In a small cramped hut at the top of a steep mountain was a beautiful young lady with the longest brown hair you have seen  and beautiful blue eyes, wait a minute this isn't a lady this is a man. This young man was called Jaike. Jaike has been in this small hut since as long as he could remember he was locked in and couldn't get out but in the mornings and afternoon food would appear as if by magic. Magic didn't exist though, did it? His hair has never been cut from what he remembers but if you look really closely right at the top of his head you can see a section of hair, shorter than the others that always stay in at the same length. It's really annoying actually every time he tried to put is in a man bun, as well as he could with the amount of hair he had, it was too short to fit.

Now Jaike, as I said has never been out the cabin before, heard a clang of metal it wasn't the usual clang of metal that he heard daily when the food appeared this clang was rhythmic, now if Jaike had ever been out side he probably would of  known that this was the rhythmic clang of a knight riding a noble stallion wearing shiny iron armour but since Jaike has never seen a horse or armour he just sat quietly  reading a book from the small selection he had, listing to the rhythmic clanging that was somewhat peaceful sounding. Suddenly a loud abrupt crack disturbed Jaike from his reading along with a loud obnoxious voice
"I have come for you my love, what gorgeous brown hair you have fair maiden."
Jaike stood up very quickly dropping his book in the progress and turned around and snapped 
"did you just assume I was a fair maiden? Or were you informed wrongly?"
Jaike regretted snapping as soon as he saw the gorgeous stranger standing in front of him who looked just as surprised as he was.
" I'm so sorry," they said in sync, blushing at just the sound of each other's voice.
the stranger had gorgeous blue eyes that Jaike swore twinkled in the sunlight like stars and an adorable smile that could make even the characters in his book swoon and his hair was so beautiful so blonde so poufy. While Jaike was in a dreamy haze the stranger begin to talk snapping him out of his haze.
"I'm so sorry if I offended you," the stranger said looking slightly shaken 
"it's just that it's usually a maiden trapped in a tower or imprisoned by a witch" he stuttered,
"witch?" Jaike exclaimed in a questioning tone
he had only read about witches in his small clutter of books, old, ugly witches and beautiful alluring witches who would lure you in and make you do their bidding, there was also this one series of books that he liked to read about witches and wizards who lived among us who called the none magic people 'Muggles' he wondered witch ones the beautiful stranger was talking about he hoped the last ones but he had a feeling that it was the first one, which is exactly what Jaike found out a second later , when a witch, an ugly old one, burst through the hole in the wall that the stranger caused, with such a rage that she tripped over the book that Jaike had dropped and banged her head on the small coffee and was knocked unconscious. The stranger grabbed Jaikes arm gently and pulled him out of the cabin and onto his waiting stallion then ordered it to gallop after they were a safe distance away from the cabin and the witch he explained what was going on, the strangers name was Faron and he had come on a quest to save a maiden that had been locked up in a cabin at the top of a steep mountain and that he was sorry about assuming that Jaike was a maiden and that he had simply been misinformed. He also explained why Jaike was chosen by the witch to be locked up which was because of his hair which was special and that the witch wanted to lock him away from the rest world out of fear of sharing his special hair.
"But I think it's more than you hair that's special," he had said softly and left Jaike wondering what he meant.They adventured further away from the cabin and made camp in a small cave.
