The Sir Knight

**CHAPTER 1**

*The crowd was cheering as the horses were about to cross the finish line. Richard, who loved horse racing had cheered on Horse #3. “GO…GO…GOOO!!!” He had screamed. Richard loved horses and it was his dream to become a professional horse racer.As the horses were on the verge of the finish line something strange happened.Everyone got silent. “What’s wrong?” Richard said confusingly. Everyone looked shocked and horrified. There was smoke coming from the castle. There it went, BANG. There was fire, everyone was scared some tried to run away while the others ran to the castle of Acropolis to save the honored king who fought through wars to save his people. There went another explosion, then Richard saw it. A whole other unusual knight group charging at the castle with full force. Richard looked scared and confused. “Who are those knights? I’ve never seen them before?” A man screamed at Richard with a horrified look on his face. “RUN Richard RUN.” Richard thought to not talk back as he didn’t want to get injured but there was still people that needed help. Richard didn’t want to lose his loved ones and the king. He may have been a 10 year old boy but he was still fierce and determined. “No, I’m going to help save those who need me” Richard had said. “RICHARD, ARE YOU MAD? THOSE KNIGHTS WILL KILL YOU!!! THEY INJURED THE KING AND HAVE ALREADY KILLED TONS OF PEOPLE! RUN BEFORE ITS TO LA-“ There was a stop in motion from this man. He had a sword in his stomach and started coughing blood. Lastly he fell to the floor and was lying there dead. Richard couldn’t believe what he saw. A person being killed right in front of him. As the knight approached him he started to feel something. Scared, but this wasn’t going to stop him from avenging the fallen people of his kingdom. He grabbed a sword through the fire and prepared to fight this unusual knight. He waited for the right time and struck with full might. “YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!” He screamed as he started to approach the knight but the knight just grabbed his sword and tossed it like it was nothing. Richard looked so surprised and tried to back away as he was helpless. He didn’t know what to do against this knight as it seemed so unreal how insanely fast he resisted his attack. The knight swooped in and grabbed his arm. “W-w-what are you doing?” Richard cried. The knight didn’t seem to respond but as he grabbed him Richard had started to pass out. “W-what’s happening?” He said but the knight refused to respond. Richard lastly saw the enormous flames and the fallen ones of his kingdom. “Mom,Dad, Mr King sir?” He said before everything went black.*

**CHAPTER 2**

*Richard woke up awkwardly in a really tight cell. He felt so weak he couldn’t even feel his limbs. “W-where am I?” He said. The ominous sense of this unexpected event had really brought Richard to surprise. But then he looked out the cell and saw multiple other cells of other survivors. Some were young others were around there Middle Ages. some were awake, while some looked like they were unconscious with their eyes opened. “Wait there’s more survivors? I thought I was alone here.” He said. Richard had thought that for how destructive the events of who knows how many days ago had gave Richard the thought of he was the only survivor. It caught him by surprise, he was excited but also scared. He didn’t want anything to happen to these people especially after losing his kingdom. “Hey, do you know where we are?” He said to the survivors, one kid had kept saying “We’re going to die, we’re going to die…” while the others didn’t reply instead ignored all of Richards questions. “HEY,IF YOUR GOING TO IGNORE ME THEN I WILL FIGURE A WAY OUT MYSELF.” He immediately regretted that sentence as another unusual Knight walked in through the transparent door and opened the gate for another survivor and was trying to drag him out. “What are you doing!? Let me Go,LET ME GO!” The survivor cried but the knight didn’t seem to care instead gave him a deep look and somehow the survivor passed out. Was it from intimidation, confusion, being too weak to even respond? Richards head was loading with questions as the survivor was being dragged out of the room. Richard though to himself “I wonder what are they going to do with us.” He felt so overwhelmed and confused but before he could get a second thought another Knight came in and opened the cell for another survivor.This one was already passed out so it wouldn’t be much of a problem for this knight. But this only scared Richard even more. He didn’t want these fellow survivors to just be taken away without any explanation, but it was already too late. A few hours later after the last of the survivors were taken away The last knight had come in for Richard. At one point Richard wanted to fight back, but at the other Richard didn’t want to fight but instead wanted answers for these events. He wasn’t going to let these knights get away with this. As the knight started to drag Richard he said. “HEY, who are you? Why are you doing this to us? What have we done to deserve this? We’ve tried to keep peace with all the other colonies in the areas why put this piece of tragedy on my people?” The knight just gave him a quick glance then Richard like the other kid started to black out.*

*Once he woke back up he was in a stadium,there was weapons everywhere and all the survivors looked confused they started to back up to the walls but right after that. Entire blades swooped out of the walls back and forth. The survivors were terrified some were so close to getting cut and half. This caught Richard by surprise as he was about to go Mad after this. But then, the knights finally spoken. “You will fight to the death, whoever survives will prove us worthy of surviving the interplanetary Knights association.” Everyone gasped in horror. No one wanted to kill the fellow members of acropolis but they knew they would die anyway. The Knight had spoken again. “Do not wish to concede this battle you will show no mercy and if you do not do as said…You will be terminated on the spot and will only put more of your kingdoms survivors at risk.” The survivors were furious. This was something to not play around on yet it was really happening. “HEY,WERE NOT GONNA KILL PEOPLE ON THE SAME GROUP JUST FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT AND “WORTHINESS.” A survivor had said. One thing the survivor had should’ve thought is not to say this. The knight had seemed like he ignored him but that was apart of the plan he had seemed to be talking to the leader of the association and they had all gathered around the survivor. “What are you doing?” The survivor said worryingly. The knights had started to beat him up and held him at gunpoint. “You’ve wished to concede this battle, you have broken the rules, now you must pay for what you have caused.” The survivor was terrified and felt a deep sickness inside of him. He was so terrified to the point there was no point of his termination he was already unconscious from the amount of intimidation he had received. “Does anyone else wish to concede?” The knight had said. No one seemed to answer. It was up to Richard to figure a way out of this and to stop this association from the termination of the survivors.*
