Sovereign (story)

Sovereign, also known as Sovereign: The War at Sarkovia and its full name Sovereign of the Black Crown: The War at Sarkovia, is a story rooting back to the 12th century. Sovereign is about a story of a black crown-wearing knight who, in his state of despair, fell to the Demon King's temptations which allows him to take control of the knight, leading to a devastating continental war which saw armies mobilized, gods intervening in the conflict, and the return of two kings. The war ended only in the knight being freed from the Demon King's control but was mortally wounded. The Demon King is only defeated through the efforts of the knight's heavily-wounded comrades who fought to free him.However, there are different versions of Sovereign: one is left in a cliffhanger after the Demon King was defeated, and another saw the fallen knight dying peacefully with his allies around him.
Another version saw the dying knight and his comrades leaving for the heavens to help the knight heal, which saw the knight's slow recovery and later self-imposed exile a few weeks after the knight's comrades learned that he was not purified, which force the knight's allies to find him. After a battle in the Lower Realms where the self-exiled knight was mortally wounded again by the Demon King, who threw the knight into the deepest darkest places of the Abyss, the arrival of the leathered serpeant Quetzalcoatl allowed the knight's allies to find and revitalize the knight's strength through a Light-infused bomb and a massive death qualdrandrite which brought them to the Abyss. Although they were able to escape from the Light-infused bomb's detonation thanks to the knight showing them away, the knight has not been seen rising from the Abyss, forcing his allies to fight in a war that had already reached planetary and dimensional proportions.
After being overwhelmed in a modern world they were helping fight the demons by the Demon Lord, the knight returned, rejuvenated and revitalized as ever, and with an army coming in to support him. The battle lasted for several hours before the knight is incapacitated and his army shattered, but not before the Two Kings arrived with a much larger army to combat the Demon King and his armies; the sight of the Two Kings arriving drove the Demon King mad and fought the two and their allies, which it bested only to realize that they brought just enough time for the knight to come back, this time with the combined power of the Two King's merged swords. The Demon King was powerless as the knight vanquished it forever.
Though several of the Demon King's allies arrived, they bowed to the knight who finally brought victory to them. The ending saw the knight's coronation to the title of Lord Admiral, attended by all his friends, family, comrades, mentors, superiors and angelic lover, with the Lord Admiral still donning the black crown.
==Mythology==
*The Black Crown: A black crown which symbolizes the sins of the wearer. After the vanquishing of the Demon King and his armies, the Black Crown is still worn by the knight, now the Lord Admiral, not as a symbol of the wearer's sins but this time as a symbol of honor, justice and liberty.
