A hot afternoon settled into the forests of Tanglewood as the season of Sol was just beginning. The group of revelers and royals had gathered for their formal affairs of state.
Though the fare would be modest, as it was a barbarian king stepping down for a dwarven pirate to ascend, not a sophisticated lot to be sure. Being as such, the royals served up boiled fowl and vegetables with bread & fruit on the side. Not a terrible repast, but nothing near as tasty as the seared meat from feasts gone by.

As he sat quietly, picking at the gray bird-flesh that sat lifeless in his wooden bowl, the Dark Knight thought of the task set before him on this night…

“Not much for a last meal.” He said under his breath.

Word had been given.
The deed was to be done.
The was no choice.
It would be tonight.

Delphos looked deep into the eyes across the table…
Eyes that once belonged to a young man, a novice, a squire.
That person, whomever he was then, whatever he had done before…
All were gone and he was no more.
Only shadows lingered to remind them both of that person.
Tonight, those shadows would be destroyed…

“You can no longer serve as my squire…” he spoke in a hushed voice.
The squire replied without hesitation, “I understand, Sir.”

In a twinkling of an eye, it was done.
The blade thrust deep into his chest the body of the squire lie dead at the feet of the Anti-Paladin. His dark aura glowing against the dim light of the fading sun, Delphos placed his hand upon the wound and began his chant with an ancient phrase only whispered by the most evil of Knights…
“Rise and fight again…”
The whisper grows slightly more audible.
“Rise and fight again…”
The dark aura grows blacker still and begins to envelop the body at his feet.
And the chant continues even louder.
“Rise and Fight Again…!”
“Rise and Fight Again…!!”
Finally the Dark Knight yells with all his might…
“RISE AND FIGHT AGAIN…!!!!!”

Sutra’s body begins to shake and spasm and then slowly rises from the ground to his knees and looks up once again into the eyes of Darkness itself.

The sword touches one shoulder and Delphos begins…
“In the name of Sir Aramithiris…” he voice is clear and loud.
The blade touches the other shoulder…
“In the name of Sir M’Deth…”
The Dark Knight places the sword upon Sutra’s shoulder a final time…
“And in the name of Sir Hellspawn, I knight thee…Sir Sutra!”
Delphos steps back from the kneeling man…
“Arise, Sir Sutra…!!!” his voice booms over the crowd and into the very forest itself.

“Knight of the Flame…!!!”
