Crystal had the wind knocked out of her as she was roughly dragged from the carriage, and onto the ground to meet whatever fate her captor had in store for her. She often heard stories of village girls being assaulted in the villages by men, but she never expected to be a victim to any of it. She scooted back onto the grass, trembling and glaring at the Black Knight with hate filled eyes, wondering what to do and fearing for her father's safety more than ever. Two more knights revealed themselves, clad in the same armor as the one in front of her. Crystal's heart sank as she eyed the weapons in their hands. It was clear to her that this would be her last day alive...

Just when she thought all hope was lost, a noble steed and a Knight of another sort entered the scene. Crystal looked over quickly, watching the confrontation unravel right before her eyes. She appeared to be frozen in place, unable to respond to what was happening around her. All of the blood, and sounds of metal clashing against together. How did this happen? 

 [b]"Are you alright, m'lady?" [/b]

Crystal blinked, a single hot tear rolling down her cheek as she looked up at the honorable Knight. Her vision had been restored, free of tears now. She extended a gloved hand to accept the hand, but then dropped her hand back onto the grass to help herself up. Looking up at the man suspiciously, "I...I can get up just fine, thank you." she folded her arms across her chest. A rustling from within the carriage could be heard, and her father, dressed in [url=http://i61.tinypic.com/2qdu0xt.jpg] the finest robes[/url] - fit only for a King - emerged with Lily by his side. The King rubbed his head, the puzzled expression quickly replaced by one of horror and shock.

"Cry...Crystal!" He rushed over to her, wrapping his arms around her tightly, the giant rabbit following closely behind. Crystal pried her way free, and looked up to her handsome father. "I'm fine, father. Calm yourself." She said softly, brushing herself off and turning to face the Knight. "This honorable Knight rode in on his valiant steed and saved my life." She waved at the Knight as if she were presenting him.

"Is this true? Remove your helmet so that The King may look upon you." The silver haired man said sternly, though his voice was carefree, like his life hadn't just been threatened.
