He left his father's war room with one purpose in mind, to capture the one with the Gift. He just couldn't believe that a girl from another world would be the one to have such a gift. He was on his way to the stables, he had ordered his horse prepared for a long journey, he just hoped the lad was done, since he was in a hurry to begin the task given to him. He would not fail. He reached the stables, and to his pleasure his horse was ready. Demon, as he had named him, jet black, strong, he radiated power like his master, lived up to his name. None could ride him except for Tristan, any who tried was either dead or severely injured. Even the lads had to be extremely careful when handling the beast. Many had bite marks to prove it.Tristan mounted Demon and galloped away. His task was a simple one. Capture the girl, see if she could be useful to them, if not then he shall be rid of her.
The prince had been riding for days near the woods where it was said she would appear along with her protector. He was starting to believe his father had been misinformed when he saw a bright light at a distance from where he was. He quickly rode towards it. As he neared he could hear sounds of struggle, as he got closer they grew louder. Through the trees he saw a young lad fending of three warriors on horse, while a girl stood watching unable to move. The prince found it quite entertaining that a young lad was fending of three hardened warriors, he knew for he had met them in battle, with nothing but a stick. The girl must be the one with the gift and the boy was her protector. While they were distracted with each other, Tristan took advantage and spurred his horse into action. He burst through the trees and headed straight for the girl. She turned to face him, while the rest froze, but before anybody could guess his intentions he already had the girl laying on her stomach across his saddle and was riding away. He could hear the shouts and the men giving chase, but none could match Demon's speed.

Once I could see again, what I saw was not what I expected. I was in a freaking forest, no bed, no walls, just trees. While I was freaking out I felt movement on my left. Before a screamed I noticed it was my brother. He was staring at his surroundings probably thinking the same thing I was. Then he turned towards me and I could not only see, but feel that he was just as freaked out as I was.
" Any idea about what just happened?"
Yeah, like I would know, but before I could answer we heard what sounded like horses coming near. We both stood up from the floor . Damian noticed a stick near his foot and picked it up, and moved in front of me to wait for whatever was coming.
Three men burst through an opening near the trees. They stopped when they noticed us standing in front of their path. The one in the middle, I'm guessing their leader, moved his horse a little closer, Damian gripped the stick harder ready to swing.
" Lower that stick boy. Not much it can do you against three men with swords." he looked like one of those barbarian warriors you see in movies. Rough, dirty, lots of facial hair all brown, and his clothes looked like they were maid out of animal fur. The one to his left had a similar appearance but with white hair, while the one on his right looked much younger. He had black hair that came down to his shoulder. All three were very large, not fat large, but built large even Damian looked smaller compared to them.
" I don't care if there were ten of you I'm not putting it down." I could tell my brother was scared but I knew he wanted to protect me no matter what happened. He always did.
" Put it down and come with us. You will be safe, we are wasting time. We aren't the only ones searching for the girl." At that I froze and I felt my brother stiffen. What in the world would they want with me, and who else is looking for me.
" Not happening. Nobody is touching my sister."
" I can see why you were chosen as the protector, but I have no time for this. We must leave now." As he stepped towards us Damian swung at the man's horse making the animal jump up. After that, all hell broke loose. I saw Damian fighting with all three men and to my amazement he was doing a pretty good job, but all I could do was stand there and do nothing. What could I do, I was to scared to even move. That's when I heard another horse from behind us. I turned towards the noise to see a man, that looked to be near the age of 20 or 21, on a black horse coming towards us. He looked like a warrior from death sent to destroyed anyone in his path. The best way I can describe him is Prince of Persia. You could see the two swords on his back, the bear arms, muscles, the hair, all the same. But as good as he looked I was terrified of him.
While the three men caused me to be wary, this guy just made me want to dig a hole and hide. When he was close enough, he bent down grabbed me with his left arm and threw me on his horse on my stomach. He never stopped his horse while doing all of this. I heard my brother yelling my name and I tried to struggle but all I was gonna accomplish with that was falling of the horse and probably getting killed at the speed the horse was going.
After a while I couldn't hear the men who had been chasing after us. But still the man rode at full speed, until after what felt like hours he came to a stop. I could hear water running. I'm guessing we stopped near a river or stream. I felt him get of the horse then he grabbed me and set me on my feet with my back to him. Before I could ask what he was doing I felt the rope as he tied my hands together. He then turned me around and I came face to face with my kidnapper.
Let me know what you think so far good or bad
