The Knights Of Jacedonia

Chapter Four

The night was dark, rain poured from the sky like a waterfall. Marth and Roy tending after a weary tired Roland. As he slept the boys explored their new home. Bigger than the old one. On this night the boys stay in the kitchen tending the fire and eating bread and butter. Marth was laughing at his brother as they hadnt had this feeling in a long long time. The feeling of home. "Strange isnt it?" Roy asked. Marth looked at him quizzically. "How one day we can be in a bad situation and now were in a better one?" Marth shrugged. "People dont choose their destiny. Destiny finds them in many a way, shape, or form." Roy rolled his eyes as a lightning crash sounded across the sky. Marth looked out a window into the stormed and breathed in the scent of wet earth. How he loved it. He thought he saw a figure running in the rain,but decided his mind was playing tricks. Not soon after however there was a loud knock on the door. Marth answered it and a cloaked figure rushed in shutting the door and barring it. The figure sighed. Marth looked at the figure. "May i offer some assistance?" Roy came around the corner to look. The figure turned and looked into Marths eyes before shedding the cloak. Underneath was a girl. Unlike any other the boys had seen. She was extraordinarily beautiful. Her hair was as brown as dirt. She looked deep into his eyes and he looked into hers. "I require a bed amd some spare food if you have either. I dont wish to be a burden. I can leave if im inconveniencing you " Marth heard her unfathomable kindness and shook his head. " we have spare food and a spare bed for as long as you need." There was somthing about her calling to him. She smiled and Marth showed her to the kitchen where he got her some bread and butter with some fresh cow milk Roy had gotten not an hour before. He offered her a chair which she took gratefully. Marth sat next to her as Roy took her bag upstairs to the spare room voluntarily. Marth gazed longingly at her before finally asking "what is your name?" The girl looked at him and replied "Leisel." Marth smiled. "Beautiful name for a beautiful maiden " Leisel blushed. "Thank you" Roy entered and introduced himself and then marth took his turn. Soon after she finished her meal Leisel asked if she could retire to bed for she was weary. Marth personally showed her to her room. "If you need anything" he said " just shout for us. Well be here right away." She nod and thanked him and she lay on the bed quickly falling asleep. Marth and Roy who now had separate rooms decided it was late and went to get some sleep themselves unknowing the girl upstairs was actually a princess.
