He smiled at her as she place the flower behind his ear and chuckled silently, "Yeah, we will need to be back on the road as soon as possible." Then he heard a noise, like footsteps running through the forest. Felix turned around and looked for the source of the noise, then suddenly an arrow shot just inches from his face, and hitting the side of a tree. The young knight flinched and as he looked to where the arrow came from, a nasty looking, brute of a man appeared through the trees. The man smiled, showing his grotesque and deformed teeth.
"Well look what we have here," The man's voice was deep and scratchy, "Are you poor little ones lost?" A smile stretched across the hideous man's face.
"Victoria, stay behind me." Felix stands up, grabbing his sword and shield and holding then, ready to swing at any moment.
