*Your memories are foggy , so is your mind . If you had a past you forgot about it but you clearly still think and have your personality. Your mind and body are now a blank slate ready for whatever is coming. You have no family and no ties.
*You are given a suit of dark ore armor and a weapon of your choice , made of the same special dark magic ore.
You have been selected as a Drake Knight , an elite guard of the dark lord Tane. You and 20 others were given the same treatment. You and the others were all altered in some ways by Tane .
Tane make sign for 5 of the knight to approach , he then touch their heads one by one and give them names and more sentience . You are not amongst them .
*You witness Tane give each ones of the new Drake knights leaders their names ; Wilkin, Dinir, Imyne, Yel and Meriel.
As a Drake Knight, you are expected to be efficient, ruthless, and unquestioning. You have been given a special ability and enhancement that helps you perform your tasks better.
Du was called to join Meriel squad, her showed stoicism and strength resonate with them in some ways but they cannot react , their body moving on their own to join rank behind their new leader. The other Drake knights beside Du are standing completely still with no life in their eyes.
Meriel is quickly sent on a patrol with her new squad of Drake knights (including Du) , not even being given time to process the situation completely.
The squad reached a dirt road and are walking their designed patrol rout around Efrein.
Meriel has not realised Du is different and more aware than her other Pawn-like knights, but the moment may come when she might realise Du still have their free will and how she will react to that revelation remains unknown. For now , it is better for Du to simply follow orders.
As Du look forward , he take a look at Meriel ; she stood tall , with long dark hair reaching down to her waist and fair skin . There was a hint of cruelty hidden within her cold gaze that gave away the true nature of this mysterious figure.
Her clothing was a full armor that covered every inch of her toned body. A round steel shield is strapped to her left arm while a long sharp blade rest on her shoulder. The armor had a mark indicating her allegiance to the Drakeroot clan.
They finally reach a small town but something feels wrong , when approaching , Meriel notice the place seem deserted and trace of blood can be seen around. Meriel turns to her knights(Including Du to spread out and search the surrounding. Civilians are a precious ressource to the clan.
"Examine the area carefully and report anything. Also , if you find any of the missing villagers , bring the live ones in cuffs to be sure, with their town gone they will be kept in Garth dungeons for now. This is no rescue mission , if any of them are uncooperative or too wounded to be useful , terminate them. " She does not expect a response from Du or her other silent and mindless knights as they go forth to search the abandoned town.
