Book content
There's truly no one more foolhardy than a landless knight! I had plenty of opportunities to prove this during my long and not particularly pious life.
When I was barely twenty, my father unexpectedly passed away. As his youngest son, I was left with nothing. Too wayward to serve under another lord and too hot-headed to become a priest or a templar, I ended up spending my days carousing. That's how I met Sir Dennor, a bastard son of a certain nobleman, whose name I'd rather not mention out of prudence.
We became fast friends. One day, we were having a drink together. I finally decided to ask why he carried a commoner's axe instead of a noble sword, a weapon that befits a man of his high birth. He laughed at the question and told me that he actually grew so skillful with it that he could easily take on any pompous fencer who would dare challenge him. I found the claim unlikely, but before we could begin the argument in earnest, the tavern's door swung open, and a band of angry-looking armed fellows barged in. Their leader, standing a good six and a half feet tall, eyed the quiet tavern hall with a ferocious expression, as if searching for someone. When his gaze settled on Sir Dennor, he smirked victoriously, dropped a few profanities, and drew his sword.
Sir Dennor reacted immediately, I suppose he anticipated this predicament. He grabbed the axe lying nearby and charged at the sneering leader... The uninvited guest attempted to deflect the strike, but it was all for nothing - Sir Dennor nimbly evaded the leader's swing, pushed him off balance, and cleaved his skull in two with a single deft blow. For a split moment there was ringing silence - the dead man's followers were trying to make sense of what had just transpired. But eventually they gathered their wits, yelled out in fury, and ran towards us. I cursed under my breath, flipped the table to hold off their advance, and rushed to help Dennor - the time had come to prove my friendship...
