I Do Hope You Deem This A Worthy Valentine
This Is Where It All Begins
Greetings to all: Allow me too introduce myself.
I am Lord Baine, and it is my pleasure to entertain you this evening. Please allow me to start this journey with a story –
On this particular day - (by some chance) Lord Paradox was able to win said battle, and close friends they became. Soon there after, a tragedy befell Milady. A loved one passed and her heart was broken. Darkness fell for a time and Lord Paradox spent as much time as he could to console her.
Many became jealous of their friendship and sought to remove her from his life. They tried poisoning her mind to make her forget, but that was only the beginning. Many battles fought there after, when a Knight of Darkness stepped out of the shadows to battle for her protection. Night after night - never ending did it seem. Lord Paradox on one side - the Knight of Darkness on the other.
Both willing to save a woman they deemed worthy, wanting her to fight. At times, she fought with them, and other times she wept - unable to continue. Forward they guided, step by step to battle side by side. Only then to be held captive, on a day she was alone. Strong Magik held her - and memories were no more.
Upon arrival home, both Sir Paradox and the Knight called to her as always they did each eve, no answer did she give. Something was wrong of this they knew. Begin to search they did and Lord Paradox found her first.
He scaled the tower walls, and climbed up through the window. Fear for his life she did, but knew not why or what he wished from her. She did not know him, memories gone through magik. She knew he was in danger from he who claimed to be her husband.
The foul demon Lord Raphael Marquese who took all his frustrations out on her and those he found within easy grasp. He wished her to love him - she did not. Her heart would protect her from such, though none knew how or why. Footsteps were heard coming up the stairs.
At that She bid him to hide and save himself. He could not leave her so he hid. Her evil captor entered without a care and tried to kiss her, but she refused him. He grew angry and raised a hang to strike her. Lord Paradox could barely contain himself, but knew he must.
As the demon grew ready to strike, something he heard from the halls, off to the distance and turned to see what it was. The Knight of Darkness had arrived and was attacking the tower gates. When Lord Marquese had gone, Lord Paradox came forth once more, pleading with her to fight the Magik in her mind - wishing to free her from its grasp.
Battle with words and deeds of caring did he, nearly losing her in battle many times with each swipe. He would not give up on her, he found he loved her too much to let her go without being free. He cursed, threatened, and fought as hard as he could to get her angry enough to break free.
It hurt him greatly to do so, but he would rather die with her hating him and free, than to live within this realm knowing she was a prisoner. Encourage her more and more he did, soon she was fighting the Magik with him. Together they fought and together they freed her. Slowly the memories returned, suddenly realizing she knew more than she did before.
Soon there after they sought Lord Marquese and found him in battle with the Dark Knight. Somehow Lord Marquese was winning the battle and was driving the Dark Knight to his doom. They went forth quickly to help the Dark Knight. Together the three banished Lord Marquese and cast him back to his hell spawned Realm.
The story ends with the Dark Knight bidding Milady and Sir Paradox well, riding off on a black stead. As for Milady and Sir Paradox - together they be, to this day and at times when the day is right and people gather in the name of love. When the love is true and strong, Lord Paradox and Milady appear as A Knight and a Maiden Fair. (The Knight of darkness near and watching over them unseen)
It is said that today is such a day and oh wait, do you see what I see In the Distance? Yes, Yes I think it is -
It all began many years ago - a chance meeting of a young man and a woman. (Let us call them Milady and Lord Paradox} They met and challenged one another to a battle of wits, testing each other, as was a practice in common days. (Now mind you, we all know young men seldom have wits about them around young women, so it was customary for the woman to win such a battle).
