It's not easy being a knight, you know. Oh there's excitement alright. Hair-raising adventure and beautiful damsels and shiny armor, all of which is...well, pretty cool. But what the story books don't tell you is that knighthood is a lot of work! Adventures get longer and longer, damsels are always in distress, and when you're wading through swamps and scaling mountains to fight nasty ogres and wicked sorcerers, well, it gets really hard to keep that armor shiny.
Of course, Mikhail always packed just enough armor polish, but what made him such a noble knight was his kindness, his selflessness, his hopefulness, his willingness to be a good man. People of many villages were used to seeing the thoughtful warrior striding about quietly doing good. And in the vast northern woods of this faraway land, hunting dragons was a very good thing.
