The village of Ravendale, known for its iconic fruit beverages was a well known site for King Jonathon II's men returning to the forbidden kingdom, the kings head guard Draco and his noble men with steeds, headed into the local tavern - The Raven & The Ring, the smell of the freshly made beverages, the chanting of the locals being very mellow - Draco usually called this his home away from home.
As Draco and his men were enjoying their drink celebrating the completion of their successful quest - defending the nearby town of Summerton, recalling their adventure as one of the taverns new serving-girls Luci placed drinks for Draco and his men down on the long wooden table and benches.
The following morning the kings knights mounted and headed towards the forbidden kingdom as they passed through the villages and towns, the sound of horses echoed through the small sleepy inlets. The convoy soon approached the village of Thunder Falls the last place before the final push into the forbidden Kingdom, villagers walked onto the streets to watch the procession slowly travel through, With Local shop keepers placing goods and items into the satchels of the kings guards as they pushed towards the castle.
Close to the end of the village a young lady with long black hair exited the local flower-shop as she stepped into the snow instead of a shiver up her spine warm memories helped keep the cold away. The afternoon sun making her heart just as warm the young lady closed her eyes as memories came flooding back 'Look father the horses look so pretty.' Draco who glanced back at the hand-maiden just smiled as they left the village bound for the castle.
