 Sir Keliam
"Without Honor, there is
only Death!"
In the
Knightly robes of his Clan atop his warhorse Brother Keliam looks anyhting
but a farmer and yet that is the life he was bron into. To the east of Yew
in a secluded area surrounded by Mountains Kel new only of such things as
crops and herding Mt goats. He was a strong youth and a hard worker never
thought twice about getting his hands dirty. The work was hard
indeed but he thought his life a good one no worries of any true
consequence. He often spent the little time he had off daydreaming in the cool
shade under the fondation of his home, here he would lay listining to the wind
or his mothers voice as she sang going about her chores. He and his family knew
of Lord British but little else of the anything but their farm and to them that
was all that mattered, but it was on one such occasion as Kel lay in
semi-conscouisness that his mothers singing stop abruptly and it was the sweet
melody that had put him to sleep and when it stopped his eyes snapped open. It
was a scream he heard from the house above, his mother scream and some Mens
voice loud and angry not thoughs of his father but strangers. Her voice rang in
his ears as he scrambled to the front door,and to his mother, where was his
father. As he crawled on hand and knee he felt something wet and warm drip
on his neck. It was blood, his gut told him it was his fathers. Tears streamed
down the youth face and he felt true anger for the first time, he would make
them pay. Hey barreled through the door to the kitchen fist clenched so tight
his palms bleed. He Spun into the kitchen prepared to pounce on his mothers
attackers but the sight that greeted him made him stumble back and stare. His
father lay across the floor in a pool of his own blood and his mother with but
tattered cloths remaining, trembled in the corner. Three men turned to
face the youth grinning and laughing at the prospect of a fresh kill. One stood
with dagger to his mothers throat the others were wrapped in steel with swords
drawn towards Kel. He might have run but the bastard with the dagger drew it
acrost his mothers throat and that was all he could stand. The boy launched
himself at one of the Armoured rouges swinging wildly but his charge was met
with a fist of steel as the rouge warrior cuffed Kel aside. He slammed in to the
wall his body broken but not his spirit. He looked into the eyes off his Killers
as they moved into finish him, he did not fear death but he feared that these
men would go unpunished for the horror they had wrought. Then Kel herd footsteps
in the Hall and his enemies truned to face the entry way. There stood two
warriors one in Plate as Black as coal and the other in the Gold and Purple
robes leveling a crossbow. Steel met steel and quarrels flew and in but a few
moments only the newcomers stood. This is how Sir Keliam came to meet Lord
Maraxus Moor and Sir Legolas, those he calls brothers, those he calls family, as
well as the rest of his Clan, Clan Moor.
