He had to come up with something to tell his parents. He thought of asking if he can go camping. Or maybe lie and say he was going with one of his friends. He needed to get away for awhile. He packed up his book bag with some food and clothes. He plan on just leaving a letter on the table before leaving. He wrote a few words and left it there so they can find it later. It was very early in the morning when he left.
There was fog everywhere he looked. He reached the Forrest a short time later. Moving slow through a path that was there. He felt a breeze brush his hair away from his face as he kept moving further. An hour has gone by and he still haven't seen anything but tree's. He kept going knowing sooner or later he will find something. Another hour has gone by and now he started feeling tired. He set down to take a break for a few minutes. And kept going!
The Forrest was quite for some reason , remembering his last time he was here. Looking around to see if he can see any landmarks of any kind. He thought of just saying something but he hasn't ever been too far in the Forrest before.
Moving on down the path, he thought he saw something moving. Or following him. Still moving but with his eyes and ears open so he can hear who it was. He started moving faster now. Trying to get farther up away from who was following. He moved so fast, he was able to hide behind a tree. He standed there waiting for them to pass.
As the small figure moved closer, he can feel his heart beating faster. Just as it passed he jumped out from behind the tree. The person fell to the ground scard . Who are you and why are you following me for.
The figure, not knowing what I was going to do said "" wait"" He stood up and brushed off his pants. Let me explain "' I'm an Halfling"" this is my home. He was really short for a person. My hand was as big as his head. His feet was bare and his ears was pointed.
Why was you following me for, I asked in a ferm voice. He looked at me scard like a child being scolled by a parent. I wanted to find out who you was! He explained ""There hasn't been anyone here In a long time. He states my name is ""Belard"" and my people are scard of outsiders.
My Name is Brandon and I am just passing through. Belard looked at his ring and fell to his feet."" My lord"" why didn't u say u was here. Confused on what just happened! Do u know me?
Belard pointed to my ring , that is the """Kings Ring"""
You must be mistaken I just received this Ring. Belard moved to get a better look at the ring. It was silver with gold symbols The Star, and The Moon, And Sun. But this Ring had a Dragon on it as well. I apologize. The last time I saw this Ring it didn't have a Dragon on it.
You saw this Ring before? When,where, and who had it? I asked him.
Belard looked at me for a moment and says. A tall guy used to come here and he had magical powers. He stated he will come back when he left, but that was very long time ago. Was he talking about his father. And if so why did he call him the king.
So how did he become a king "" Belard smiled! You see, we was In a lots of trouble with the Giants. And he stopped them from killing us. And from that day on. We all have vowed he was our king.
Now that is the ring he had! but how or why the Dragon is there now I have no idea.
Reaching inside my pocket I pulled out a picture of my father. Is this the person? Showing the picture to him.
Belard states """Yes""" that is him!!!
