Introduction:

"Gather the rest of the knights."

"Captain, the King told us-"

"I do not particularly care at the moment, if the King knew there were Solies, he would have never sent us out here in the  middle of the night to patrol the forest."

"Pardon me, but pray tell what is a Solie?"

"Solies, terrible beasts that kidnap innocent humans for their own entertainment. Those shrieks you hear are not the shrieks of a banshee, if you must know. Now, go warn the King as fast as you possibly can; take my horse and go. Those wretched creatures may try to sneak into the castle tonight."

"Why tonight, Sir?"

"Why, tonight is the Prince's 18th birthday."

"Oh, right away Captain."

The knight promptly leaves on the Captain's horse, riding through the forest as fast as the  horse is willing to send the King the Captain's message. Just as the Captain is about to make the signal for retreat, another knight approaches; his broken, rusted armour with bite marks all around tells his story of his encounter with a Solie, but what is in his hands tells another tale all together.

"Captain..."

"Yes-God Lord what happened to you! Where is Sir Dustin?"

"He-ummm...."

"Well?"

"We were patroling the West side when this beast attacked us. It took him, Captain. All that is left of him, is his muddy black boot."

"What? There is something inside. Is that a note?..."

"Yes, Captain. I believe it is written in his blood-they are threatening us."

"What? Tell me, what does it say? Have you read it?"

"It says 'Give us the Prince'"
