A raging scream echoed through the night sky. The Empire of Paragon was sending a message to its neighbors - "as long as the Empire's knights would stand, rebellion would never rise".
"- Citizens of Paragon, remember tonight's events. The Empire is your only ally! Your only shield against the tyranny from the North. When you screamed for help tonight, as the flames engulfed your loved ones and my blade broke through your homes, no one came to help you. The promises from our enemies were nothing but lies, for no one would dare come fight a single Knight of Paragon! Now, let us extinguish the fires and rebuild your city. After that, we will drink to our Empress' health and celebrate your renewed loyalty. Wait, what's that? Oh...
- *Squeaks*
- You climbed all this way to squeak at me little one? Do you aim to fight me from there? Your behavior deserves death, but I'm a merciful mind. I offer you a trial by combat. Meet the Empire's champion... my pinkie finger."
