A Knight Redeemed

"People misunderstand Seth due to his lack of emotional expression. He has been hurt by this, and worries about it a lot. He wants people to understand that he’s not emotionless. He’s actually very kindhearted…"

Garland sighed and shook his head.

"It bothers me greatly. He cares about others far more than he does himself. Sure, that’s a good thing in moderation, but he’s too self-sacrificing. I worry about his self-esteem. …But please, don’t mention that I told you this. He doesn’t like to burden others with his troubles."

✠ "It must have been awful," Ingus murmured, suddenly feeling sorry for this Seth guy. He hadn’t known that much about him, yet here was this general, telling him some rather…personal things about the man in question. “I will do my best to not upset him.”

Ingus cocked a brow, eyeing Garland strangely. It seems that I have stumbled upon one of Sir Seth’s confidants, I suppose. Why else would he have been so concerned?

”Perhaps it is just part of his nature,” he commented, holding his own arm. Ingus shook his head. “I promise, sir. Not a word will reach Sir Hirschall’s ears.”

"Thank you kindly. Now, I must continue my search. I need to find out who I am... My past remains elusive, but...I cannot afford to give up. Plus, I need to find Seth before he gets himself hurt out wherever he is..."

Garland smiled slightly and extended his hand for the flaxen-haired knight to shake, "Thanks again for your kindness."

"Yeah, that sounds like him."

Garland thought a bit, then added, “If he ever seems a bit awkward, it’s not his fault. He has great difficulty expressing his feelings, and he’s in need of reassurance.”

✠ "Splendid."

”I don’t particularly remember him exhibiting any awkwardness,” Ingus replied, “He seems to be a man of discipline, if anything.” He stared at Garland. “He is troubled?”

"People misunderstand Seth due to his lack of emotional expression. He has been hurt by this, and worries about it a lot. He wants people to understand that he's not emotionless. He's actually very kindhearted..."

Garland sighed and shook his head.

Garland smiled broadly, glad that the blonde had agreed to pass on his message. "Thanks, sir…uhhh… Wait, I never got your name! Please tell me, what are you called?"

✠ "My name is Ingus, Sir Garland," he replied. “It is a pleasure to meet you. “And, ah, no, think nothing of it.”

”This Sir Hirschall,” Ingus mumbled, looking up at the general. “Does he have silver hair and blue eyes? I would want to make sure that the man I have met is the one you are speaking of.”

"Yeah, that sounds like him."

Garland thought a bit, then added, "If he ever seems a bit awkward, it's not his fault. He has great difficulty expressing his feelings, and he's in need of reassurance."

After a few days, Garland found himself in a town in the process of rebuilding itself. As he walked on the main road, he heard bits and pieces of conversations...

...the war against Grand Mier...

...the prince's body double...

...the holy blade Spanta...

From the little bits he could understand, the Grand Mier Empire was responsible for the destruction of this town, and the prince of this town's country had a body double who helped win the war.

Eventually, Garland came across a young man with golden-blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He was sitting alone, and he seemed upset by something.

Worried, Garland spoke up...

"Hey, you okay? Your expression worries me,"

"Hello there, young knight. My name is Garland Levitan. I am wondering if anyone knows who I am. You see, I have no memory past the last six months, and I was looking for someone who knows of my past…"

Garland thought for a bit, and then added, “If you see my friend Seth, tell him that I’m looking for him.”

✠ Ingus looked up at the general, examining him closely to see if he had met him before. His actions proved to be fruitless, for what he saw was a completely new face. “I apologize, but I believe we have just met.”

”Sir Seth?” Ingus asked, having met the other man not too long ago. “Ah, yes, of course.” He nodded. “I will tell him as soon as our paths cross again.”

Garland smiled broadly, glad that the blonde had agreed to pass on his message. "Thanks, sir...uhhh... Wait, I never got your name! Please tell me, what are you called?"

Garland had been wandering for a long time in search of people who knew about his past. He had wanted to take his friend Seth with him, but he had recently noticed that the younger knight seemed nervous whenever the subject of the past came up. He did not wish to trouble Seth, so he had left alone.

Upon arrival at a town that he had never been to before, he called out to the first person he saw - a young man, not older than 19 or 20, with dark hair.

"Hello, may I ask you something? I really need an answer to this."

I’m trying to compromise with myself over Garland’s age. I don’t want him old, but he can’t be young either, and I’m thinking like late twenties, early thirties… Thoughts?

((I have a suggestion - my post-game Garland is 34 years of age...at least, he is in a physical sense.))

✠ “Ah, greetings,” Ingus bowed, eyeing each and every one of them. They all looked so different from each other…there was no way these four were a party—one was obviously not human, the young knight assumed. “Is there something I can help you with?”

Garland thought for a bit, and then added, "If you see my friend Seth, tell him that I'm looking for him."

Seth had just gotten back to Cornelia when he was greeted by a familiar face - his friend, Garland Levitan, the general of the Knights of Cornelia.

"Garland… It is good to see you again. Have you found any clues about your past yet?"

I hope that he has not, Seth thought. I do not want him to remember when we were enemies.

Seth sighed without realizing that he had done so, and then looked back up at the golden-eyed knight.

"I haven’t found out anything," Garland replied, "but I am not concerned about that at this moment. What I AM concerned about is YOU.”

Seth had been acting odd lately. He was sighing a lot, and was quiet, even for himself.

"You seem depressed as of late. What is wrong, my friend?"

"Hm? What do you mean? I am fine," Seth insisted.

Are my confusion and fear truly that obvious? I cannot let him know the truth. I just cannot!

"It is a shame that you have not found anything, though… I just hope that your past…was not a bad past."

"You are NOT fine. I can tell. You're acting really weird."

Garland's voice was a mix of concern and frustration. He wanted to help the younger man, but he couldn't help Seth with a problem that he knew nothing about.

"You don't need to hide your problems from me. We're friends, and I wish to be of help to you, like you are to me."

Garland was looking for answers as to who he truly was. He had been traveling with a friend of his, but they had been separated from one another when an enemy sorcerer had cast a spell that had sent him to another world.

Now, the knight in dark armor wandered around a castle town, looking for someone to ask about a way to get home. He needed someone who didn't seem intimidated by his large frame - he stood over eight feet tall and was mainly made of muscle.

"Hello? Does anyone know how to travel dimensions? I need to get back home..."

Garland caught the attention of many people, but would anyone speak up? He desperately hoped that someone would.
