Legends of Belariath
Lucas
At age 5, the at that time beginning Knight began his training...Soon, at the age of 7, He had slowly mastered some of the very basics of fighting. Living in Centra, a quiet, semi-peaceful, He trained with his father, then a paladin, to become even better. Age 10, a rogue group of warriors came into the town, burning and pliffing the land. Lucas's father, Sarr Grey, grabbed his sword and went to try and buy time for Lucas and his mother. Himself and his mother had became seperated, she falling to the warrior's eveil deeds....A few days afterword, the warriors retreated to seek destruction on other lands. The sole survivor, Lucas proceeded on to live with his grandparents. They didn't take kindly to his knight-in-training, so instead they put him out in the fields, working like a slave, being treated one as that. Finally when he was 15, he had devised an escape, and actually succeeded. So he proceeded on to wonder the lands till he was about 17, One day, he met up with a group of armored knights escorting a heavily decorated carriage. The nobleman looked out to Lucas for a moment, looking over his body. He nodded and had his guards take the boy with them. They briefly talked about what had happened in the boys past life, and even then the nobleman revealed his name, Lord John Knight. Several years went by, Lucas became one of his top knights, till a plague, known as the Yellow wall, surged through the town of Callisto. Lucas was away on getting the Lord's brand new long sword, till he came back, finding several hundred of the townsfolk dead or barely hanging to life. He thought for a moment of going through the town, but feared he would catch the yellow wall plague. He turned his head and headed out to wonder, soon finding Nanthalion. He followed in his father's footsteps of becoming a paladin and having a blade forged almost like his, a crystal sword........
