Black Paladin

Black Paladin

Where there are heroes, there must be villains for them to fight, and sometimes the same one gets to fight heroes of different times. The Black Paladin is one of those lucky few.

Once Arthur died, the knights tried to hold things together, they did well despite the workings of the workings of the Knight of the Crow. He was the second best swordsmen in the land, unfortunately he was constantly running into the best, Lancelot.

Things came to a head one morning when he set an ambush for Lancelot. The knight rode though the town that had been attacked and out into the woods where his men were waiting to attack. Despite the element of surprise, Lancelot defeated of the dark knights men while only suffering a few minor wounds. He tracked the Knight of the Crow to the river where he had hidden a few traps.

The battle was a close one, but even in an injured state, Lancelot could not be defeated, The Blank Paladin laid on the shore of the river, a broken man, dying.

Even a man as evil as the Black Paladin had his allies and lovers, and one of his lovers was a witch. She found the body of her lover and took him back to her coven, intent of keeping him from death. Her magic could not heal the wounds, but she could keep the man alive, in a deep sleep, for years as the wounds healed themselves.

He would awaken in modern times, there was no Lancelot or other knights, just men in strange clothing to stop him. The reign of the Knight of the Crow was about to begin after a long delay.
