death to await judgment—but I quickly dismissed the idea as ridiculous.
I had never been much of a believer in the afterlife or any sort of divine judgment.
I preferred to think that when I died, I would be remembered by future generations as a great hero.
But that was an idle dream.
The only thing that mattered now was figuring out where I was and how I could get back home.
I turned in a slow circle, taking in my surroundings.
There were no people to be seen, but I could hear distant noises—the clatter of metal on metal, the hum of engines, and the occasional sound of voices raised in anger or fear.
The air smelled of smoke and filth, and the sky was thick with gray clouds.
This place seemed to be in the middle of some sort of disaster.
I wondered if perhaps this was the work of another dragon or some other terrible beast like the one I had just faced.
Feeling a surge of renewed purpose, I set off toward the village in search of answers.
One moment I was battling the dragon with sword, shield, and lance, the next I found myself in an impossible world that defied all logic and reason.
The air was cold, yet the light that bathed the landscape was harsh and unnatural, with no sun visible in the sky.
Tall structures of stone and metal surrounded me, rising high into the heavens, their windows glowing with an otherworldly light.
Above them, I could see nothing but an endless ceiling of gray, as if the sky had been replaced by solid stone.
Looking down, I saw that the ground was hard and smooth, like the cobblestone of a grand castle, but with strange markings and patterns that I could not decipher.
There were no trees or plants to be seen—only more stone, stretching off into the distance like some sort of grand road.
Confusion and fear gripped me as I realized I was no longer in my own time or place.
A force beyond my understanding had plucked me from the brink of death at the dragon’s maw and deposited me here, in this alien world.
For the first time in my life, I felt truly helpless, unsure of what to do next or where to go for help.
“Is there anyone here?”
I called out, my voice echoing off the stone walls.
There was no response.
No one came to my aid, or even to tell me where I was.
Desperate for answers, I began to walk, hoping that somewhere in this strange city I would find someone who could help me.
But as I walked, the enormity of my situation began to sink in.
This was not some temporary dream or hallucination.
I was truly lost, stranded in a place that was not my own, with no way to get home.
My sword and shield were gone, along with my horse and armor.
The only things I had left were the clothes on my back, a few coins in my purse, and my wits.
And as I walked through the empty streets, with no idea of where I was going or what I would find there, it occurred to me that my wits might not be enough.
I am Sir Aldric of Elmsworth, a time-traveling knight of the realm.
I have been called many things throughout history: hero, villain, lover, traitor.
But let us not get ahead of ourselves.
At this point in our story, I am nothing more than an ordinary knight trying to find his way through an extraordinary world.
I have no knowledge of what lies ahead, no idea of the trials that are to come.
I awoke with a pounding head, the fireball still fresh in my memory, and I realized that my hands were tied behind me.
My armor was gone, and I was hanging in a cage over a lake of fire.
The cage swung precariously over the roaring flames, and I could feel the heat on my face as I looked down at the molten lava below.
My boots almost touched the surface of the molten rock, and I recoiled away from the edge.
“Who are you?”
I demanded of the darkness around me.
“Why have you done this?”
The being of darkness hissed.
It had been watching me, it said.
It had followed me through time and space, and it knew me well.
It had watched me face countless enemies on the battlefield, and it had seen my courage and valor.
It knew that I was a knight of the realm, an honorable man who had never shied away from a challenge.
And now it would watch me die.
I could see its face in the dim light, a grotesque mask of twisted features that bore a sinister grin.
“I will not die so easily,” I said through gritted teeth.
I may be unarmed, but I am still a knight of the realm.
The being of darkness laughed at that, a sound like a snake slithering through the night.
“Not die so easily, you say?”
it hissed as it circled around me, its eyes glowing with malevolent light.
“But you are already dead, Sir Aldric of Elmsworth.”
I felt a chill run down my spine at those words, for I knew that they were true.
My armor and sword had been taken from me, my hands were bound, and I was trapped in a cage hanging over a lake of fire.
I was powerless to resist, and I feared that I would soon share the same fate as the villagers I had failed to protect from the dragon's wrath.
“I have been many things,” I said as I met the creature's gaze with defiance, “but I am no coward.”
The being of darkness hissed again, its eyes narrowing as it regarded me with something akin to respect.
“You are braver than most,” it admitted begrudgingly, “but your bravery will do you no good here.”
With that, the being of darkness disappeared, leaving me alone in the darkness once more.
I knew that it was still there, somewhere, watching me and waiting for me to die.
But I would not give it the satisfaction of seeing me break.
I am Sir Aldric of Elmsworth, a knight of the realm, and I will face whatever challenges this twisted fate has in store for me with the same courage and resolve that have carried me through countless battles and perils.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart and focus my thoughts on the task ahead.
There had to be a way out of this predicament, some way that I could escape before it was too late.
As I thought about my options, I could feel the heat of the flames below growing stronger, and I knew that my time was running out.
I opened my eyes and looked around, searching for some sign of hope in the darkness all around me.
