The knights Lady
She runs down to the road to meet the riders. There are about thirty armored men on horseback. The banners and livery are black with a gold eagle. She does't recognize this Coat of Arms from any of her studies. This knight must be from beyond the borders of the realm.
A few of the men ride past her, and she shouts, to be heard above the jingle of harnesses and tack,"Hail worthy knight."
A Blonde man makes a hand signal and the entire column come to a stop within three steps. He is the most handsome man she has every seen. She quickly forgets Wil, her brother's Squire who she had been dreaming about since last summer. Until now he was the only boy she had ever kissed. But Wil's youthfull face and dark eyes slipped from her mind as she stood before this man. He sat tall on his horse, despite his heavy armor. His hair was cut short, as all the knights were, but the yellow strands shone like spun gold. She was completely mezmerized by him.
"What is wrong with you Girl? Are you Deaf." Her Wits slowly came back to her as she realized she was staring and did not hear a thing he said. Did he just refer to HER as GIRL. He is as arrogant as he is handsome, what a waste!
"You there, Girl! what is the fastest way to Castle Draken?" He spat the words out with annoyed disregard.
