There's an epic tale to be told today. I've been thinking about it for about a day now, and I have a feeling that events will unfold that will extend this into what I hope will be a wonderful story with a beautiful ending. I know I did badly in the last time I tried to tell an online story. The code was too easy to break, the meanings too obvious, and the ending was just terrible, at least in the story, it had a happy ending in real life. But I'll try to do a little better this time round.
We begin with our knight and fair maiden, who shall not be named (doh! I think the code is broken), leaving the castle grounds to head to the training arena where preparations have been on the way for the final showdown that the knight would have to face. It's been 3 years of training and fighting for this knight, and no battle has he feared the most than the one he is about to encounter. Fair maiden of course, has no place in the battle grounds, but thats not to say she has no battles of her own, for back in the castle every night she fights to maintain her poise against the physical, academic, and domestic chores that await.
Training was tough, and the heat from the summer sun just made the ordeal worse. The knight and fair maiden were spotted taking a stroll through the gardens, but something looked amiss.
His heart is honest and true, but the words that he speak seem to fail him. He fights the anger that so easily arises, but his self control fails him. He hurts because deep inside he is truly sorry but he can think of nothing that will show it. He spends the next few hours preparing for D-day, all the while trying to think of something that will express his heart better than words.
She hurts because of his ignorance and foolish words. She wants him to be her knight, but he seems too caught up with his own issues to be any kind of knight. She wants him to understand, but does he really? His words seem so ordinary, and his anger seems to prevail. She wants to know that his actions are out of truth and not just words, but how will she know?
Will our knight ever be able to do anything to bring back the fair maiden? Will he survive his first day in battle?
