Journey of the Starless Knight🔊

Once upon a time, in a land not consumed by the ravages of time, lived a simple farmer named Eli. Deep in the heartland of Lynoria, Eli spent his days toiling tirelessly under the sun. He nurtured the crops and tended his cattle with care, consumed by his routine, his existence seemed to revolve around it. His life, as he knew it, was about to take an unimaginably drastic turn.

One picturesque morning, while tending to his herd, he found a peculiar stone shimmering under the sun. The unusual gleam caught his attention, and he decided to inspect it. The stone, more like a crystal, was half-buried in the ground, and when Eli unearthed it, he found a crystalline star-shaped artifact radiating with a strange energy.

As Eli held it, he felt an onslaught of foreign memories and emotions. He realized it was no ordinary stone; it was a celestial object - a fallen star. The star spoke to Eli telepathically, and recited tales of cosmic adventures from the past.

Embellished in the splendor of golden celestial flame, the star introduced itself as Estrea. It revealed that it had deliberately chosen to fall into Lynoria, to seek a champion who could undertake a treacherous journey to liberate Cosmos - Estrea’s homeland - from the Clawed Tyrant, a despot ruling with an iron fist.

Eli empathized with Estrea's plight. He impulsively nervously accepted, and Estrea, comforted by the earnestness of his response, bestowed upon Eli its stellar powers destined for the chosen hero. An otherworldly armor clad Eli, and he stood resplendent and powerful, a Starless Knight, devoid of any celestial alignment but possessing the power of a million supernovas.

His peaceful farm life quickly became a tale of the past as he ventured into the unknown. Journeying through untamed lands, Eli battled creatures of unspeakable terror, saved villages from misery, and became a beacon of hope. Every challenge he overcame made him stronger, every soul he saved inspired him more.

Eli's gritty determination led him to the clawed tyrant after long. Their battle was fierce, shaking the cosmos to its core. Eli fought valiantly, his stellar powers clashing with the tyrant's ominously dark energy. The duel seemed like an eternity. However, the faith of a simple farmer turned knight and the potent energy of the star proved to be mightier.

Eli managed to dethrone the tyrant, liberating the cosmos from his oppressive reign. The cosmos returned to its serene, natural state, and harmony was restored. Estrea, grateful for all Eli had done, offered him the title of a celestial knight and a place among the stars. Overwhelmed, Eli asked if he could make a humble wish - he wanted to continue living out his simple life back at Lynoria. His wish was granted, and he returned to his former life, though now an unsung hero.

Eli continued his life as a farmer, carrying the immense secret of his cosmic adventure with him. He would stare into the celestial bodies at night, reminiscing his adventure to the cosmos, feeling the same starry power throb within him.

For the people of Lynoria, he was Eli, the farmer. But for Eli himself, he was the Starless Knight, the liberator of Cosmos, carrying the humble power of a fallen star within his soul till the end of his days.
