Sargon came upon Kesh with his three prisoners about 1 hour after sunrise. He approached the gate and guards with his armor on. The guards saw his figure and immediately straightened themselves up, recognizing that he was a knight. The guard sergeant spoke when Sargon was close enough. " Good morning Sir Knight, welcome to Kesh, entry is free for honorable knights such as yourself. I am afraid the three ladies behind you must pay their person though."
Sargon replied quickly, "They are not guests, they are prisoners, bandits that trap travelers taking advantage of their goodwill towards them. If you could point me in the direction of where they can be detained, that would help. I have the head of the leader of the bandit group with me as well. I need to know where I could pick up his bounty if there is one of course."
The guard obliged Sargon, " You can take the wretches to the city guard station. The same station will also take the head and give the appropriate bounty for it. Thank you for your service in getting rid of the scoundrels. You may enter the city now Sir..."
"My name is Sargon Jupiter"
"...Jupiter, Welcome to Kesh."
Sargon walked into Kesh and immediately made his way to the guard station. He took in the city on the short walk there. Sargon arrived at the guard station and went in. The people within did not expect a visit from a knight, especially not so early in the morning. This made the guards and staff a little worried about the nature of his visit.
Before the guard at the front desk could speak, Sargon spoke first. "I have these three bandits that need to be imprisoned and brought to justice. I have the head of Sansans, the leader of Jagged Stones, the bandit group the three belong to with me in this bag. I have come to retrieve his bounty if there is one of course."
The guard motioned others to take the three away and responded hastily, "no problem Sir, Sansans has had a bounty for a while. His bounty is 50 silver coins. There is also a reward specifically for the capture of the three you brought in. That adds another 10 coins. There is also a reward for their annihilation, did you kill everyone else in the bandit group?"
"I did kill everyone else in the bandit group, none live. I left their bodies on the road too."
"Excellent work Sir, That adds 2 gold coins to the bounty you can collect for everything. May I know your name so I can record your feat? I also need your seal that bears your crest." While the guard was waiting, Sargon had to think when he said seal.
He then remembered that he had a ring crafted on Earth before he fell. He made it before the next battle so he could start building prestige for the new family name he wanted to announce afterward. It was made with the armor so he could wear it on his finger in battle with the armor on. He looked to his right ring finger to see that same ring with a blank seal. He remembered that there was a seal of a warhorse on it. Now he had a different image in mind. In his mind, he thought of the planet Jupiter surrounded by stars. The image was translated onto the blank seal, making it blank no more. "My name is Sargon Jupiter, here is my seal that bears my crest." Sargon watched with a smile as his new name and crest were recorded. He thought to himself, 'Finally, I have my own name, my own crest. I can finally build prestige for myself. A prestige none can take credit for besides me.'
Sargon left the guard station with his reward of 2 gold and 60 silvers. He was happy with the reward despite not knowing the economy of the realm. He felt it was fine. He decided to now see the city and learn more about it and the land it resides in. He couldn't help but have a smile seeing the city through his astral eyes. Of course, he could still see the poor and the disheveled in alleyways and streets, but he learned long ago to not let the ugly prevent you from enjoying the beauty. He walked the streets when he noticed a young girl selling flowers held in a heavily used basket. The girl who couldn't be older than 11 had black hair, slightly tanned skin, and dark brown eyes. She was dirty and poor at a glance but still smiled while trying to sell the flowers. Sargon held no disdain though. He always respected a person or young girl in this case who would do their best in life regardless of anything. This is why he frowned when the girl was pushed over by some fat prick and had her flowers stomped on. Such disrespect from an obvious gluttonous man was very undeserving. What is more, the man even struck the girl as he laughed. Such unfair cruelty could not exist without consequence in his eyes. It went against his code and his nature. He is a born knight, a talent on Earth, and his will bade him act.
"Stop your harassment immediately!". His voice resounded in the area. He walked up to the man and said, "How dare such a garbage man act towards this girl in such a way. No matter who, if they have the will to struggle through hardship with a smile, they deserve at least a little respect. Especially when they choose to not persevere using dishonest means. Heed my words and leave my sight immediately. Next time I see you doing something like this, you will lose your tongue and a limb. Begone!"
The fat man left immediately in fright without a word. The girl was sad her flowers were destroyed but happy she was helped by a knight. She had never seen a real knight before. The one before her was even more awesome than the ones described to her. A knight clad in silver armor on every inch of his body. A tall strong looking body with a grand posture. She excitedly said, "Thank your Sir Knight for helping me. I don't know how I can repay you for this."
"There is no need for repayment from you. If I took anything from, I would only sully my honor for receiving a reward from aid freely given. Although, perhaps I can hire you to show me the city for today and provide me general information?"
"I would be happy to do so. I can show you everything and I know a lot of things too! My name is Pharis". She was excited to show a knight around her city.
"Excellent Pharis. My name Sargon Jupiter, you may address me as Sir Jupiter. Here are 2 silver coins for your services for today Faris." He handed the coins to Faris who had a surprised expression.
"Sir Jupiter, this is too generous of you.". Even though Pharis couldn't see his face, she knew that he won't take no for an answer. Instead of protesting, she just decided to express her thanks. "Thank you very much, Sir Jupiter, I really appreciate it a whole lot."
Sargon had a small grin under his helm and said, "Then let us begin the tour of the city Little Pharis.". She responded with a strong nod and began walking on his left side. They were now walking through the city. A knight with a poor girl by his side. A sight you would never see normally, that had many turn their heads and leave their mouths agape.
