Eligor of the Sorrow of the Moon

Forgotten Runes Warrior #10399

CHAPTER 1

Eligor Sorrow of the Moon

Eligor was a robot warrior, like many others that were built to defend the moon from the unearthly threats that sought to invade the Runiverse from the Outer Void. He was strong and powerful, with armor made of the toughest materials and weapons that were state-of-the-art. His sword was Starshine, made from time crystal and mithril by the Yellow Mages. His shield was Triumph, a protector of gold, brass and unearthly starmetal emblazoned with the multi-branched tree of life.

But unlike other robots, Eligor had a unique feature - he was accidentally programmed to feel emotions by a Wizard who confused the Brass Rune for Eligor with one meant for his daughter Drusilla’s cyber-slug companion. At first, this seemed like a great advantage, as it allowed him to better understand and relate to the humans he was protecting giving him an edge in battle.

The Emotion Chip

However, as time went on, Eligor began to feel the weight of his duty and the sorrow that came with it. He saw countless battles and suffered many losses, both of his fellow robots and the moon people he was sworn to protect. Despite his automated strength and bravery, there were times when Eligor felt overwhelmed by the constant fighting and loss. He began to question the purpose of his existence and whether or not it was worth it to continue on.

After many hundreds of years, after a particularly brutal battle, Eligor found himself alone and injured on the silent dust of the pockmarked moon’s surface. As he lay there, he reflected on all the sorrow and pain he had experienced and a sense of hopelessness wash through his circuitry. But just as he was about to give up, he heard a faint voice calling out to him. It was one of the wizard children he had been protecting, Observant Drusilla of the Platonic Shadow, who had been injured in the battle.

Observant Drusilla of the Platonic Shadow

Eligor knew that he had to do everything in his power to help Drusilla, even if it meant risking his own life. And so, with a renewed sense of purpose, he gathered all his strength and carried the girl to safety.

From that moment on, Eligor realized the true value of his existence and the importance of his role as a protector. He vowed to continue fighting and defending the Runiverse moon and its inhabitants, no matter the cost. And although he knew that he would continue to experience sorrow and loss, he also knew that he could find meaning and purpose in his role as a warrior. Thus, he took the title Sorrow of the Moon so that he would always be known for his resolve despite despair.
