The dragon and the Forgotten princess

XIX

As Skylar came back from a hunting trip she saw Eric sitting around the fire sharpening his sword. As she put down her kills Skylar walked over and sat next to him.

'The next village isn't too far' Skylar said 'maby we will find someone who knows so something about your family'. Eric took a breath 'I don't want to go the next village. I want to stay with you here on the forst'.

Skylar looked at him and smiled 'alright then' Skylar said as she put her arm around his neck. 'Come on let's eat' Skylar stood up and walked over to where she put her kills and through one to Eric. 'Rabbit nice' Eric said as he put it over the fire.

Later that night as the fire burnt low Skylar and Eric lay on the grass. Skylar was teaching Eric how to read the stars. They lay there for hours until Skylar stood up and stomped on the fire to put it out. 'What now mum' Eric asked her called Skylar mum as way of getting over his parents death.

'Well we still need to get to the village' Skylar said. 'How long will it take' Eric asked. Skylar thought for a moment 'it's should be a three day journey from here' Skylar said as she set up for the night and Eric did the same.

Later that night Skylar was woken by the sound of iron agent iron. The sound tour through the forst. Laying there wake Skylar rolled on her side facing Eric. Seeing how peacefully he sleeped remember her of Lucy, Matt and Steven and all there times together.

Soon Skylar fell asleep. As soon Skylar thought she could sleep peacefully something rolled into her. After having something hit her Skylar sat up and looked around as she did that something fell off her back and hit the ground. Skylar looked at what made the sound and saw a boy.

The boy was covered with injuries some if them looked as if thay where made by a gun. Picking up the boy and placing him carefully on a shit Skylar started tending to his injuries. Once Skylar had finished she grabbed a shit and placed it over the boy to keep him warm.

She sat next to him for the rest of the night worried if he will survive the night.
