Once upon a time, three was a lone knight named Natelion. He had a brave heart and a strong will, but he was also shy and introverted. Natelion had always been alone in the world, and although he had his horse and his sword, he longed for the companionship of someone who appreciated him for who he was.
One day, Natelion was patrolling his kingdom when he heard a cry for help. It was coming from a nearby village, and he knew had to act fast. Natelion quickly mounted his horse and galloped toward the village, his sword drawn. When he arrived, he saw a group of bandits holding a woman and a young girl captive. The bandits were robbing and terrorizing the villagers, and Natelion knew he had to stop them.
Natelion decided to be as quiet as possible and wait until the bandits were occupied. He watched as they marched the villagers out of the village, and he saw the fear in their faces. Natelion knew he had to do something to protect the villagers and his own people.
He swiftly attacked the bandits, cutting them left and right. The villagers cheered and rushed toward Natelion, believing him to be a hero. Natelion was anything but a hero, though. He had never been trained as a knight and had never really wanted to be one. But something about this situation made him realize that he had a purpose in life.
After his battles against the bandits, Natelion returned to the village to find a young girl waiting for him outside the village gates. She was no more than ten years old, and Natelion immediately fell in love with her. The girl named Mara, had a huge smile and most beautiful eyes Natelion had ever seen.
As they talked, Natelion realized that Mara had a kind heart and was not afraid to talk to a lonely knight like him. She listened intently when he spoke, and it was as if she understood every word that he said. Before he knew it, Natelion had made a friend in Mara.
Natelion began to spend more and more time with Mara, and he also began to train her to become a warrior like him. He taught her how to use a sword, how to ride a horse, and others. Mara began to flourish under Natelion's guidance, and he watched as her confidence grew.
As the dacade passed, Natelion realized that he had fallen in love with Mara. He had never felt this way about anyone before, and he knew that he would do anything to make her happy. He told he that he was in love with her and asked her to be his wife. Mara was overjoyed, and they both knew that had found something special.
Natelion and Mara were married in the village, and everyone who watched them smile knew that their love was true. They knew that they would always be together.
Natelion felt like he had found his place in life. He had found a love that was more than just physical attraction, and he found a friend in Mara. They had changed his life, and he now knew that true happiness come from within.
As Natelion looked around at his new family and his new life, he realized that he had never been so happy. He was no longer alone in the world, and he knew that he would always have a friend and a lover by his side. The lonely knight was no more, and he had become a husband and a warrior, but most of all, he was finally content.
