Vaen Biography Book 2 by Beowulf Thormear
It took weeks, but Vaen had managed to pull himself to be known as a Legendary Swordsman. In the process, Vaen had learned a great deal in healing, battle tactics, and general anatomy. He knew that all of this new knowledge would only make him a better warrior.
Chapter 4 - Crystal Fens
Vaen had acheived his goal at becomming one of the most skilled swordsmen in the world. However, this was a little known fact. No one knew who Vaen was, or what he wanted. No one really believed in him, except for one person.
During the small encounters with the mysteroius man known as Odric, Vaen had come up with many theories as to who this man is, and how he came about. However, he didn't have anyone to share these ideas with. Vaen had done some research, and found that there was a lady named Tiffany Case, Emissary of Crystal Fens, who would be interested in his ideas. Vaen has sought out this woman, and explained his ideas. She seemed fascinated by them, and asked Vaen's thoughts on other events that would happen throughout the days.
Tiffany Case had informed Vaen that Crystal Fens was in need of some good Knights to protect the Kingdom. Vaen, realizing that he has been in a war-like situation before, eagerly offered to join the Knights. Tiffany was pleased, and immediately accepted him.
Vaen is now the Grand Commandant of the Knights of Crystal Fens. He has earned respect amongst many people across the land, but has also made quite a few enemies. He will let no harm to come to the Kingdom if it is within his power to prevent it, and he will let no dark followers triumph in the end.
Chapter 5 - Legion of Justice
It was a dark, fall night. The only light in the area were given off by two lamp posts at the front steps to a nearby house. Outside stood Valatin and Lady Rachel, watching as Vaen Swiftar stood above a small fire, holding his Crystal Fens Grand Commandant Sash. The only sounds to be heard were the crackling of the fire, and the birds of the night. Vaen sighed, and closed his eyes tightly as he let his sash fall into the fire. Valatin looked over at his troubled friend.
"The Fens has become tainted, and their actions are no longer brought forth to better the world, but rather to better themselves. A Stained Purity, if you will." Valatin said.
"He's right, Vaen. All of us loved the Fens, however it just wasn't working out. Those in power got selfish, and used what they had at their disposal for personal gain. They are not the same people we grew to love." Lady Rachel said. Vaen looked up at them. "The Fens' people were good people. However, I steadily lost my trust for their Emissary and their Queen. Some day it will all turn back to normal... hopefully."
Vaen turned and went back into his house. Rachel and Valatin followed, their heads both lowered. Vaen had been Grand Commandant of Crystal Fens Knights for some time, and this fell heavily upon his shoulders
"A new guild must be formed. We cannot let people all over do wrongs at high intensities and get away with it. Justice must be served, if I swear it upon my family name." said Vaen
"A new guild?" Valatin said. "Methinks that is a little hastey..."
"Justice waits for no one."
"Justice..." said Lady Rachel, deep in thought.
"What are you saying, Vaen?"
"There are plenty of "Good" and "Evil" empires, city-states, and kingdoms out there. All of them have their reasons, and their ways of carrying out their plans." Vaen said. "However, none of them battle for whats right."
Vaen, you're letting your emotions overwhelm you. I'm sure there are other orders out there who try to enforce justice and--" Valatin was cut off
"Then where are they?!" Vaen screamed. "How can a guild of Justice be so blind as to what is going on? I'm not looking to change the world here, Valatin. There are a lot of nasty people in this world, and there are many people out there who are committing criminal acts and are getting away with it."
"Are you referring to Alexander?" Valatin curiously asked.
"No. However, Alexander did not commit the murder people claim."
"Do you have any proof of that? We would look like fools if we had nothing to go by..."
"Aye, we would." said Lady Rachel.
"Listen to me." Vaen lectured. "Alexander is of pure heart. He would not murder someone he loved so dearly, can you not understand that?"
"It did seem rather odd..." stated Valatin, "what are you suggesting?"
Vaen thought for a moment, then perked his head up. "A Legion of Justice. A new guild of Britannia set out to bring justice to those who commit intense acts of wrong. We won't be hunting those who steal bread at the common market, for that is not a wrong of much intensity. I am speaking of, for example, the Stormreaver Orcs."
"Ahhh, indeed." Valatin agreed.
Lady Rachel thought for a moment, "Mmmm... Orcs..."
"In my career as a Commander of Crystal Fens Knights, the Orcs have captured and sacraficed both a defenseless princess and a child to their Bludgod. Such things cannot go without punishment!"
"I agree!" said Rachel, nodding. "The killing of women and children is certainly wrong."
"We will call ourselves the Legion of Justice. Something needs to be done, my friends. And while there may be only few of us, our ideas will expand into minds, and hopefully other orders of similar purpose will form."
"The hardest layer of a house to construct is the foundation. From there, everything falls into place." wisely stated Valatin.
Vaen nodded, and the three of them ascended to the next floor, where they would work out plans for this new Legion.
