In what seemed like an eternity we broke threw the certain of foliage into a small clearing.

There was a body crumpled in the centre, cradled in the light that the canopy of trees forgot to block out.

my breathing hitched. it was both saddening and the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life.

as we broke the uniform line of the trees i herd daemon and lance draw their swords, William was already drawn.

After a few moments we were stood over the figure he was noting like I've ever seen.

He had reddish brown hair that didn't seem any longer then his jaw; it was tucked back in some strange netting. features were lost behind an unnatural white mask with crimson markings. the image was lost from damage and splattered blood that marked its design, only hint of the occupant behind was the broken segment that revelled one eye.

Much to the distaste of my fellow knights and friends, i crouched over the finger reaching out to remove the mask. That attempts was forgotten. The presumably dead body opened his eye and looked directly at me. I froze. The eyes were cloudy and unfocused, nether the less it was the most ethereal shade of green I had ever seen in my life. Layers upon layers of every shade imaginable. dark emerald all the way to torques.

His lone eye seemed to come into focus just enough to noticed my outstretched hand. He made a broken attempt to raise his arm to block my halted advance, but only really razing his hand an inch before it dropped again. ''hay n..no.. .'' was the only sound that came from the figure Before his eyes closed and his head rolled to the side as he fell unconscious.

The thing that shocked me the most was his voice! The voice was high and seamed feminine like a Child's 'just haw old was this boy?'

The clothing was again unformulior but gave hint to a knight or a nobles son but then again he was painfully thin but still rounded , the finger almost seemed feminine...it WAS feminine. after a glance over the battered body it was hard to deny the fact that the presumed male noble boy was in fact a woman. The build was thin and delicate but the skin of her exposed shoulder gave hint of muscle women just shouldn't have, but it still looked feminine.

That wasn't the only thing that was strange about her skin. On her left arm was a form of ink marking the same style as the mask, a beautiful black swirl was stamped on her arm, in sharp contrast to her ivory skin.

Her clothes were tattered and so blood-stained that it was hard to depict the cooler but she seemed to be wearing black trousers and tunic. underneath a type of strange white armour her cape was open pooling around her reviling a number of contraptions' and pockets. hanging from a strap on her back was a sword. it was ornately designed so it appeared she was someone from a high ranking family but it had no signs of a family crest. Also was far too thin and long to be suitable in battle.

Her Travel bag lay useless next to her leg.

Blue eyes scanned the body for Signs of life. In her condition there was no way she was a threat. The others seemed to have noticed this fact as well since they had lowered there guard.

After seeing no Signs of life i backed away and rejoined my comrades. Turning back I saw that her hair had fallen out of that netting when she fell unconscious ...again. To everyone's shock the thought-idly brawne-red hair was an impossible shade of pink.

Moving closer again i lent forward and flicked away the remains of the mask.

As i stepped back her full appearance seemed to hit me with full force. The more i found our about her the more she seemed otherworldly. Her face was pale like the rest of her. She had a strong jaw with a small nose and full lips, her closed eyes were slightly slanted giving her the prowess of a cat even whilst unconscious.

For a moment we all stood there in silence, as if the mere presence of this girl had robed us of the ability to talk.

Finally lance broke the silence with a shrug "well. Shes dead."

I had to resist the erg to laugh at his blahzay statement.

"Yes. Yes She is" daemon replied weakly

"What is 'that'?"William stated

At this I was broken from my stupor. I turned away from the woman as lance replied in smarmy manner, clapping the taller mans back.

"My good friend. I do believe 'that' is a woman"

"That is no woman, just look at her!"He snapped brandishing at the fallen body. And he was right 'just who was she'

"--that hair, those clothes. Women simply do not dress in such a manner and for a woman to be caring a weapon is simply preposterous."

At this he did have a point. I had never seen a woman exhibit herself in such a masculine way and her fetchers alone were so exotic they didn't seem human.

"She is not like us which means she is a danger and must be era...."

At his point Williams rant was cut short by a grown that came out of the pink heard girl. All the attention snapped to the woman in question.

She wasn't so dead after all.

"She is a demon, she needs to be eradicated" William stated re drawing his sword.

"But what if that is not so, what if she is a fea sent from god to protect us." Daemon cut in standing in front of William, blocking his advance

"Yes I agree with Daemon hear." Lance added, deciding he didn't like being on the sidelines of the argument. "Shes far too pretty to be a demon, is she not author."

All eyes turned to the princes as he responded after a moment.

"Well I don't believe in either of you it's just too far-fetched. What if she's just a foreign traveller that bean attacked on the road," I supplied trying to grasp onto any sane possibility on how she appeared in the woods. But even as I said it I knew it was a weak argument

"A traveller ...with pink hair" lance summed up with an 'i-cant-believe-you-just-said-that-and-you-expect-us-to-believe-that' look.

William wasn't having any of it ether "SHES A DEMON"

"No try catholic" a new female voice interjected.
