The Forlorn:Arian's Curse

We The damned

 We were never the same not after the fall, now we are wandering, forever and always 


The knights marched down the road, their armour dented and their wounds deep. They were defeated. They walked in silence, their weapons had been abandoned and left behind. Velrin took off his helmet and threw it onto the mud."It's over isn't it, we're done, we can't show are faces to the king again" the other knights ignored Velrin and continued to walk."Maybe but we have hope, well not all of us but a few" Rain said as cheerfully as he always had been but he had a tone of sadness in his voice. Rain always had a smile or at least people thought, his black hair covered his eyes and most of his face.


I hide my face to hide my tears but the pain is there you just have to listen and listen, then you'll understand


Velrin shrugged and continued to walk on. Only sixteen of the seven hundred were left but everyone who was there fought bravely."We need to make a choice and now, we either go back to the king or we can go to the mountains" Everyone stood still but no one answered. One of the knights finally piped up."The mountains. It'll be for the best" Eren nodded. They walked past the wall of the kingdom they moved thrived in but know they were nothing just sixteen knights out in the middle of nowhere, waiting for their fate.


Damned and lost, broken and defeated. Nothing. A new hope but that was only in dreams, we still breath, bleed but we're not the same, never the same


They began to walk through the forest, from there they could get to the mountains of the forlorn. They'd fit in there, they were assured of that.

Fall Away

"Please don't forget me, I'll come back I promise" That was a lie and Rain is sorry for that. The knights knew he was. Rain was the youngest of the knights, the weakest, the smallest. He was pathetic but Velrin, Alec, Luca, they all beloved in him when no one else would. Sadly Alec fell in the battle but he fought with might and strength.


"Get back now!" He marched on, slashing at those in front of him."You are going to get yourself killed" The man took a deep breath before running into the hoards of enemy soldiers."If I die I die fighting" 


And he did die. They were haunted by the memory and always will be. They left there footprints in the snow. The knights started to talk to each other to stay in good spirit but it was short lived. The moon was hidden behind clouds but the stars shone brightly in the sky.


It tore us apart, like it was destined to do but it was just mercy,right?


The sat down and shared food and tales from the battle."..and that is why we should all rejoice" Everyone cheered for the first time in many days. They'd have many defeats but none as bad as that. They lost so much and so many people. Luca ran back to the group."We need to start moving there are a massive pack of wolves coming our way and many of them their massive too" Everyone stood up and began to jog brought the forests. The snarls of wolves could be heard not far behind. The wolves were snapping at there legs, tearing of what is left of there armour."We're not going to make it"Eren said, Velrin agreed with him. One of the knights tripped. Rain reached for him, a wolf quickly jumped biting down on Rain's hand. Rain quickly moved his hand and began to ran again."As sad as it may be that knight gave us sometime" Rain said, his tone sad yet still some what joyful. The wolves tore apart the knight and crunched through his bones. By the time they finished the rest of knights were far enough away that the wolves stopped chasing them."That was close" the other knights agreed with Eren and Luca.


 We forgive the wolves but not the way you think

Harsh Past

 They reached the bottom of the mountain."We did it, we goddamn did it" Luca laughed. They all rejoiced. Velrin looked around, being cautious of his surroundings."There's something else here" Velrin's eyes widened as he spoke, everyone began to scout the area as they made their way up the mountain.


Arian king on the mountain, master of the forlorn still rests on the mountain and god help the ones who awaken him, oh good god


They got to the top of the mountain, they found the small abandoned village."This is it, the place for us, a place for the lost" Rain said, Rain shuddered."This is really the end isn't it" The knights took off their armour and put on some winter coats and boots."It can only get better from here" Eren smiled.


I don't want to fall because no one will catch me, why would they? It's just madness here. I can here the knew members of the village, the knew forlorn


The mountain began to shake, the knights eyes darted around the village. A man bearing armour of sliver and gold."Why have you come here! Have you not heard? Do you not know? The gods stay in there places" The knights stared at him."A..Arian but I thought you were only a myth" Rain stared at him. Vilren Stared at Rain,"You know this man?" Rain looked down at his shoes in disappointment."Only in stories that my mother told me"


This is the end isn't it? We are nothing but broken souls


Arian stood in front of the knights."All 15 of you bow down, now!" All of them knelt down on the cold snow. They shook, maybe in fear or was it the cold? Luca looked up,"We should've gone back" Vilren nodded. Arian smirked from under is white mask."You stand up" Eren stood up, shuddering in fear of what was yet to come. Arian unsheathed his sword and swung it at Eren's neck."Eren! No please stop" Eren's decapitated body fell to the ground and sunk into the snow, shortly followed by his head. Everyone was furious with Rain. Tears fell from Rain's eye but no one could see them, no one would know.


 There is no where else to go, it's other, the end of the line
