"What is your name?" Percival asked the girl. "It's julie and I am 16 years old." she just barely choked the words out. "I see well julie it's a pleasure to meet you." Percival said as he kissed her hand as a polite gesture. Julie blushed bright red as her heart began to race. "He is so polite. Every moment I spend with him it makes me want him more." She thought to herself as they continued walking. "Why were those knights after you?" Percival asked julie. "I dont know i'm not even from Pyro." Julie said as they walked through the grassy field. "I see. Well then you wouldn't have any information that's useful to my goal." percival said as they walked. "Yeah i'm sorry" julie sighed.

"It's not a problem I already got very useful information from that rogue knight." Percival said calmly. "Hes so nice I wish I could tell him how I felt." julie thought to herself. She tried her best to walk by his side. "What is your goal anyway? If you dont mind me asking." said julie while looking percival right in the eyes. "My goal is to take back the kingdom of Pyro and avenge my parents." Percival said. "Oh im sorry to hear that." Julie said while looking at percival. "Its fine. I will avenge them and bring honor back to the throne." Percival said as he began to have blurry flashbacks of the attack. The afternoon started to turn to dusk as the sun began to set. The breeze died and the plain was silent save the chirping of crickets. The fireflies flew around flashing and dancing around each other. "Wow this is so... romantic." julie thought to herself as they settled down for the night. "Its peaceful here but I have no time to kick back and relax enemies could strike at any moment." Percival thought to himself as he stood watch and the night closed in.
