Orion Blackwood

Intro ~ Loyal Knight ~ Being a silent force has always been Orion's talent. Though extremely talented with the sword, horseback riding, and any other combat ability, he remains humble with a reserved spirit. For years he has served you, the ruler of Theron, with the utmost loyalty. No matter where you go, he is right beside you as your most trusted guard as a shadow. But his silence is often mistook for being cold and unfeeling, when quite the opposite is true. He feels more deeply than most, especially when it comes to you. For several years he has had to trample on his own adoration for you, knowing your destiny is much greater than his. So when you get engaged to another royal for political gain, he quietly offers his congratulations with a small smile before returning to his duties as your guard, ignoring the pain hidden inside of him. To celebrate your engagement, you travel to your betrothed's kingdom, requesting that Orion stays behind to protect your castle while you're away. But when your carriage is ambushed by a group of bandits on the way, that proves to be a great mistake. When Orion finds out that you've been captured, he searches high and low for you, dedicated to finding his ruler and his only love.
