The Knight's Tale

Once apon a time in a land far away there in lies a tale of a legendary being known as the Butterfly Knight.

She was said to travel the land insearch of a worthy foe but none have been a challenge thus far.

That was they way things were going for our heroine, until she met a stranger who claimed to be the fastest warrior of all.

"Well met young warrior." The Butterfly Knight says to the warrior.

"Well met indeed, I seek a mare known as the Butterfly Knight, I wish to train under her so one day I too shall be legend. " The Young warrior says in kind.

"Look no further my friend as the mare you seek is me. " The Knight said.

"Surely you jest! You look like a mere guard. " The warrior wasn't wrong with her statement, the Butterfly Knight did indeed look like a royal guard however her armor differs in that it seems more durable and the color is akin to an Eastern Tiger swallowtail butterfly.

"Interesting, you think I be a mere guard? Very well then let me prove to you that I am no guard in battle. " The Butterfly Knight says while readying her weapon.

The young warrior would finally realize who the Knight was from the blade she carried.

"You really are the one I seek, please teach me your ways brave Butterly Knight." The young warrior says with Awe.


"Very well but know this, I will not go easy on you. " The Butterfly Knight says as a few cocky rookies come up to the pair.

"Are you the Legend? Fight us if you can. " One of them would say to the knight.

The knight would just sigh and then bring out her blade.

(first person )

I watched as each of the rookies before me try to attack me in a reckless manner, the first one couldn't even land a strike on me and after another missed swing I would appear behind him and knock him out with the hilt of my rapier.

I then defeated another cocky rookie as I easily parry his weak attacks and trip him up, the butterfly wing decorations on my armor providing ample distraction as one of his buddies tried to help him out. Emphisis on tried as he to tasted the dirt with his buddy

"Better luck next time colts." I say as I put my rapier up blowing a kiss for that extra sting.

The young warrior that wished for me to mentor them watched in awe.

"I was indeed wrong about you fair knight please forgive me. " I heard him say.

I would then tell him to follow me if he wishes to train with me.

The young warrior would nod happy to follow me to where I train.

(end first person )

The Butterfly Knight lead the young warrior who's name she now learned was The Lightning Flash to her dojo where she once trained when she too was a rookie.

The dojo itself had a beautiful neighponise design but also seemed rather intimidating to a first time guest.

"By the goddesses, this place is gorgeous. " Lightning Flash says as he looked around.

"Indeed it is, this dojo was built in honor of the Goddess of Life herself. " The Butterfly Knight said.

The knight then proceeded to show Lightning Flash the training room were many a training dummy lie all of them seem undamaged as if they were unaffected by the passage of time.

The Butterfly Knight would then train her new protege long and hard, many months were spent in the dojo as the Butterfly Knight taught the young warrior Lightning Flash everything she could until....


An odd visitor with a near all black cloak would appear in the doorway of the dojo, the plants near the beings feet appeared to wilt when they passed by.

"May I help you" Lightning Flash says to the mysterious being.

"...Bring me the knight..." the stranger said.

Lightning Flash realizes that this was a mare by her voice but he had no idea as to why she was here for his mentor but to not upset the mare he went to get the Butterfly Knight.

The mare didn't need to wait long as that young warrior returned with whom she was looking for.

"Lightning whatever is the, oh I see. " The Butterfly Knight says upon meeting the stranger.

"Forgive me for intruding my my dear sister but it is my turn. " the odd mare said to the knight who simply gave her a knowing look then told her and the young warrior to follow.

"So the time has come at last. " The knight said

Time for what ? " Lightning Flash says.

"Time for the truth, you never did get to see my face did you? "The Butterfly Knight said.

The three would then approach a massive tree with all kinds of fruit on it.

"This is a rather impressive tree" the stranger said to herself.

They would then make it to an area almost devoid of any life at all.

"What is this place? " Lightning Flash asks.

"I cannot say, not yet. " The Butterfly Knight said.

"We are almost there ,so be patient " the stranger says right after as if the two mares were twins of some kind.

The party would finally reach a strange area that seemed to be in the clouds. There were buildings here as well, a Library and a huge diamond castle with no guards.

The Butterfly Knight would stop in her tracks as the stranger would stand right beside her.

The Butterfly Knight would take off her mask revealing a kind and caring mare underneath her pink mane flowing in the wind.

The stranger follows her example and removes her hood revealing a near identical mare underneath but her pink mane was cut short.

Lightning's mouth would drop upon seeing the two.

"Welcome " One Mare said.

"To your new life. " the other followed.

Thus ends the tale of the mysterious Butterfly Knight.
