A stranger approaches...
Calmness was setting on the Acre encampment after their victorious siege. Blue and Reinhardt were watching over the soldiers as they were relaxing and having duels with each other. When Blue noticed some stranger walking up to the dueling arena. "Who is that?" Blue asked Reinhardt. "I am not sure, let's detain him." Reinhardt called his soldiers to attention and had them circle the intruder and ordered him to drop his weapons. The stranger sheathed his strange weapon and proceeded to push his way past the soldiers and walked to the center of the dueling circle, pulled out his weapon, and held it in a salute to initiate a duel.Reinhardt shocked by this strangers actions, and wanting to see how it goes, said, "You see his intentions, who wants to accept?" A Knight by the name of Felix stepped forward, saluted, and the duel began. The stranger gave Felix a mighty blow that knocked him over, Felix rolled away and cunningly gave the stranger a blow to the chest that made the stranger let out a gasp of air. Felix then kicked him down and put the training sword to his throat signaling victory. The stranger got up, bowed, and signaled for his next duel, maintaining his silence throughout this whole ordeal. After every duel, this stranger picked himself back up, signaled for the next duel, win or lose, he would not give up. After seeing this strangers actions, Reinhardt requested one of the Crusaders to go get King James and bring him here immediately. When King James arrived, he was filled in on all of the information about this new person in the camp.
King James observed his duels for a good hour and turned to Reinhardt and said, "Get your soldiers ready, I am going to confront him." Reinhardt bowed and rushed off, while Blue remained. After the stranger finished his current duel, King James shouted from the arena walls, "Stranger, why are you here? What are your intentions?" The stranger turned to James, pulled out his sword alerting all of the soldiers to drop their practice swords and attempt to detain this stranger they had just had many friendly duels with. The stranger stabbed his sword into the ground, got down on one knee, and muttered his first words in some ancient accent, "Because God wills it." King James turned to Blue nodding his approval of this new found stranger, Blue turned to look at the stranger and he was still on his knee looking at the ground. Blue turned to his King and said "I have plans for him." King James said, "Very well," turned to look at Reinhardt down below, and yelled, "Take him to a tent, get him fed, and get him out of that ancient armor and into our new plate armor." The stranger, understanding what was just said, turned to Reinhardt, handed bowed and presented his sword to him as a gesture of respect. Reinhardt accepted this gift and asked him, "What is your name?" The stranger looked at him and said in a low tone, "Westgate." Meanwhile, King James and Blue were walking back to the Kings tent when James asked Blue, "What are your plans with him?" Blue looking straight ahead said, "I had a dream, and he was there by my side as my squire, it must have been a sign." James responded, "Very well, do you trust him?" Blue nodded. James turned to enter his tent and said, "Do what you must, I trust you, don't make me regret this."
