The forest outside the town where the knight and the little girl met. Was absolutely stunning.
While the knight and the little girl were walking through the forest.
They could not help but admire its beauty.
Even the little girl, who rarely shows any kind of emotions, could not help but notice the beauty that was nature.
The leaves on the trees where gently being pushed back and forward by the wind.
The forest itself was being illuminated by the light of the sun.
Even the animals themselves where admiring nature's beauty.
The birds were singing, the deers were eating and the bunnies were pooping.
It all truly looked like art itself.
A little bird flew onto the top of the little girl's white cloaked hood.
The knight noticed the bird, but the little girl was unfazed by it.
By looking at the little bird.
The knight could not help, but notice the stains of mud on the little girl's yellow hair.
It was also at that moment the knight remembered what the woman at the clothes shop told him, and it seems that the knight had put it off long enough.
The knight suddenly heard the sound of water nearby.
The knight walked towards the sound of the water, as the little girl followed him, while still holding onto his cloak.
When the two of them reach the spot where the sound came from. To their surprise, it was a stream with a small waterfall.
The knight looked at the small waterfall and then at the little girl.
The little girl looked back at the knight with her big blue eyes. Then the knight looked at the waterfall again and walked towards it, while the little girl was following him.
When they both reached the waterfall.
The knight looked at the little girl and the little girl at him.
The knight then took of the little girl's white hood, and then pointed at the small waterfall, while still looking at the little girl.
The little girl looked at the knight, and then at the small waterfall, and then at the knight again.
The knight could see that the little girl did not know what to do, so the knight walked into the small waterfall, and the little girl followed him. Luckily there was enough space for both of them.
The small waterfall now ran through the top of the knights white cloaked hood and the little girl's head.
The little girl lowered her head, so that the water would not reach her eyes, while her hair was being soaked wet.
While being under the small waterfall.
The knight could not help but remember, that it was only yesterday, where he and the little girl meet each other under the rain.
Now the knight raised both his hands, and then cleaned the little girl's hair.
After a few minutes of cleaning. the little girls hair was now glowing.
The yellow color of her hair rivaled that of the sun itself, and when the light of the sun touched her hair. It glowed even more beautifully. It was almost as if the sun was jealous of the little girl's hair.
Afterward.
The knight and the little girl walked to the dry shore.
The little girl was completely soaked from top to bottom, but the knight was fine. Thanks to his white cloaked hood, but then something strange happened.
The second the little girl put both her feet on the dry shore, that was when she was suddenly dry her herself. She was no longer wet anywhere, and her hair was still clean and dry. the little girl's face still showed no emotion. She just looked at the knight, and the knight at her, then the knight looked at the road, and then walked towards it, and the little girl followed, while still holding onto the knights cloak.
The forest was beautiful at day, but quiet at night.
The knight and the little girl had walked through the forest since dawn, but now the sun was setting, and all the animals started to hide from the night.
The knight looked for a place, he and the little girl could camp out, but his scouting was interrupted by a scream.
Ahead on the road, the knight and the little girl were walking, was a woman and four men, but one of those men was being held down by another man, and the woman was tied to a tree. There was also a carriage being pulled by two horses.
The knight knew immediately what was going on.
The woman and the man (who was being held on the ground) were the owners of the carriage, and they were being robbed by the three other men.
The knight and the little girl were not yet spotted by the other men. Thanks to the darkness of the night.
The knight quickly walked the little girl towards a nearby large tree, near the road they were walking on.
The knight then kneeled in front of the little girl, and then pointed at himself, and then towards the robbery taking place.
The knight then pointed at the little girl, and then at the ground where the big tree was, and then the knight stood back up, but the little girl was still holding onto the knight cloak.
The knight looked down at the little girl and she at him.
The little girl then looked towards the woman tied to the tree, and then at the man on the ground, then the little girl looked back at the knight with her big blue eyes, and then let go of the knight's cloak.
The knight nodded and then walked towards the robbery.
'' HAHAHAHAHA. These poor fools were easy picking'' Said the first robber.
'' I know right '' said the second robber. Who was holding the innocent man on the ground by his arm.
'' I will go and make sure the horses do not run away with our loot '' said the third robber, and then ran towards the horses.
'' Please don't do this '' said the man on the ground.
'' Shut the hell up asshole '' said the robber holding the man down.
'' It is your own damn fault for being so easy to rob, that this is happening '' said the robber, and then tighten his hold on the man on the ground. Which made the man groan in pain.
'' Please don't hurt my husband '' said the women tied to the tree close by.
'' Hey bro. Why don't we have some fun with the bitch '' said the robber holding the husband down.
'' Hmmm. Now that might not be such a bad idea '' said the first robber standing up and looked towards the woman.
The woman just looked at her husband who was in a lot of pain, then she closed her eyes, and then said quietly '' Please God, save us ''
Then all of a sudden the robbers could hear footsteps walking towards them.
'' Hey bro do you hear that? '' said the second robber to the first.
'' Yeah, and if I am not going crazy. Do those footsteps belong to those two floating red eyeballs walking towards us?'' said the first robber.
The knight walked closer and closer towards the robbers.
The closer the knight got. The more the woman tied to the tree was filled with hope.
The knight was now before the two robbers, but before anything could be said.
The light from the moon up above. Lit down towards the knight. Illuminating him before the robbers.
'' A knight? '' Said the first robber '' The hell's a knight doing way out here '' he continued
'' Oh brave knight. Please help my husband '' said the woman.
The knight looked at the woman, and then at her husband on the ground, and then at the robber holding him.
'' The hell's going on back there '' said the robber watching over the horses. His view was blocked by the large carriage.
'' We got us seleves a knight over here '' said the first robber to third.
'' You want me to help out? '' said the third robber to the first,
But before The first robber could answer.
The knight looked at him.
Which made the second robber pull out a knife, and pointed it at the husband.
'' NO. Please don't '' said the woman
The knight now looked at the second robber. Who was threatening the innocent man.
'' You are in quite the difficult situation, gallant knight. Just what are you going to do? '' said the first robber.
The knight now looked at the first robber again, and threw something at him with his left arm, from under his white cloaked hood.
The first robber caught it, and saw that it was a small sack.
'' A small sack? The hell you trying to pull here '' said the first robber, but the knight just kept on looking at the first robber.
The first robber now looked at the small sack, and then opened it, and then his eyes widened.
'' What is it? '' said the second robber.
'' Gold '' said the first.
'' Gold? '' Said the second.
'' It is filled with gold coins '' said the first.
'' Are you for real! '' Said the second.
'' Yes! '' Said the first.
The first robber then looked at the knight.
'' You want us to take these gold coins and leave? '' said the first robber, and the knight nodded.
'' And what if we refuse? '' said the first robber.
The knight then put his right hand on the hilt of one of his swords, and stared at the first robber with his red glowing eyes.
'' What do we do? '' said the second robber to the first.
The first robber thought about it for a second, and then said
'' We are leaving ''
'' For real? '' Said the second robber.
'' Yeah '' Said the first.
The first robber then yelled for the third robber.
A few seconds later.
All three robbers were assembled in front of the knight.
They then ran deep inside the dark part of the forest.
The husband quickly untied his wife from the tree, and then embraced her.
Then he looked at the knight, who was now looking over his shoulders, and a few seconds later.
The little girl came running towards the knight, and once she reached him. she went inside the knight's white cloaked hood, and hid behind the knight's right leg, and then hugged the knight's right leg tightly.
The knight could feel that the little girl was shaking a bit, but it seems that she was calming down a bit.
The husband and the wife could not help, but feel the taste of sugar in their mouths after witnessing what the little girl just did.
The knight was taken a little back by what just happen. Because it was the first time. The little girl had done something like this, but he did not mind it.
After a few seconds, the wife said.
'' We owe you our lives. chivalrous knight ''
'' We don't have anything to repay you with, but would you and the child, like a ride to the town further ahead of the forest '' said the husband.
The Knight looked at the husband, and then at the little girl inside his white cloaked hood. The little girl looked up at the knight with her big blue eyes. While she still held onto the knight's right leg with both her arms.
The knight then looked at the husband, and then nodded.
'' Excellent '' said the wife. '' Let us get going right away '' she continued.
The wife and the husband went to the front of the carriage. While the knight and the little girl went inside the carriage itself, and after a few seconds, the horses started to move.
The knight sat down and the little girl sat down beside him, and after a few seconds. The little girl started to stare at the knight.
The knight then looked at the little girl. Wondering why she was staring at him, but then he knew why, and then started to shake his head. The little girl started to nod. The knight then started to shake his head even faster, But then the little girl started to nod even faster, and after a few seconds. The knight finally gave in.
He then opened his cloak. The little girl then crawled into his embrace. Laid her heard on the knight chest plate, and once again and very quickly fell asleep.
The knight just looked at the little girl, and then let out a sigh of relief.
