Over a once beautiful flat plane there is a battle raging on. Two armies clashing each other with several banners put up between them. Some depicting the engravings of a noble house or the holy symbol of a god. On the other side there are banners risen high with diabolical symbols on them. Carried by devilkin, goblins, orcs and the like. Some humans are between them too. They all mostly wear hide armor and are equipped with spears which they use to stop the cavalry charge opposing them. They clash , heads and arms go flying. Blood splattering everwhere but the line doesn't fall. The morale is still high even after suffering this many losses. The cavalry charge being sucessful they then retreat to let their army catch up and finish this battle. Or so they think.
The other army is led by a 7 foot tall human looking creature with white wings. He carries a greatsword which is eminating a golden divine aura. This army consists of elves, dwarfes , gnomes and humans all working together to banish this evil from their home. Their armor shining brightly as if It was recently polished to perfection. They keep marching on. In the vicinity the angel is giving orders ,to a selected group of six, in his celestial language so no one but them could understand. They split from the army in the confusion of everyone.
The second clash. This time the frontlines clash. The back and forth is harsh and there is heavy casualties on both sides. Blood and gore fill the earth. Some slip on the remains of the fallen which their enemy takes advantage off and rams their weapon in the throat of the poor fellow. The angel swings his greatsword felling multiple enemies in his way. Never getting even a scratch on him. When suddenly a flaming ball shoots towards him and staggers him. He goes to his knees not getting any grip on the ground to stop him from sliding back from the impact. The leader of the devil army, a ten foot tall monster of a devil. Spikes growing from his back, leathery wings sprouting out of his should blades. Skin as red as the fireball the he shot at the angel. He wears black plate armor which is covered in pentagrams and other devil worshipping symbols. He carries a longsword and a whip. His face is that of a bull. With yellow fiery eyes he looks over to the angel before snorting and lashing out with his whip.
Their battle went on for a few minutes. The devil is gaining more and more the upperhand with the angel even more on the backfoot. He keeps trying to shield others from the blasts which eminate from the whip of this devil. When he again tried to save his men from one of the blast, thats when the devil managed to wring the whip around the angels neck. He twisted hard and put the angel under his feet. With no gloating he rose his monstrous longsword and went in for the killing blow. He impaled the angel inbetween of his collarbone and twisted again cleaving the angel wide open. His golden blood gushed out on the battlefield. The angels army lost their morale and were on the brink of defeat. The devil gave orders to finish them and started desecrating the angels body. He didn't pay attention anymore. Thats when the trap sprung. A group of six sprung out of a blue rip in the fabric of space. A teleportation spell cast behind the devil. The group of six began fighting the weakened devil and he was shortly defeated by them. He got impaled by a man with plate armor, a shield and a big flaming longsword. The same way he dispatched the devil earlier. The fire in his eyes were extingushed.
The angels army regained their lost morale and began handidly beating their opponents back. With the human man now leading the charge. They won the battle and the war. After the war this story was told many times. Some details were changed buts It's always the same in the end. The human that killed the devil became an icon for everyone. He was titled to be the first paladin.
Hi guys and gals this year I started this idea of mine that hanged in my head for a long time. As a new years resolution I took It upon me to improve my written english. How did I think to do It , you may ask. Why not start with a web novel centered around a character that I played for years in a TTRP with friends? Current plan is to release 4-6 episodes a week with atleast 1000 words in them. I try my best to catch any mistakes in my grammar but I want to be sure that I am in here for the long run. I hope you will enjoy Thorry's journey.
Thorry is a small boy from a town called Silvertree. An encounter with the dragonborn Paladin Trystan in a goblin attack changes Thorry's fate. He undergoes a training regiment from this paladin. Watch as Thorry tries to make something of himself in this world of divine and arcane magic
