HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022—)

You go out on one errand for your sister and suddenly everyone wants you to stand in the grave of a man whose hubris brought him only death and ruin so they can dim the light in your eyes by casting the shadow of their nihilism over you but as a knight named Gawain Gwayne you have a subconscious instinct for this kind of bullshit and you’d like to just do a normal quest and maybe get a laurel thank you very much so you’re like alright yes I see that your white armor no longer shines and your seat is casting a broken halo behind you can w— yes I see that the symbol of state power is a necklace of hands around your neck which already figuratively choked the life out of you ca—oooh my god YES I know you clearly intend to harp on this metaphor by using the unwarranted authority granted to you by your station to spitefully hang everyone else with the noose around your own neck we don’t have t— dude YES I can SEE you intend on committing a crime so craven and heinous that it’ll blacken my soul beyond repair too thus shattering my idealistic morals as a knight and leaving me at beast soaked in the blood of the innocents I swore to protect. I fucking got it, I’m specifically trying to avoid that can I PLEASE go home and not do this shit for once. And the answer is no.
