This story explains the origin of the knight statue in a certain town's square, commemorating how the ghost of a fellow knight's sister helped him reunite with his beloved.
The basic bones of the story, as Dorian performs it:
A regiment of knights is told that a rival king is threatening to invade, and they need to prepare for battle. The hero of our story, being a new recruit, is excited to see battle for the first time. That night, the ghost of one of his fellows' sister appears to him and (believing our hero to be her brother) warns him that the rival king is not all he appears to be, and teaches him how to spellsing.
As preparations for the battle mount, odd misfortunes befall the troops (the rival king's demonic scouts), but our hero sets things right every time with his spellsong. (what these are and how many depends on Dorian's mood.)
These misfortunes culminate in the princess of that kingdom (who our hero secretly loves) being kidnapped. But the ghost helps our hero save her (this section of the story is often told as a story in itself)
In the end,the rival king is defeated, our hero and the princess are married, and our hero gets the statue erected in his honor, which you can still see in that city today.
