Maria felt a little sad when the fox ran off and let out a little sigh and soon saw Gabriel get close to where she and the fox was and listened to him hum then watched the fox come back over and watched him eat frm her hand which made her smile. "That was amazing sir Gabriel how did you do that?" She asked him but ket her eyes on the little fox and slowly move her hand towards its head and gently petted the little guy and she smiled at the little guy for she wanted to keep him now but she did not want to take him away from its family or where it feels more comfortable. "Such a cute little guy I wish I could take you with me you could be my little traveling buddy." She said with a smile.

The fox cackled and rolled onto its back wanting to gets its stomach rubbed it looked at gabriel and made some noises. the knight looked at the fox amused and made the sounds back it cackled and jumps around happily running in circle "it said it would love to go along as long as my dog doesn't eat it" smiles slowly. the dog growled gently but gabriel looked back at it slowly. he smiles "i learned some thing from a nature spirit and i learned to understand what animals say" said slowly.

Maria laughed at the little fox for she thought it was so cute and she rubbed the little guys belly when he rolled onto his back before it started to run in circles and heard Sir Gabriel say taht the fox would love to come along and she smiled for she was happy to hear that and picked the little guy up. "That is great I get a little traveling buddy." She siad as she listend to Gabriel explain how he leanred to understand animals and thought it was very interesting. "Wow now taht is truely amazing I never meet anyone like you before sir Gabriel you truely are an amazing person." Maria said as she held the little fox in her arms and scratched under its chin. "Now then does this little guy already have a name or should I give him one?" She asked with a smile on her face.

The fox made a strange sound and the commander nodded "Oliuko is it's name." He smiles softly but was troubled when he hears he was an amazing person but he knew well enough he wasn't at all. He looked at the for that wagged its tail.

"Oliuko.........hmmm can I just call you Olly for short for your name is a little hard to say." Maria said to the little fox with a smile as she gently scratched behind his ears and watched his tail wagged and it just put a smile on her face. "Alright breakfast is ready come and get it." The guard said and Maria got up while still holding Oliuko and walked over to get breakfast for her and her new friend. The guards gave her some food and she ate some of it but also feed it to Oliuko so he would have breakfast also.

The fox giggled and cackled slightly as it was happy about it all. It sniffed the food slightly and wagged its tail happily and lays in her arms and eats slowly happily his orange fur glowing in the sunlight. Gabriel went back and didn't eat not hungry after his last night feed so he shook his head to the guard that ffered him food smiling gentl

Maria smiled and laughed at her new fox friend. "You are to cute Olly." She said to it and was just happy while she also ate her breakfast. Once everyone was done everything was packed up and ready to go. One of the guards went up to Gabriel. "I never seen the princess smile this much before not since her mother passed away a few years ago that little fox has really perked her up and you have really made her happy along with your animals." The guard said before getting on his horse while Maria got in the carriage as the driver of the carriage got ready to leave also and awaited orders from their commander.

The commander gets onnhis black horse and trotted down the road infront of everyone watching the world troough eyes of a vampire, seeing all hidden traps and things normal people are blind to. He smiles gently as he just needed to get the princess off to this prince. They came toa stop at a stream where horses allowed to drink. Olly made happy noses

Maria laughed as Olly made happy noises and let him out of the carriage to stretch his little legs and get a drink himself. Maria also got out to stretch a little and kicked her shoes off and placed her feet in the water. "Oh the water is freezing cold." She said with a small giggle and the guards laughed a little at Maria. "It's not going to be the same back home without Maria." They said a little sad but could not go back on the kings orders. Maria picked her dress up so it would not get wet and had fun getting her feet wet in the stream and did a small twirl in it while smiling and laughing. Olly joined in and got his fur all wet.

The German nodded slowly watching the princess and fix jump around in the stream and smiles gently. He pet his horse that drank water along with his dog. He gets a leaf and gets his tiny bat a small water puddle to drink from.

Maria had fun in the stream with Olly but soon got out so her feet would dry and Olly shook splashing water from his fur onto Maria making her laugh. She went back to the carriage and got a towle from it and wrapped Olly in it and dried him off. "There we go all dry now." She said as she let Olly out of the towle so he could run around still and enjoy the rest of their stop break. Maria decided to walk around a little in the area, staying in the guards eye sight, justing wanting to explore a little.

Gabriel kept them going till night and sat down near the fire and looked down slowly at the world. h looked around slowly. His dog sat down slowly smiling gently. He closed his eyes slowly watching night sky slowly.

Marai was fast asleep in her tent with Olly curled up next to her for it was a long fun day they had next to the stream just playing for once. But she was having a really bad nightmare, it had started off as her when she was little playing with her mother and even smiling with father but it changed dramatically when she was in front of her mothers grave and her fatehr stopped talking to her and walked away. Maria tried to catch up with him but she could not. After a while she was back to her normal age but she was in a wedding dress and she was about to marry the prince or king whatever he was she was scared for he grabbed her wrist and started hurting her and she cried for help but no one came in her dream. Maria quirmed a lot beore sitting up quickly gasping and had sweat coming down her face. she looked around trying to remember where she was and reconized the tent and sighed in realief. "It was just a bad dream nothing more a bad dream." She mumbled to herself as she got up leaving Olly to sleep as she walked out of the tent and saw Gabrial with his eyes closed and snuck away from the camp to find a lake or something so she could splash her face with water and try to calm herself down.
