The Legend of a Sir Knight: Epic Medievil Tale of Sir Daniel Fortesque

by HD

 

 

A MEDIEVIL STORY

In the MediEvil Ages of the world in parts unknown of Europe most possibly in modern-day England itself, there existed a kingdom called Gallowmere, a fertile & beautiful land abided by simple and nice people ruled over by a kind and extremely good king named Peregrin.

 

It was in this beautiful Medievil kingdom the legend of Sir Daniel Fortesque began. Daniel Fortesque a young and talented knight in the court of King Peregrin was considered a mighty hero of the kingdom, a slayer of demons and dragons and a man with the strength & valor of an army of thousand men, Dan got it all the looks, the face, the physique and the charms but was he in reality a skilled and mighty a hero as believed to be . . .

 

Fake Actors or Real Heroes

 

The reality turned out to be different as if it has been molded purposefully to achieve fame, glory & power. Daniel Fortesque in fact during his days as King’s right hand man and military leader was just a great talker, storyteller and an actor just like any other modern-day popular Hollywood actor or actress or even a WWE wrestler whose fame is hollow and false by all means of natural laws and truth. The  actors never do anything heroic in reality but only acts,  portrays and entertains people just like a joker in a king’s court or clowns at a circus or a trickster at a magic show. Such hollow figures are moronically idolized by commoners and public to levels of hero or even deity ridiculously, without knowing or realizing the real person behind the veil of false fame be that person disgusting or evil, cruel or sadistic, lame or pathetic. Such is the magic of charm perhaps a great deception.

 

 

 

 

Similarly Dan’s case was alike, with his heroic tales of glory he charmed the simple people of Gallowmere and even the King into believing in something that he was not. But Daniel Fortesque was not a bad man at all but rather cowardly goof and a charismatic actor. But time now came in which his great reputation would be tested as the peace of Gallowmere was gravely threatened by a devious sorcerer Zarok who was exiled by the King Peregrin and disliked by many nobles including Daniel Fortesque.

 

 

Daniel Fortesque: A Real Hero or a Phoney

 

The so called mighty hero Daniel Fortesque led the king’s militia into battle against the hordes of demons, embarrassingly and most inevitably Fortesque fell down in just the first charge of knights against the demons, without even engaging in actual combat, all his charms and acts were worthless in the practical battlefield which requires only real heroes and courage. But in the ranks of King Peregrin there were men of courage and strength who were steadfast against the dark army of Zarok and after an intense battle, eliminated all the demons and defeated the evil Zarok. The victory was not celebrated in Gallowmere as the losses were tremendous, the fraud of Fortesque was exposed to the king Peregrin, but being a nice king that he was and a true friend, he hid the failure of Fortesque from the people instead made him a legendary heroic martyr.

 

 

 

  

In the Afterlife Dan's spirit was denied access in the Hall of Heroes, the eternal abode of the greatest of the heroes who performed valiant and most noblest of deeds during their lifetime. Dan's false fame was only a secret to the mortal world, he was ridiculed, denied and rejected by all  other great legendary heroes. Now forever cursed in the afterlife due to his falsity in the mortal world, Daniel Fortesque laid to rest not in peace with all the shame and embarrassment until came a fateful day, the day that changed everything . . .

But the force of good works in the most strangest of ways, the magic of Zarok also brought back to life Daniel Fortesque, as a reanimated skeleton warrior. Thus fate being generous granted Daniel Fortesque another chance to redeem himself and have a shot at glory, not such a chance is granted to any other so easily.
