Barbara Gordon Arkham Knight Novels & Stories

In that moment, standing on the dusty stairwell of the old school, Elaine realized her dream of becoming a Knight of Artharia was dead. Swallowing the knot in her throat, she pulled herself together and stepped out of the stairwell into the hall. To Elle, crying was done only in the worst of moments, when the fight was gone, and a person found themselves in the shadows of their own destruction, all alone. It was no surprise that she couldn’t stand Leana; Elaine didn’t know how to sort out feelings, let alone be consumed by them.

“What do you mean? Who is watching?” “Agatha,” her mother interjected, her expression turning grave. “The High Priestess Agatha. She has been alive for over a thousand years, fueled by dark magic and a thirst for power. She senses your potential and will come for you. You must be cautious.” “But I want to fight back!” Aqua exclaimed, desperation threading through her words. “I don’t want to hide anymore. I need to know how to harness my powers.”

This swine told you that? "She's definitely delusional." "I would never send her to a horrid place like the isle of thorns." She snickered. "She's right your majesty, my mom would never do that, she's the nicest being on earth, with a heart of gold." Amelia said in her mother's defense. Her face had turned pale when she saw me in Derrick's arms. "Our queen is a wonderful person your majesty." "Gwen is a known liar, our queen would never send her on such a dangerous quest." Morgana who had been static all along chipped in. "I read minds too." Derrick reminded them. They all turned pale with fear. "Consider this a warning, don't touch a hair on Gwen's head." He warned the flustered wolves.

I ask with a pout. “Believe it or not little one, my tire exploded on the way here” she says, no that’s something that might happen to normal humans not someone named the Devil. “Oh you don’t believe me, I had to change the tire and clean myself before coming” she says with a shake of her head, she did the dirty job herself. She doesn’t look like she changed a tire, more like she just got off a runway with her perfect figure. “I’ll go with the sewer job, and no you were hunting batman” I say with a sigh, this makes much more sense for me.

I was irritated that they even asked me about it. They only possessed a C-rank power, yet they regarded themselves as superior to the locals. I had no idea a C-rank knight could have so much face or pride. The guards could notice the young master's irritated expression. They experienced an unexplainable chill up their spine. "I must be hallucinating," one of the guards reasoned as he shook his head. "That is a command. Go." The guards hesitated for a short while before grabbing a spear and joining the others. Each of them has reasonable strength for a Slayer family guard. Even more remarkable was the guard captain. The Baron himself was the only person stronger than the Guard Captain, Gordon

“Is that a crime?” “No,” I said, biting back a smile. “It’s just... unexpected. You know, with you being a woman and everything, I would have thought that you would be interested in different things.” She tilted her head. “You forget I was trained for this. I wasn’t meant to be a pawn in some alliance. I was supposed to lead. And me being a woman does not change who I am, Alpha Nolan.” There it was. That fire. That reminder that she wasn’t here because she begged to be.
