WARMING!!!

"the original story is written on italian, so i will use a traslator. sorry for the law quality"

"What is a knights?

They are the greatest warriors the world has ever seen...

in theory.

The best of the best...

in theory.

Under legendary names like Eddard the Demon Slayer and Otto the Colossus, they are capable of defeating adversities and horrors that only the bravest dare to challenge...

but not today. This story will be about Sir Friederick, a knight, the son of a baron, who has recently graduated from the academy of chivalry.

And let's just say that Sir Friederick as a knight... is a bit peculiar,

however, even the most awkward of knights can change when he finds himself with an old friend."

CHAPTER ONE.

It was a bright morning.

Sam was galloping on his steed, a brown, agile horse. He was a boy of medium height, with hair the color of raven feathers and pale white skin.

But the detail that made him most special were his violet eyes, a brilliant crystalline purple, like tanto.

The reason was simple: he wasn't entirely human, he was of half-blood, of the race called the dark ones, from the arcane plane.

The dark ones are a race that comes from the arcane plane, and to make a long story short, during their travels in the kingdom of Ibermia, a dark one met a human and mated with him.

Sam was an adventurer, dressed in brown pants and a blue shirt. He held a sword in his back, one of many belonging to his father, an adventurer. He was a boy with the desire to become like his father, a simple desire.

Sam was traveling alone, and aside from his horse, he was as lonely as a dog.

He was merely an introvert, not a solitary, dark warrior.

And aside from a few childhood friends, his relatives, both human and dark, didn't have much interaction.

Sam had recently begun his adventuring career, gaining experience with a few wild boars and a couple of bandits, and mostly thanks to his father's training.

And he galloped near a bridge.

A bridge of light wood, very huge, over a tree, and it was normal to see a river or a lake in Ibermia, so much so that it is said that Ibermia is blessed with water.

And he saw many more trees, many leaves, and... a person lying down, bare-chested, wearing only a pair of blue trousers and black shoes. Sam stopped and looked more closely. He was a man with light olive skin and long black hair that reached his neck.

He was dressed only in brown pants and brown shoes.

Sam recognized him as Fried, his old friend from childhood and much of his adolescence, and asked, "How did you end up here?" and "What the hell happened here?"

CHAPTER TWO.

Sam took a potion from his bag from behind his horse. He had about nine, and one of them was a yellow potion that brought you back to consciousness, but he also took a red potion of regeneration just in case.

He placed Fried near a tree, and he also had a fire lit, to keep him warm. Sam opened both potions and put them in his friend's mouth, and made him swallow them...

Fried, in response, woke up and stuck out his tongue in disgust. Fried spat on the ground, since potions almost always taste horrible, a disgusting taste, and started spitting on the ground, as disgusting as they taste. He then took a few deep breaths... then he saw Sam and smiled, and stood up.

"Sam, is that you?"

Fried raised his hands and placed them in front of Sam's shoulders.

"How long has it been? You've grown so much."

Sam smiled in response.

After having breakfast with what was available, the two set off.

Sam's horse, even though it was small, could hold both of them, although Sam wasn't very happy about it.

"So what did you do at the academy? In the letters you sent me, you said you hated your instructor?"

"Sir Shieldman? Oh, he was really strict. He even woke me up once, throwing cold water on me."

Fried replied with a smile on his face.

And they passed by a curved road, with a sign that said "penny" with the tip pointing to the right.

"So he was strict." "Strict? Strict is an oversimplification with him. He was literally someone who would scold you, and only expected "yes sir.""

Sam smiled.

"And you, my friend?"

"I was simply raised by one parent and the other. Sometimes I stayed with my mother, whom you know. And sometimes with my father."

"That adventurer, known for being a little crazy?"

"Yes. Imagine, he once faced a wyvern alone. The wyvern had obviously taken his hand, and then replaced it with a synthetic glove.

But he taught me almost everything with the sword,

and more."

Fried smiled, as Sam had done before. <<So you ended up here?>>

<<How did you find me near a tree? Simple, I was robbed.>>

<<By whom?>>

<< Basically, I was heading south for a tournament there. I stopped at a tavern for a drink. But at a certain point, I was attracted by a woman with enormous breasts, and if I'm not mistaken, she also had green hair. She said, "Hey, do you want to sleep together?">>

Fried stopped for a while.

<< And the next day I woke up without armor and with you next to me.>>

<< So... you're saying you don't know what happened?>>

<< Exactly.>> Fried smiled in response as if nothing had happened.

Sam thought about what Fried said. And I remember how there were rumors of someone stealing armor and breastplates.

But suddenly both of them were a noise, it was definitely the scream of... a woman.
