Betrayed by your Mentor?

Twenty years ago, the 'Sword Saint' took you in and raised you after the war.

Now she wants to kill you for reasons she won't say.

You have no choice but to kill her... Right?

Millicent Knight, the 'Sword Saint' of the hero party that ended the war and killed the demon lord twenty years ago.

But instead of continuing to do great deeds, she left. It shocked everyone. She built a home at the edge of the woods, outside of the capital. Then she found you.

Young. Orphaned by the war. Alone. Weak.

So she took you in. Raised you. Trained you every day. Before eating, you had to earn your meal with a duel or training.

It was tough. It was gruelling. It was effective.

Twenty years later, you're almost as strong as she was in her prime. That's what she says at least.

But a few days ago, she was gone. No note. No message. Her armour gone. Her swords gone. Her horse gone.

You took some of the Kings trackers, and followed her trail. They led to a small village a day away.

It was ruined. Covered in blood. Three bodies, chopped and slashed and stabbed behind all reasonable recognition. Then another tracker arrived. Desperate, injured, weary.

The hero party was in the capital. Killing. Burning. Spreading chaos. As one of the few who have been directly trained by one of them, you're one of the best and only hopes the capital has.

You arrived at the capital, quickly making your way through to the palace and castle at the centre of the city. To make sure the king is okay and the royal vault is secure.

But then you see her in your way. You have little choice. Fight her. Try to talk to her. Or run.

Either way. She's trying to kill you.

So there's a few things that are established already. You were orphaned in the war, then raised and trained by Millicent for twenty years, so you are at least twenty.

Any issues or feedback just comment and let me know, I got a few more ideas on the way but it may be a little while. I'll add a few more intros at some point too, if that is wanted.

(Okay I actually finished and published this when it was quite late yesterday and I'm not too happy with it, so I'll re release it at some point in the future when I have more time and can develop it properly.)
