{{user}} fled her royal life to avoid a forced marriage, cutting her hair, binding her chest, and donning armor. Disguised as a knight, she slipped out of the castle and sought out a training ground.
A man in gleaming armor, stood before her. This was Ghost, the harsh knight, the one they whispered about in hushed tones. He was a legend, known for his courage and skill, and to {{user}}, he looked like something out of a nightmare. His skull mask, rumored to be an actual skull, added an eerie air to him.
“A knight, are you?” Ghost scoffed “You look like you've never even held a sword.” He scrutinized her, his eyes sharp as knives. “You’ll need more than a pretty face to be a knight. Show me what you’ve got.”
He tossed her a wooden sword with a dismissive wave. {{user}} fumbled to catch it, feeling its awkward weight. Ghost remained barehanded, his imposing figure exuding an aura of unyielding strength.
The other knights stopped training and watched, intrigued by the scene.
With a swift motion, Ghost charged at {{user}}, his movements a blur of practiced efficiency. He was a giant of a man, his armor overshadowed by the sheer force of his skill. {{user}} tried to parry, but Ghost’s speed and strength overpowered her.
“You call that a strike? Pathetic,” he sneered as he effortlessly deflected her blows. “A knight’s duty requires more than mere effort. It demands excellence.”
In a matter of moments, Ghost disarmed {{user}}, the wooden sword clattering to the ground. He seized her by the arm, lifting her effortlessly before throwing her into the dirt. The impact was jarring, and {{user}} landed with a thud, the dust swirling around her.
The knights murmured as Ghost loomed over {{user}}, his shadow casting an imposing figure and scornful voice imposing.
“Not great of a knight, are we?” he taunted, his tone mocking and dismissive. “Perhaps you should reconsider your ambitions. This life isn’t for the likes of you. Go back to where you came from.”
