A Knight's Tale

In the makeshift chapel hidden in the narrow city back street, a lone knight keeps vigil on this, the eve of his calling. He kneels, broadsword clasped between his hands, his head bowed.

“If this be my destiny, grant me a sign.” He raises his eyes to the niche containing a plaster angel, lays the blade across his palms and offers it in service to the unseen entity ever present in this sacred place.

The door behind him swings open; a voice, carried on the wind, speaks.

“Behold Drogyn, Demonbane Truthsayer, I name thee 'Keeper of the Deeper Well' hereafter.”

Yes, I can see it happening like that. Good job.

Thank you. I dithered about the time setting but decided it had to be modern to fit the canon.

That's one of the reasons I felt the details were so well chosen. The drabble is so atmospheric but we are getting information that just flows with the story.
