    The great Legends passed down by our ancestors for centuries tell of the eternal battle between good and evil. A battle fought by a courageous hero, a wise princess, and a powerful king.


    The battle transcends time and spans across many worlds. The fame of this great battle has been immortalized by songs and legends, stories of each young hero's journey.


    But there are heroes who have been forgotten to time, legends of fearlessness and ferocity, love and passion, hatred and anger, knights and warriors, heroes and villains, all untold.


    Today we explore just one of these legends...

    My form:


    Name:
    Kestral
    Age:
    18
    Gender:
    Male
    Eagus is Kronk.
    Appearance:
    Kestral has a fairly tall stature with short dark brown hair and light hazel eyes. He keeps himself in a high level of fitness, but prefers intelligence and skill over strenght when solving a problem and in combat. As a new knight of Skyloft, he wears a dark red tunic and cap, his graduating class' issued uniform, light tan slacks, and standard leather boots. In addition to his uniform, Kestral wears a light chainmail vest beneath his tunic and the foreplate of a steel helmet atop his pointed cloth cap, as well as long leather gloves with small metal plates on the back of the hand and the forearm. When not in uniform, he often wears his favorite sleeveless blue-grey tunic and tan slacks.
    Occupation:
    Knight of Skyloft. Mainly patrols at night but also works every other position among the knights.
    Personality:
    Kestral is a loyal knight and a skilled swordsman. He has a passion for literature, music, and the beauty of nature. He often patrols the night skies with his dark-blue Loftwing, under the light of the moon and stars. He is rarely seen without his sword or dagger. He seeks to improve himself in everything he does and help those arpund him, just as he was taught in his early days at the Academy.
    History:
    Kestral's father was a knight and his mother is a seamstress. After watching his father spar with a friend, he asked him to teach him swordplay, and his father comsemted with a smile. He was already quite skilled when he enrolled in the Knight Academy, two years later, and excelled in his academics. His father was killed in an airborne skirmish with a rogue knight the day before Kestral was to compete in the ceremony to advance to the senior class. He channeled his grief and anger into his flying and won the competition, though his father's death weighs heavily on him each day.
    Dream:
    Kestral works toward making a difference in Skyloft, but sevretly wants to be part of something bigger.
    Family:
    His older brother a merchant and craftsman who travels with a childhood friend named Beedle, and his mother still works as a seamstress.
    Other: His shield bears his family crest: Two crossed swords flanked by columns of fire shaped like feathers.

    OOC: It doesn't look like anyone else is going to join for a bit, so I suppose this is an appropriate time to begin. Be aware, I have just slightly modified my form. All I did was bump him up a year and make him a newly inducted knight


    IC: Kestral paid for the spiced pumpkin soup and walked out of the Lumpy Pumpkin with a warm jar of the famous soup lashed to his belt. He stopped to smell the crisp, night air, taking a long, deep breath and exhaling slowly, before he sprinted to the diving platform and leaped off.


    The cold wind nipped at his face as the young knight allowed himself to freefall, his arms and legs spread apart to slow his descent somewhat. He put two fingers to his mouth and whistled sharply as the Cloud Barrier grew closer.


    A moment later, a large, blue-grey bird swept beneath him with blinding speed, catching him on its back. Kestral laughed and gripped the reigns of his Loftwing's saddle. The two ascended to the second layer of clouds and glided among them.


    "Man, I love my job." Kestral laughed again as he leaned back and folded hisnhnds behind his head. He gazed up at the shining full moon and the brilliant stars in the sky, letting his loftwing glide lazily in the night.


    "Can you believe it's been two months already?" He asked his long-time partner and have it a pat on the neck after sitting up. The bird cooed in response and continued to glide. Not a monster was in sight, and the small birds of the night chirped their secret songs.

    Merlin was no where to be found, the house her eldest brother had bought was completely empty of all traces of life. The Skyliftian appeared to be missing, if it wasn't for the note pinned to the door with a small knife. It read 'Be back soon. Don't follow me'. Why she didn't want to be followed, Merlin had left to 'visit' her parents old home.
    Trudging through the night, the Skyloftian girl kept her head low, a mixture of sadness and rage decorating her features. When she had reached the home, the boards had begun to rot, holes littered the roof, and some of the steps were missing. "It's been that long?" Meelin sighed, a bit upset, but that was soon replaced by rage. "I will find that person to took your life away," she whispered, clenching her hand into a fist, "find them and make them pay!"
    Standing idly for a few long moments, the Skyloftian jumped when someone shouted in the distance, and ran off. They probably thought she was trespassing, or something like that. Growling under her breath, she ceased running, when she felt like she was well away from whoever shouted.
    With another sigh, the girl crossed her arms, sat on the ground, and looked up at the sky. Her father should would have seen her take off the first time, if it wasn't for that stupid murder who took his and her mothers life away. She growled again. A long, rage-filled growl.
    Her father had to stay home most of the time, for he was crippled. Who was sick enough to kill a crippled man? She didn't know. However, all Merlin did know was she couldn't shake off the feeling someone had been following her.[/fancypost]

    "Hey Kes! Eagus said to swap stations for the night. He says I need to get to know this area better." Finch, the most studious member of Kestral's class, announced as he arrived on his white loftwing.


    "Really now? Alright. You've got West Skyloft, right?" Kestral questioned.


    "Yeah! I saw a skytail flying around one of the rocks over there the other night, so be careful." The scrawny knight warned.


    "Sure. Thanks for the heads up." Kestral waved and kicked his Loftwing's sides lightly. The bird gave a mighty flap of its wings and surged into the night.


    It was a farily long flight to Finch's patrol route, but Kestral made it there after several minutes of flying, taking advantage of the few boost stones scattered along the way.


    He swooped down low over the cluster of islands bound together by ropes and wooden bridges that made up West Skyloft. It wasn't a very large cluster, but there was enough room for several houses, a windmill, and a stable.


    The knight circled the cluster several times before he dove under it to check out the handful of smaller islands tethered to it for below. These islands held some of the older or more rundown houses of the cluster. He heard tell of a murder in one of them, too.

    Merlin then noticed what looked like a silhouette of something flying, and when she went to get a closer look, someone put a hand on her shoulder. Suppressing a jolt of surprise, she tensed up, and turned to fav the person. She had never seen them before, but when a gleaming object was pulled out of their pocket, she knew their plans. The skyloftian girl then jumped up, making them stumble backwards, and ran off in the other direction.
    She could tell they were following her, the sound of their footsteps were so loud anyone in the sky could probably hear them! With a growl, she took many sharp turns, occasionally ran around them and continued in the other direction, but they seemed to be un-phased by this.
    Growling again, there was one other thing Meelin thought of, and that was to fight. She always carried two daggers on her, their hilts attacked to her belt. Pulling them out, she slipped into her stance, waiting for them to approach. They were a good few meters away, but catching up quckly.
    When he got close enough to see, Merlin pointed out several things, such as his height, size, and speed. He was pretty tall, well-built, and really fast. She was rather scrawny, shorter than him, but was way faster. Eyebrows furrowed, she waited to strike, or dodge their attack.[/fancypost]

    OOC: They look identical!!!!


    IC: Kestral pulled on the reigns to slow his Loftwing whe he spotted two figures. A small object flashed in the moonlight. One of the figures, this one significantly smaller than the other, darted back and began to run. The other followed, his heavu footsteps sounding clear even to the watchful knight.


    No one playfully runs like that. Kestral kicked his Loftwing and ascended, trying to spot the first figure while keeping track of the other. He found the first one standing still, facing the other as he came into view. The object glinted again, and Kestral caught a good look at its shape.


    The knight snarled, he could recognize a dagger anywhere.


    "Yah!" He kicked his mounted again and soared around the scene once. He doused the candle on his helmet lamp and flew a good distance away before making a tight U-turn and swooping back fast and low.


    He shouted as he leaped from the back of his Loftwing, his arms outstretched before him and a scowl on his face.


    He crashed into the armed figure full-force and the two rolled several feet, the man tossing Kestral off in the process, before they caught themselves and rose.


    The man was considerably taller than Kestral, and much more muscular. He growled and snatched his long knife off the ground.


    "Back off!" The man shouted.


    "Drop the weapon! Now!" Kestral ordered, drawing his sword. His Loftwing circled overhead, shining the light mounted on its own special helmet down on the scene.

    Merlin certainly didn't expect what happened to actully happen, and released a breath she dodnt know she had. Still keeping her daggers unsheathed, her grip tightened a bit, but stood still. If she or the other skyloftian were attacked, she would help. Sucking in her bottom lip, she studied the taller mans movements, waiting for any sort of aggressive actions, stabbing or such. She had decided not to call upon her Loftwing, just in case for some miraculous reason he knew how to use one, since in-flight combat was not her best strong-suit.
    Groaning slightly, she bit into her bottom lip, eyebrows furrowed. If this was the same skyloftian that killed her parents, she would make him pay. Any way necessary. Groaning turning into growling, she prepared for any sort of attack from either side, adjusting her stance every few seconds. [/fancypost]

    "This doesn't concern you, boy." The man growled in annoyance. He held his blade in front of him, his eyes not on Kestral's sword, but on the knighy's feet. Just that told Kestral that he was dealing with an experienced fighter


    "You're dead wrong about that. As a knight of Skyloft, I order you to drop your weapon and cease hostilities inmediately!" Kestral countered without hesitation or faltering.


    "Put the sword away, kid. You'll only end up hurting yourself," The man waved his free hand in the girl's direction, "or someone else." A wicked smile dawned on his face and he have a slow, menacing chuckle.


    "Last chance. Drop the knife. Or I'll make you drop it." Kestral warned one final time, his voice cool and collected as he calmed himself to focus on the man. If it had been up to him, he'd have gone at the man immediately, but he had to obey the Knight's Code, and that included obeying the rules set fprth by his superiors.


    "A pitty." The man lurched forward with alarming speed, slashing and thrusting his knife at Kestral's face and gut, the knight barely stepping back or aside in time to evade most of the strikes. The few he didn't dodge ripped through his tunic only to glance off the chainmail.


    He attacked first, and I have a witness. This thug won't walk on two legs again. The knight thought darkly. Be adjusted his grip on his sword and waited for the the man to swing his knife at him.


    The knife swished past his gut and he stepped in abruptly, ducked, and whirled around to face the startled man's back. Without a word, he slashed the man's calves.


    The man howled and staggered some, but regained his balance and turned to face Kestral. The young knight's cold glare caught him off guard, his piercing eyes cutting deep into him and giving the hardened man an uncanny inner panic.


    "On the ground." Kestral said coldly as he lifted his sword to his left shoulder. The man took a step back, his face showing his anger but his sword arm hesitating. The knight swung his sword down, chopping deep into the man's right shin with a sound like an ax through moist wood.


    The man howled in pain and dropped his knife as he fell to the ground, writhing and clutching at his wound.


    Kestral wiped his hand across the blade and flicked the blood off as he sheathed it and walked to short distance to the girl.


    "Are you okay?" He asked with a tone of genuine concern even as the wounded man groaned and cursed.

    Merlin had already sheathed her daggers and stood there, a bit stunned, but fine. "I'm fine, but are you?" she asked him quietly, tilted her head, gesturing to his torn up tunic. Clearly, she had no idea about the chainmail. How would she, anyway. She barely knew him! Crossing her arms, she tapped her foot, death-glaring at the man on the floor.
    "If that's the same guy...I swear I'll..." she thought out loud, but cut her thought short when she realized she had been talking and not thinking. Woth a small growl, she turned her attention back to the boy, a bit worried.
    She didn't need to witness yet another death, or anything like that.[/fancypost]

    Kestral silently evaluated the girl while she muttered somethung about "the same guy" to herself. He guessed she was in her early teens, and that she probably wasn't much of a social buterfly, since she was walking alone at night and didn't call for help when she was being chased by the now wounded man.


    "A little buised from the tackle, but that's it. I always wear mail beneath my uniform when I'm on duty." He said, lofting part of his torn tunic to show the silver chainmail beneath.


    "Do you know who this guy is? If not, have you ever seen him before?" The knight asked.


    A Loftwing called overhead and Kestral saw four lights approaching from Skyloft.

    Merlin couldent quite see him from where she was, and was hesitant to approach him, but slowly walked forward. Taking a good look at their face, she shook her head slowly, before hastily backing up to her original distance. "Neither...I might have known if..." she replied, her voice dying in her throat. She then clenched her hands into fists, before sighing and un-clenching them.
    "If I was at my parents house when...it...happened." she finished slowly, glared at them, before growling.
    She then crossed her arms, looked up, noticing four lights. She seemed a bit uneasy, shifted her feet, and frowned.[/fancypost]

    "Okay then." Kestral said rather dismissively just as the two other knights landed. "These men will escort you to your home or, if you so wish, to the Knight Academy, where you'll be given a room to stay in for a few nights as well as food for the same number of days." The young knight explaines calmly as the two others came to him. On tapped his shoulder and whispered something.


    "I see... Do what you must, Jay. I'll take care of things here." Kestral shook his friend's hand and the men moved to the would-be mugger. The man protested and shouted as they bound his hands and hoisted him into one of their Loftwings before they both took off and headed to Skyloft.


    "That man lost a lot of blood. They are taking him to a healer under armed escort." Kestral explained as he watched the two Loftwings fly off. "That means I'll escort you home or to the Academy. Which will it be, Miss, uh...?" His voice trailed off as he waited for her to say her name and decide on where she wanted to go.

    IC; "Merlin." she replied unemotionally, arms banging limply by her sides, eyes a bit dull. "My house...well...my brother's house." she stated again, her voice drained of all emotion, before turning and looking up at the sky. "Up there." she pointed at the higher island, before looking back down and walking towards the edge of the island where she originally was.


    Staring down at the emptiness, she tilted her head, examining it.

    "Let's get you home, then, Lady Merlin." Kestral said. He put his thumb and index finger to his mouth and made a loud, shrill whistle. A moment later, his blue-grey Loftwing landed in front of him. The large bird shook its head and eyed Merlin curiously.


    "My name is Kestral, by the way." The knight spoke as he tightened hus saddle. When he was satisfied, stepped back and turned to Merlin.


    The girl was standing unnervingly close to the edge of the island, staring into the dark void that surrounded the lower sky.


    "Miss? Are you sure you're okay?" Kestral asked, concerned. Even as a student he had witnessed what surviving an attack could do to the psyche, but this seemed to be something else that he couldn't pin.
