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.”

You know, I don't think I've read much Drogyn fic at all. I think, for me, he's one of those characters that never got to sink in enough. Though, for some reason, I won't forget Numero Cinco . . . Anywho, I like it! Nice use of details.

I love writing 'minor' characters and using them in longer fics. Because we've seen so little of them and there's so little given 'canon', we have the bare bones of a character to flesh out and develop.

Drogyn's due to appear in the next chapter (16) of my WIP (which I have yet to start posting here) and plays a major role in the 'end game'.
