Echoes from the past part1a

It balmy early summer day inthe month of thunder watching from the other side of the wooden fence into the training park at the dragon keep castle was elegant young women in her early twenties with shoulder length brown hair and feline shaped dark brown eyes. She stood 5ft 10in with sun-browned curvaceous body that was encased in green below knee linen dress; a pair of well-made white grecian sandals was on her bare feet, why an engraved silver ankle was around her right ankle. Thid young woman is Sylvie Lenoir a female zaria or mink lycanthropy mage from town of dragon keep in the barony of dragon keep.

She was watching a handsome young man in his early twenties with short mocha colored hair and lentil shaped cobalt blue eyes. He stood 6ft 1in with sun-browned athetic body that was encased in olive green knee-length and pants. A green hooded cloak hung over the back of nearby wooden fence surrounding the training park, a pair of brown leather boots was on his feet, why engraved bracelet was around his wrist coved by leather glove. In his nonweapon hand was small wooden shield, why in his weapon hand was flat wooden blade in the place of his iron sword. This young man is Keith sterling a male lupine or wolf lycanthropy knight from the town of dragon keep in barony of dragon keep.

"Now come on Keith....I thought you were better than that; if you can't defeat that knight in practice dual.....Maybe I should look for new partner" Sylvie teasing as the other lycanthropy knight start to talk among themselves at the thought of become the partner of this zaria lycanthropy, "hey chaps don't let her beauty fool you...It take special knight to handle Zaria lycanthropy." Keith comment back, before sylvie could respond her eyes gaze over and she collapse to the grass unconscious.

In her unconsciousness a vision start to form in her subconscious the vision of long forgotten battle field as the image become clearer the ground around savanna begin to twist and deform as if someone or something was trying to break free from it stone prison, the very trees begin to shudder as the ground shakes. Soon a dark mist envelope the savanna as maniacal laugher echo from every corner of the battlefield. Suddenly a black gauntlet burst from the ground follow by a second one.

"no!" Sylvie cries out in voice raw with terror as she finds herself sit up in bed in a bed chamber drench with cold sweat.

She quickly takes stock of her surrounfing sitting on stool sharpering his wolf knight long sword was Keith, Sylvie blink with surprise as he was encased in his lupine's light-weight field plate armor.

"I see you are awake Sylvie." Keith edged with tension as he stops sharpening his blade, "How long have I been out?" Sylvie inquiry, "A week" keith answers, "A week!" sylvie reel with astonishment, "Then I must speak to the Baroness right away." Sylvie voice breaks, "About the dead." Keith face pales as sylvie nods her head, "how do you know?" Sylvie breath catches in her throat," the attacks start about two days ago, so far the dragon's keep army had held the dead army back, but we have lost many brave wolf knight of the realms in skirmish with heavy infantry...I am the last wolf knight of the realm and I am dead." keith said as he clamp his eyes shut and collapse to the ground.

"keith!" sylvie shriek as her eyes fly open to clear blue sky, "Sylvie calm down let me finish cooling you off."  Keith calmly," Keith there no time....where is baroness at this time?" Sylvie inquiry as she push the cloth keith was hold away and sit up," at this time possibly in her chamber....why?" Keith answer as only wolf knight of the realm that the baroness would allow to know where she is at anytime, "I must speak to her away." Sylvie voice tight as she quickly get to her feet.
