Darath

"But what if the rumored orb user is true? If they in fact have an orb user, they could wipe us out easily!"

―Lieutenant Darath to Captain Dalen, regarding their trip to Ashenbrook.

Background
Darath was a Lieutenant in the White Knights to Captain Dalen. Darath was an excelled member in the knighthood allowing him to reach such title by the age of 21. Though he often opposed the beliefs of Dalen, he respected him and knew he could learn much from him being his Lieutenant and so stayed in that position than rather make the rank of captain.

Battle at Ashenbrook
At a meeting that Captain Dalen had called, Darath was informed of a mysterious dark armored group moving along the coast of Arsaria. This caused suspicion as no word had come from them on what their intentions were. To make matters worse, rumors of a person within that group was said to have obtained an orb that was only supposed to be a legend and so put people on edge whenever this group was traveling nearby.

Dalen had made the decision about intercepting this group of "Dark Armor", though it was Darath that tried to peruade his captain otherwise in fear of these rumors of the orb user to be true. With a small argument between captain and the lieutenant, it was a lost cause for Darath as they were heading to Ashenbrook.

Once the small group of knights arrived in the small town, they had split up to check with the local residents on further word about this "Dark Armor". Aside from a small flock of eagles circling the town, all seemed quite. When the knights re-grouped to build camp and discuss the plan for the following day, an ambush occurred. The eagles were actually turning to spears and killing members of the knighthood in the party, a cause of magic that should not have been existent. With the Dark Armored group reveling themselves and standing beside a female in concealed robes, it was realized that there was a mage once again in the land.

The two groups fought, each side taking casualties. Darath then made a charge for the hooded figure, only to be blocked by a dark knight. The robed figure then reached out to touch Darath's arm, encasing it ice. During the shock of what was actually happening, a dark knight swung his sword to meet with Darath's frozen arm, shattering it into pieces, causing Darath to pass out from the pain. After the battle was over, the robed figure and the remaining knight gathered Darath and vanished.
