Azure's POV
I was surrounded. I was on patrol and was attacked by 4 DoonFangers and their king. The king lunged at me and I close my eyes expecting death. But i was wrong. I open my eyes to see Rufous, the blacksmith, in the place of he DoonFangers holding a sword. I realized it was my sword i left in his shop to be fixed.

Rufous' POV
I heard a scream. It was Azure. I grabbed his sword and ran where he was to see Xcellence and 4 DoomFangers. Xcellence saw me and retreated. I walked to Azure as he opened his eyes. He seemed relieved knowing his final battle has yet to come.

Azure's POV
I walked back to the village with him. He gave me my sword back then went home. I sighed and went to Eterna's house to give he patrol report. When i got there I told Eterna what happened. She reminded me of the village tradition. My face turned blue "W-WHAT!?" I yelled. "It's tradition you have to." She told me. I ran out and to the tradition fountain in town square. I look at the plaque that reads "Tradition of a Savior." I read it to make sure Eterna wasn't lying. It read "If someone shall save a knight the knight must marry that person." I panick and scream "I'm not ready for marriage!"
Rufous' POV
I heard Azure yell so i went to see what's wrong. He was standing by the... oh no... I forgot about the tradition!!!! I have to marry him!
