You Guys are doing WHAT now?
I've never been one to have any ideas that things happen for a reason or we're part of some big plan. I don't believe in fate. But by Kord's beard... the things that have happened to me make me really question this. And that idea that someone or something is pulling my strings scares me about as much as the worst experiences of my life.
It really began to change on a slightly less-than-average day. Rumors were going around that there was some weird stuff going on at the old Terragen estate. The Princess had been kidnapped, some new Witch Hunters had been appointed in town (if they made a dent in the crime rate, I hadn't seen it), and to top it off I was passed up for another promotion because I cracked too many jokes on the job. I lived at the barracks but stopped by to say hi to mom and dad before going out on my rounds. Dad was drinking during breakfast as usual and was in good spirits. Mom gave me a couple carrots as a snack, kissed me on the cheek, and told me to be careful out on my rounds.
Now, my patrol route took me into the more dilapidated area of town where things were typically quiet, but not in the peaceful sense. Part of the route took me near the old Terragen estate. That house was really damned creepy. Dogs wouldn't go near it, local priests tried to warn us at the barracks about it, and looked as if it was not cared for in years. While turning the corner to where the house was, I saw a man in gleaming armor, beautiful red/gold cloak, and a really nice sword kneeling in front of the gates to the estate. I asked him "Hey buddy, what're you doing praying all the way out here?". He explained that he was praying for the investigators who had gone inside to uncover an evil buried inside and that "forces have made precautions against my kind which is why I cannot go in". He spoke in a tone that was to me at the time laughingly serious. I asked his name, it was Eric Lensherr. I then gave him mine.
My name is Captain Kenwa Malchro. Knight of the Round Table, Pharaoh of Aribia, Dragon Slayer, God Slayer, Justicator, survivor of the Bogenhoffen disaster, and head of the Malchro's Machinations company. I am also a sworn member of something called the "Lantern Corps".
