The Red Knight

Great artwork and storytelling, reminds me so much of Game Of Thrones. I wonder how he gained such a unique hair colour!

I love this! Has a distinctly Lloyd Owen-as-Elendil look to him!

Loving this series! Well done!

Nice evolution. It shows the fragile state of affairs that are in his mind.

The Red Knight looked up as the herald announced the arrival of the Blue Knight. He saw him enter the hall, wearing a blue wig and the Crown of Arlington on his head. He felt a surge of anger and resentment, and he clenched his fists. He wanted to confront him, to challenge him, to make him pay for his arrogance and greed. He took a step forward, but the herald caught his eye and shook his head. He mouthed a silent “No”, warning him not to cause trouble. The Red Knight knew he was right, and he restrained himself. He watched the Blue Knight parade his honors, and he heard another knight whisper in his ear: “It should rest on the Red”. He nodded, and he wondered if he would ever get his chance to reclaim what was rightfully his.

But the Red Knight had suffered a greater loss than the crown or the garnet. He had lost his wife, the love of his life, who had fallen ill while he was away. He had rushed back to her side, leaving the battlefield, but he was too late. She had died before he could see her one last time. He had mourned her with a grief that shook his soul, and he had cursed the fate that had robbed him of his happiness. He had loved her more than anything, and she had loved him back. She had been a kind and gentle lady, beloved by all who knew her.

The Red Knight had been a loyal and brave servant of the king for many years. He had fought in countless battles, vanquished numerous enemies, and earned the respect and admiration of his peers. He had also witnessed the downfall of the Crown of Arlington, a prize that had cost him and his comrades three years of blood and sweat. It was a hollow victory, for the crown was snatched away by the Blue Knight, a latecomer who had bargained with the king for his support. The Blue Knight had demanded lands, riches, and honors in exchange for his army, and the king had agreed, desperate to end the war. The Blue Knight had joined the fray at the last moment, when the Red Knight and his men were exhausted and outnumbered. He had turned the tide of the battle, and claimed the glory for himself. He had received the Crown of Arlington and the Garnet of Victory, symbols of the highest achievement in war.
