Story summery
During his early years, he was picked up by a thieves’s and assassin's guild where he was taught his first skills in surviving the harsh life in the gutter. 
The training started at the age of 3yrs where he was taught how to sneak up on targets to pick pocket by using sleight of hand on them, and they also taught how to find out by observing them carefully and recognizing how wealthy their clothes are or how much their jewellery is worth can tell you if you have to backstab them or pick pocket them to get the goods. 
As he grew up his skills improved as did the amounts of loot he brought back with him as well. Then he started to be taught the deadly skills of an assassin, where he is taught to find a weapon in every object and how to observe your enemy and to find his weak spot and how to exploit it for your own advantage or personal gain. 
During this training he excelled at finding the killing spots and was very good at hiding from their target and authorities. 
As the training took its toll on young Ashly he lost his innocence to become a cold hearted killer who showed no emotion to what he was asked to do. 
At the age of 14yrs he was found by his Mother Sharla and adoptive father Alexander Riot where they tried to bring back home but to find the young Ashly wanted nothing to do with them and left his parents where they were and walked out of their lives into a life of murder, lies, slaves, gold and drink. 
Ashly's Diary
Age 15, first mission: Sneak into the heavily fortified mansion of Lord De Bers and murder the good Lords family. 

Day 110: Monday: pack equipment, rope arrow, dagger, water arrows, armour piercing arrows, spring loaded needle blade and black leather armour. 

Scouted out the parameters for two day’s and nights noting down patrol routes and how many guards are on the walls. 
Night time execution, climbed the walls checked for guards saw the usual amount and one beneath me half asleep, I smirked to myself and slid down quietly and grabbed his head with my right hand over his mother so he couldn’t shout and I slit his throat and dumped his body into some bushes to hide it. 
The grounds its self was impressive rolling patrols and guard dogs and its own barracks along with the mansion it’s self. 
I used the rope arrow to hit the spare room balcony for a safe entrance inside to help avoid the mount of guards and dogs roaming outside who would butcher any thief entering without a warrant at least to rob the premises chuckles to one self thinking it happening. 
The maids where lazy as I suspected balcony door was unlocked as was the room door, I knocked the light outside the door with a water arrow and did the same around the house so I could take out the guards and servants that were necessary to be taken down with out to much noise, the guards inside were a lot nastier and brutal in a way they were known to take advantage of the maids when they can, huh and I though I was bad with women chuckles to himself again after thinking it. 
Day110: Time 2200 hours: inside the mansion time to find my targets Lord De Bers, their son and the wife and I had a feeling the son was on the top floor fast asleep as he usual is possibly under guard, I made my way to his room after using my thief network to make a map and found two guards stopped around the corner and unhooked my short bow made of yew as I took out a water arrow and knocked out the light in front of them and then took out two armour piercing arrows and took them both down with that hoping the noise did not walk the poor lord up. 
I found the Lord’s son’s room and quietly entered it and shut the door quietly behind me too as my face showed no sign of emotion for the young lad’s own life or future or welfare he just would not know he was going to die now, crime unknown he was a pest to my guild master who wanted this family silenced for good, oh well time to do the job, I used a rag and shoved it in the lads mouth and suffocated him to make him die quietly. 
Day110: Time 2300 hours: son was now dead and quiet as kids should be smirk to myself as I went to find where the good lady is, had to enter the vents to make it quicker to get around found her though never thought what she was doing though having an affair with the head chef in his kitchen, she must have an appetite for desert one could say, chuckle to myself again. 
Waited for the chef to eventually leave the kitchen as I slid out of the vent and up behind the good lady, I quietly wrapped a hand over her mouth and used my spring loaded needle blade to stab her into the back. 
I had now killed the son and wife of the good Lord De Bers, who himself was known as a womaniser and it was not hard to find him in bed with a 16yr old maid who alongside the good lord shall remain forever silent smirk. 
I killed them both I threw a dagger into the maid and she got hit in the throat lucky strike on my part the lord I made him suffer for I hit all the points in the body as major nerve points but I did so with him gagged so he could not scream outside also made sure the maid was dead after I finished with him which was not to long. 
I eventually made my way back up to the balcony and outside and escape to the town outside these fortified walls where they will soon find the Lord and his family killed by an unknown assassin, ha-ha impregnable was it not to me. 

I escaped that day and got much praise from the guild master and I also got a lot of loot too, though I did not seem to care much for it, when I got back I realized it but to me it was the thrill of the mission that I enjoyed instead. 
Day 111: Tuesday: The next day I was asked to go to a party held by the guild master, I had a good time got drunk and got laid by a unknown female thief, irony though she tried to kill me in the morning but fell on her own blade, left her dead in the room and left the room and the tavern to head to the guild for another mission I hope. 
Day 113:Thursday: Thursday: It had been a day or two but seemed to me last a week as the guild master called so he could I wish a new mission to undertake as I went in he looked serious as he handed the assignment over to me. 

2nd mission: Kill the traitor Salil the sword:

Day 113: Thursday: Now Salil was an assassin who had honour, you see not many assassins do, he duelled his opponents and has never lost a fight at all. Now it seems he has ran to the authorities and gave evidence what our organization is and what it does which is not good for us or him for he has betrayed us. 
Slight problem for me is to find an assassin that does not won’t to be found for he knows what is hunting him, so I decided to hit his contacts and squeeze them for information that they might have on them, I kind of guessed it depends on how much squeezing I have to do. But after torturing four of them which I have to say I rather enjoyed myself I got the information I was after his location, for he was hiding in an abandoned warehouse under guard by the authorities he had gone to, hehe he should never of told anyone the idiot. 
I sneaked over their with my equipment re-stocked up and looked around the building and saw five guards at the front and four at the back, hmm this is tough I pulled my hood on and got into the tree’s for these guards are way to heavily armoured to face head on so I had to snipe them from afar as they panicked from whom it was that was killing them off one by one. 
I knew Salil had a feeling it was a hit coming for him as I looted the bodies for coin and the key; I unlocked the door and slid in. 
The place was pitch black except for some bits of light but great for sneaking around un-noticed as I felt a scratch on my right arm, a graze from a Kunai as I looked I saw Salil his hand on his blade our eyes met as we both stared at each other as it would seem blades of cold steel clashed against each in this duel of minds, then suddenly Salil ran at me and brought his blade from its sheath in an upwards arc at me, I had to duck and jump backwards then lunged forward as I grabbed his sword arm with my right hand and flicked my spring loaded needle blade and stabbed him four times in the chest then I took his blade and chopped his head off. 
I took his head to the guild master who then sent to the authorities as a warning not to mess with us. 

As I had time to enjoy myself, unknown to me that the guild master did a hit on my mother Sharla and Alexander Riot my adoptive father to silence them as well it would seem. During this time I had a lot of missions that were minor in detail, women were all over me especially thieves’s and barmaids but if I got laid by them and if I did not I did not care, for I knew what they wanted and it was rather boring to be honest. 
Then bad news came to us of a samurai who has taken over the investigation and picked up what has already been started by the authorities and his name was Daisuke. 
The guild demanded him to be killed as I knew he would, anyone targeting us became a target themselves. 

3rd mission: kill the Investigating Samurai Daisuke.

Day 115: Saturday: The samurai himself was not hard to find or pinpoint his walks went though the town and to every tavern except ours, I wonder why I smirked to myself. 
He had a small contingent of guards and the tavern was right next to the guard house where he stayed. 
Now I thought how to get into the guards barracks and out again while staying alive I thought to myself I had one plan and it was very risky. 
The next day I had joined the guards to get myself into the barrack and to the target and to also destroy any information on us that they have at this moment. 
As I was employed now as a guard I scouted out the barracks to find the samurai’s room and to check it for traps he might have put on it and I had to choose between poisoning the barracks or a night time execution. 
Day 117: Monday: I had now been with the guards a few day’s now and done my research I poisoned the food today so that I can move around the place and kill him, the poison is a sleeping drug to knock the guards out. I used two vials worth in the food it should work. 
That night the place was alive with sound of snoring I changed my equipment to that of an assassin and decided to hit him this night for he shall not know of what is coming as I headed to his room quietly and silently. 
As I got their to my surprise he was awake and Daisuke spoke “I was expecting you, you work with such diligence young man but I am afraid I have my orders to put your people down defend thy self!” I was now facing a samurai one on one ugh unfair odds but alas I also had a mission to uphold to. 
The fight was brutal as I was cut across my chest and left leg but I was able to hit him back to as he seemed to slower I could sense my opportunity to finish him and it came as he swung his katana with such a vicious arc I slid to the side of him and slid my own dagger into his side aiming for his heart or near enough as he died gurgling I was very annoyed with myself and paid no attention to look for any documents I set a fire in the samurai’s room and left the barracks a bit battered and bruised too to give a very relieved guild master the good news as the barracks burnt down with sleeping guards inside. 

Day 119: Wednesday: I then rested for the next couple of day’s getting drunk and selling loot which included slaves to other thieves’s and low-life’s. 

4th Mission: Acquired a strange creature:

Day 120: Thursday: I’ve felt an odd presence as of late when I’ve walked the town at night as if some thing or someone is watching me, wondering what it could mean oh well time to head back to the guild for a pint. 
That feeling of something wrong was right some how, some one is knocking off assassins ten go out and nine end up dead with one badly injured, some one is onto us but why? 
Day 122: Saturday: after awhile the assassins refused to go out and decided to send the thieves’s instead and I also went out to scout about for this person or persons to get information on them, I pick pocketed a few nobles but felt someone watch me and decided to get something to eat. 
Suddenly coming down the street was a female Japanese noble, she wore eight kimono’s first was black and the last was white and also her hair was black with a white streak in it and also she carried a lot of loot but no guards or weaponry it felt fishy and sensed to me like a trap so I watched instead. 
As three thieves’s crept up on to this Japanese noble who gripped the thieves’s daggers and cut off the fingers of the first two thieves’s and then threw the last one over her shoulder breaking his arm, I knew she felt odd somehow. 
I saw her flirt with nobles including our guild master Chao Bo who seemed very interested into her and invited her to his mansion for his private party, I am not happy about this. 
The part is boring, this place is full of Japanese and Chinese furniture and pictures and is a very big banquet hall, it would seem the women is not human some sort of demon the boss said and they seem to be all over each other now, man this party sucks now. 
Day 123: Sunday: next day I was asked to stay at his mansion, the women how dare she try to think she understands me in front of the boss by telling him I hate him! Just what is she after? 
Catch her making her own food and I found out she is a spy looking for the dead samurai I can’t believe she wants my help to find the information to nail the guild boss she used him by flirting , but I can get closer to him now with this and kill him. 
Told the boss but feel guilty heard she is being sold as a slave I bought her for five platinum pieces, got her from the jail and was going to let her go but instead agreed back my own place to help her the next day I had to break her. 

5th Mission: Quiet the Guild Master Chao Bo:

Day124: Monday: next day I asked her what is her name? She had trouble answering it but said it was Karleem in the end due to having too many names given to her by humans but also known as Blackfox. 
She complimented me on my craftsmanship on several pieces of my assassin gear I made for my missions; she is an odd woman though. 
Took Karleem to the torture room and locked her into place as it would seem the guild master decided to watch Karleem told me not to hold back as I did the chakra torture on her after two hours of her faking getting broken the guild master left and then I stopped and took her home to let her rest and heal up. 
She refused the bandages I offered saying she heals quick and she did to, she is a beautiful creature, I had to get a bell and collar and a lead for her and make her wear what I wanted to wear as well. 
Day 126: Wednesday: I was summoned along with my slave Karleem who was a Kitsune to a meeting she wore tight leather trousers and a skimpy bra as I took her their and I made her kneel beside me. 
The heads of the separate departments were here as I looked around the meeting was about the running of the place as Karleem seemed to be entertaining me down their as the guild master asked me to make Karleem entertain me in front of everybody else in this room which we did to keep the cover up. 
We got back and entertained our selves inside Karleem told me what she wanted and I started to look as she scouted around herself for a bit. 
Karleem got advances from another Demon, it would seem the guild master and his 2nd in command Wang Bo are Raccoon Demon’s this Wang wanted me to sell Karleem I said no so I started to flaunt her beauty to wind him up which it succeeded in a way as he went back in a fury. 
Day 128: Friday: the second meeting Karleem and I had a plan she wore a thin strap across her chest and a loincloth. 
We got their and Karleem started to entertain me as it seemed to annoy the 2nd in command Wang and I then told Karleem to entertain all the others except the two Demon’s which she did and it also did its job as well. 
The guild master Chao told everyone I was to assassinate the Emperor himself which worried Karleem when she got back and I took the collar and bell off as usual again.
Day 129: Saturday: I found the contract for her, but she went for my mother’s necklace which she did and now they want me dead for betrayal ugh I am not liking this but its worth it though. 
But unlucky for Chao Bo I rigged his mansion to blow up which it did and Karleem’s foxfire saved me to then we faced Chao Bo and Wang Bo both raccoon Demon’s. Karleem pushed me into a shadow porthole to save me, but I could not abandon her so I travelled back to find her and make sure she is safe. 
Day 130: Sunday: found myself in a forest outside of town about two day’s out of town but one day if you run hard which I did, so I started to head back to help Karleem and get my revenge on my mother’s murderer I ran my heart racing trying to keep up with my feet as I raced towards my destiny. 
Day 131: Monday: I got into town and started to stock up on explosives as I sneaked back into my old guild master’s mansion house area I scouted out a cave for a safe haven and stocked my explosives. 
That night I rigged the ceiling the demon’s cavern I had hoped for I knew in my heart she was down their and then I waited. 
Day 132: Tuesday: I set off the explosives hoping to bring out Chao and Wang but only Wang came out and fell into my trap and got blown up and I did my research and blew up the sand he died on too and then I went to go get Karleem out of their. 
I found her in a cell and took her to the cave and got rid of the bell and started to bandage her up the best I could but instead of resting she wanted to head back to report her findings to the Emperor himself. 
Day 134: Thursday: we got to Kyoto and the Emperor’s palace and to see him personally to relay Karleem’s report and findings we thought we might not get in but we did just a sigh of relief but unsure of what is to happen with me though. The Emperor was Hideyoshi Toyotomi with his wife Nene and Chief Retainer Mitsunari Ishida the red fox of Mt Sawa and lord of Sawayama Castle with the competent Sakon Shima and the womaniser Magoichi Saika. 
As karleem told everything to Hideyoshi he was not surprised at the thought of assassins after him but I could care less it had nothing to do with me anymore so I left the meeting and waited for Karleem who told me Hideyoshi had jobs for me or my own guild if I wanted it. 
Karleem warned me also not to give my heart to her for her kind breaks it often and I in the end spent one day and one night with her and left her house with a letter beside her saying Thank you. 
She also told me that day I shall fall for a women of my own kind who will make me smile non-stop and genuine and I shall know her because of skilly, I thought she was odd when she said that but that is something that was common I figured coming from Karleem. 
As I wondered around after the incident at my last guild I knew they would hunt me and they did but I never knew what they would do and how or how low they have become now. 
I was employed by Shin Sho a yakuza for random hits on corrupt politicians etc. as I was resting in a barn on the top floor I saw five former guild members of Chao’s clan who took advantage of a young girl after they left her I sent a note to Shin to get her as I went to hunt down my former allies.
I in the end killed four of them before I went back to Shin with the news of the said incident.

6th Mission: Kill the heart of Avalon Vivian:

Day 137: Sunday: I came in to see Shin he said he had a mission for me but I never expected it to be the one he gave me I wondered how the young girl was after what I saw happen to her but got rid of the thoughts straight away the nightmares are getting worse the faces never leave me alone now and my hand is burning badly now wish it would stop. 
The mission was to sneak into the Island of Avalon and kill the High Priestess Vivian and then get out but I heard of this place only the priestess can get rid of the mist that guards it if they want you to come to the Island but its also the training area of the Grail Knights as well the uber holy paladins or so they say I heard the found of Mithril city was born their bah who cares time to get this mission done anyway. 
Day 139: Tuesday: I was found by a priest of Avalon who saw apparently the mark of Avalon on my right hand this thing I said just gets burning me he told me I must go their to my home apparently and learn from the priests to find my true calling or so he thinks hehe gullible fool I thought as he actually took me across the lake and I saw the mists first hand and then they parted and I caught glimpse of a red haired women on the beach who then just vanished wonder who she was. 
Day 140: Wednesday: got taken to see the high priestess Vivian she was the red haired women and is very stunning she apparently knew me and knew of my destiny and why I am here I thought she was joking until she asked me when I wanted to kill her I was stunned and shocked and said nothing the Two Grail knights in the room looked alert and she put her hand onto my mark of Avalon and said “I can other you a much better life then that of a assassin I can show how to protect your self from your nightmares if you are strong enough to walk that path of course but that I leave up to you young Ashly” I was taken to my room and my assassins gear was removed from me that night was horrible the nightmares haunted my dreams and I woke up in a sweat apparently I also woke up the entire dormitory I was in screaming some unknown words in an unknown language for some odd reason not that I could remember. 
Day 141: Thursday: Vivian called for me and we talked all day she told me I have the potential to be a great Grail Knight like my father was I was unsure I knew I could not keep on doing my assassins job for that morning I thought I saw blood on my hands real blood my guilt must be getting to me for these hands have been stained for far to long, I asked her what can I do to get rid of this guilt and pain that I have lingering on to me like a ball and chains. 
The decision was up to me to make repent and become a grail knight and thus I choose that for me it might be the only way to apologise to those that I have wronged and killed for no reason then that of a killer and a job that was needed to be done by the guild master. 
I never knew hard it would be training though but it was and is very hard in training to become a Grail knight of Avalon.
Day 142: Friday: I went and saw Vivian to give my answer to her she was sat calmly over looking the lake from a vantage point and smiled kindly to me as she saw me coming and beckoned me to sit with her and I told her I can’t keep having these nightmares anymore they are driving me insane and making me go crazy and now I am seeing blood on my hands when I wash them and said is their any way that I can stop it and make it all go away Vivian told me calmly “stop running away from it then and making up excuses for it happening to you” I coughed me running away as if this women is now stupid so I left her thinking these nightmares would just vanish if I ignored them and hopefully just leave me alone, how wrong was I and stupid. 
That night the nightmares got worse and worse as if me ignoring them was making it worse in fact and I still refused to say I was running away from that fact so in the end I tried to get off the island did not work I kept coming back all the time and that was annoying me very much I swore at the gods this day. 
Day 143: Saturday: found out the only way off this island is by Vivian letting you so I had to do something drastic how about if I persuaded her to let me of the island so I started to compliment her and being very kind and in a way seducing her to let me of the island this did not go well when I was seducing her for her husband to come back from fighting evil to grab me by my hair and drag me to the lake and literally throw me into it and told me if I want a girl go find one myself and to grow up and grow a backbone with it and then walked off leaving me soaked thought from the dunking and due to that I was stopped being burnt and was forced to take the Grail Knight path due to it as well that knight I was to find out was none other then Sir Galantyn himself ugh I was in big trouble in training now. 
The Grail Training
As I was dragged by Sir Galantyn though my training in martial arts, I lost track of day’s and time in this land, as if there is no time flow at all, it seems women on the isle of Avalon are all priestesses, and the men are either priests or Grail knights. Apparently my coming home to this island was foretold by the lady of the lake herself.
The high priestess Vivian herself did not realize the fact I tried to seduce her to get off this island, Or did she? I can’t tell. 
I soon realized Vivian trained me in the arts of Divine magic as her husband taught me how to defend myself with sword, shield and lance on horse back, as well as on foot. However as I saw I did lack the necessary skill to use such weapons, as I was used to daggers, bow and needle’s in combat since I was formerly an assassin and thief. 
As I was being trained by these two I was foretold a prophecy by Vivian, but I did not believe it at all. Since I took everything I have seen or been told with a pinch of salt, due to fact of how I grew up in the gutter, like a murderer for so long. Had I forgotten back then what an honest life was? And maybe I was able to find out once and for all who my father was, and why he left me all alone for so long. Maybe he would like to have his son back? Or at least he might want to know me? Or we can talk and go our separate ways from there I guess. 

Now, first part of training I had forgotten everything I had gained, and had to start from scratch. Learning how to control my emotions to find inner peace and harmony. Now that was a tough one for me, since I lived by my emotions in the first place. Now they are asking me to forget them? And to become a statue?! Huh! No way!! I will never do that! It’s what I am, and what I would like to stay there. 
Sir Galantyn came and got me today, He found me watching the waves lap on the beach. He asked me to tell him what’s wrong? I said nothing, for I felt lost, alone, and for the very first time afraid. He must of known I have been seeing ghosts, or as I call it nightmares of my past. Now they have been getting worse, so I went to Vivian and asked for help. She told me “the best thing is to try and repent and make up for my past sins.” She also told me that one day when I am afraid, scared and lack the strength to face such, that a thing a young girl will take my hand and help me face it, by using her strength to protect me from those who are angry at what I had done in the past. So if she was me, she would concentrate in her training for I shall need it one day. I left her in deep thought going to the beach to organize my mind. When Sir Galantyn found me, Once more that day and asked if I wanted to finally start my Grail Knight training. I got up and looked at him and just nodded, I had to if I was to get rid of these nightmares of course. 

My very first day of serious training Galantyn and I where sparing with wooden Swords, we had our shirts off, it was in the third hour of sparing now I had just ducked out of blow that would of decapitated my head if it was a proper fight, thus I had to start to fighting back, I did this time I aimed a blow at his side he parried it and twisted my wrist which hurt like hell, Galantyn then performed strike aimed for my cheek, I let go of my sword and rolled backwards as the swipe missed me I then aimed a uppercut at him to his chin with my fist which shocked him but also put a smirk on his face as if I was beginning to learn now. He went at me every single day for about 4-5 months with serious training which included horse riding, lance work and sword and shield training. He started with the easy stuff but he found out I was a quick learner and with good potential of talent I was then thrown into the advanced training group. I was very well complimented by the fact he did this for me seeing as I was so used to be nothing but a gutter snipe, backstabber, murderer but now I have a chance to be one of the most respected warriors in the land a Grail Knight. 

After so many months of drills and sparing and riding on horse back I was then sent to Vivian for my Divine magic training. Now this gave me major headaches after the very first week or two but I had to perceiver I just had to but as I kept going and going Vivian worked out who I was but said to me “it was not my right to tell you for the person you need to talk to will come and tell you Ashley” 
At that time I had no idea what she meant but she also said I had an advantage due to my lineage to how good I am with my magical abilities and combat potential. If I concentrated I could do the impossible much like my father did when he was a grail knight himself I was also allowed to know so it seemed to me I had to live up to my fathers legend, as I saw and leant it was not so easy at all and in a way I wish it bloody well was, I started to have odd dreams of a young girl maybe it is the girl that will help me but I could not pick out her face or features but I was told when I see her I will know it was her straight away I hope she likes me when I see her I thought to myself. 
Like I said before I think in this log I lost track of day’s, month’s and maybe even years as far as I can tell I am 66yrs old not even sure of that anymore due to my mark I had an extended life span. Anyway but this island has no normal time zone as if time its self is extended or maybe stopped so the people living here live longer then normal mortal lives, I wonder if its due to the lady of the lakes influence in some way not entirely sure myself but would like to find out one day. I was told later that same day that I would be doing my first live mission with Sir Galantyn, this mission was a search and rescue and now I found out why I liked being a grail knight when we arrived at the town I was instantly glumped by women they could not leave me alone at all and now I liked the advantages of being it and I thanked that I got the chance to be one of them now. 
The rescue mission was in fact a priest, we went out into the mountains only to find the said priest having an affair with a young bar maid while his wife was panicking about where he was at the time. I was in giggle fits when I saw it and Sir Galantyn reprimanded me afterwards, but I learnt my lesson then I met her again when I was patrolling the lands, her I meant Blackfox she said she had something to tell but when she did I felt ill, sick and very angry at my Father my real father Sir Ferid a mortal Grail Knight was cursed into a life of un-dead but alive re-enacting what happened on the day of the curse. She also told me later that day she killed the gods that allowed it to happen in the first place I was relieved she did but also very angry still but I told her thank you for telling me and that I appreciated it was her saying it to me too. 

As weeks and months went by I did a lot of missions with Sir Galantyn a lot of them were rather boring. But we got a message from Vivian saying a Un-dead Grail Knight was on the loose and he’s already killed fifteen high ranking Grail Knights in single combat without taking a scratch, he’s already dispatched fifteen Avalon Priests, all we got some information about those types of combat he hit them without them knowing he was their as if he was watching them so be careful was end of the message. 
As we continued this mission we figured out this Un-dead Grail Knight was after Sir Galantyn himself. So we decided I should also be called Sir Galantyn to make it look like a bait and a trap, hopefully it would get this knight killed by us both if he attacked the wrong one but every time we got him in to that situation he got himself out I lost a little finger had it brought back and made anew by the priestess at Avalon. Vivian said after fifteen encounters with this said Grail Knight we had done well to survive this far I, started to do a lot of research on this Grail knight I found out his name is Sir Avalloc a very well known person and extremely powerful both in magic and combat skills a martial artist one could say a very tough opponent for Sir Galantyn and I. But since this is a Grail knight its also classed as Grail knight business to deal with as well. 

Now a bit more detail on this Sir Avalloc apparently he declared himself King of Avalon. Vivian did not answer any questions on it when I asked so I presume he was then, since he was king he’s very old and thus his combat skills would of got better and better along with his magic too, which is not a good thing for this land as its bad enough that Sir Galantyn has got aid from Northern Star herself and got that necklace and informed her about the Grail showing to much influence now, ugh the thing should be sent back to the gods in the first place if I have my way. 
Anyway Sir Galantyn has sent me to patrol the mountain pass apparently a small group is heading their now hoping it’s the young girl from the beach I saw that day. 
Onora’s Introduction
As I have put before in my journal about grail training I met a girl called Onora at the beach she had lovely fiery red hair and a charming smile to match. 
I went to the beach to relax from hunting un-dead and that bloody grail knight it was then I met her she asked me “was it safe to let my horse drink salt water?” I laughed and replied “yeah if it will kill him I will be glad” she knew I was joking though. 
Onora would not look at me much, must be due to my good looks or the grail knight charm, It did not help since I was topless at the time. She told me about her predicament with skilly and showed what it does when I saw it, I for some reason believed her completely still not sure why I just did, maybe due to fact I saw mark of Avalon on her hand. 

I eventually took her back to the Elvin city and to Shin Sho’s pub who actually said to me with her their “you two make a fine couple, lad make an honest wife out of her for me will you” Onora ran up stairs and locked herself in her room from that day on. 

The next time I saw Onora it was in a human town when I was strolling though with a pouch of platinum pieces on me. As I walked down the street I realized something was biting or cutting my purse strings I caught the culprit in time it was skilly! Onora’s scarab I looked for her and eventually spotted her, she was same as usual just like my dreams as of late. 
After I gave back skilly and told her that I recognized the mark of Avalon on her hand since I saw it at the beach. I told her when inside a pub that I needed her help to get back a set of very old and rare grail knight armour and to send back to Avalon, to my surprise Onora eventually agreed when she heard of the un-dead grail knight and after I gave her all the information that she needed at the time. 

We travelled up the mountain path only to meet Zak a drow in the service of legodia apparently to keep an eye on Onora herself. 
We continued onwards only to meet the un-dead Grail Knights recent victims I asked Onora and Zak to go ahead to Dragon Fortress as I purified the dead bodies before they are raised as un-dead, but I got ambushed by the knight and took a blow to my back. 
I eventually got to Dragon Fortress and went to the tavern to get some sleep that night, then the next day I walked around town and to the temple only to see Onora trying to kill her scarab in a mithril cage by dunking it in holy water, I said hi to her as I went to have a bath and to cleanse my wound on my back in holy water to hopefully cure it. 
I bathed my body in holy water and lucky for me I had bubbles covering my body for the most part since Onora came in and did something to my wound, whatever it was it fixed it and for the first time I think I admitted to myself I was in love with her. 
She left quickly and went back to the pub as I got changed and followed to thank her at least. As I followed Onora I tracked her down to her room which she locked it took me two to three hours to let me into her room their I stopped her from trying to escape out of the window and I think I genuinely felt worried about her, I eventually left the room to get us some drinks to hope to calm her down when I came back I had to pick the lock on the door to get myself in again. 

When I got in I only found her cutting the mark out of her hand I stopped her in time and poured alcohol onto her wound and wrapped it up in a clean bandage and then gave her a drink afterwards. We got drunk and things happened and we kept each others company and in the morning we could not remember what happened and it was an awkward wake up it did not help when I told her I loved her. 

We went our separate ways Onora went down south because she said she had to collect something down their, I felt sad at seeing her leave I wished her well and kissed her on the cheek as a parting gesture and I told her I loved her a lot but she had the expression that she did not believe me at all.
