Chapter 6

Does the Knight truly exist?

In truth, Erighan remains a child at his core - the same scared and sad child
who witnessed the aftermath of his father's slaying. But the Knight he has
created and controls, like one of his father's marionettes, has become a true
knight of renown.

The Knight has grown to command the Village of the Battleragers, among the
most feared warriors in Thera. He has a reputation of nobility, honor and
Valour.

The Knight despises lies. He hates deception and fraud. Perhaps it's
Erighan's attempt to make his illusion more convincing. Or perhaps it's the
Knight's truly held belief, and the illusion has crossed the line of fantasy
and become reality.

But Erighan knows that the Knight is nothing but a lie. A huge lie, composed
of intricate and moving pieces. A lie that has form and life and meaning. A
lie that has given hope and inspiration to some, and frustration and fear to
others.

A lie that, by most measures, is more alive than Erighan is.

Does Erighan truly exist?
