Once opon a time. Far off in a land of sun. A small girl lived in a Village deep in the valley. Day in and out she did her duties of the home. For she was the only one of her kin left to care for her elderly mother.Every night the girl would read her stories and look up in the sky and imagine for a better place far off from the home she found herself. Alone in her world, she continued through the motions of her existence. Doing just enough that kept her and her mother cared for. But one day, a terrible beast attacked her humble village, while All the good men sworn to protect it were off to distant lands to return riches to the poor town.
No one seemed to be able to fight the beast.
The monster stormed the village ruining homes and and eating all the food stored. And while the rest of the women and children fled. The girl stood up against the beast with nothinh but a pitch fork. Something happened inside the girl. She came to realise a great gift in herself, she was without fear.
She lunged herself towards the monster. Doing what she could to try and scare it off. With one hard swing of the monsters claws she was thrown away. As she stood again to face the monster. From behind her approached someone, A wounded knight on a scarlet steed stepped down from his horse to lend a hand to the maiden. Together, Standing with the knight the girl was able to slay the beast. Her taking a final blow at its heart. In a puff of smoke the beast disappeared in the wind. And as the village gathered to see the aftermath the knight dropped to his knee in pain. The girl was no stranger to remedies of her heritage. And took the lone knight in to care for him. In only a night. The girls life has changed for all of a sudden she felt she had a purpose. And her life had become what she dreamt for. Over months. The the village was rebuilt and the food stores filled. Only now the girl spent her time healing the knight. From dusk till dawn the girl spent with the knight. A mutual fondness growing between them as the knight taught and showed her wonders of lands far from what she has known. Soon enough the knight felt at home with her and did what he could to help around the village. Spending his nights with the girl. And when apart, in their dreams they were together still till they came together again in the day.
Joy and color filled the world for them both. But alas. It was short lived. The Knight, you see, was posessed. A demon that not even the pure love and all the remedies the girl concoted could cure him. With heavy heart, and pain strangling his soul. The knight had to go. To go fight the demon that keeps him ill. Knowing only when the demon was expunged could he return and honor the young girl as he truelly knows is right. As the knight rode off in the twilight sun. The young girl wept as her love went away and The shadows creeped towards the villiage once again.
The young girl returned to her daily duties, caring for her mother, tending the gardens. And as time passed she grew ever more beautiful. And many suitors came to her door with promises of a happy future. But none would sucessede in winning her heart forever the way her knight conquered her nightmares. So today she still waits for her knights return. And even in sorrow she finds some solace in knowing. No matter how hard the loneliness was , or how far apart they were. The young girl was always with her knight every time she dreamt. And she knew with her soul, that she was always in the heart and dreams of her brave knight.
"Untill we meet again, ever truly yours. Your brave Knight."
