Shovel Knight's Christmas

Shovel's Shadow

"Cursed Shovel Knight. My arm hurts..." I begin to shift my shoulder in a round motion trying to work out the kink. I then lean against a fence on the outskirts of Rock Town. "I won't give up... I swear..." I nod to myself, crossing my arms and hoping that someday this armor will feel less heavy upon me. I sigh, suddenly hearing snow rustling in the distance. "What in the world?" I look over to see the girl knight and Shovel Knight running down the hill! Crap, they're after me! I begin to jog away as fast as I can, the armor making things harder despite my practice in charging. I make it to a somewhat deep part of the forest, hiding behind a tree and waiting. "Maybe I'll have another chance to beat Shovel Knight on the morrow... If I follow them." I begin to watch them, and they seem to have made it to the bottom of the hill from Rock Town. They seem to be laying in the girls shield, just resting. That girl is scary, I tell you. But then Shovel Knight begins to get up, heading down this road! I try to hide a bit better, but it seems they didn't see me at all. Both Shovel Knight and probably his girlfriend walk down the road further deep, walking down the outline of the forest. Shovel Knight seemed to be listening to a story the girl was talking about. I have to admit, they look kind of cute together. But enough of that gook, I gotta follow them! I begin trying to quietly walk a pretty good distance away while still being behind the trees. It seems that theres not really much else I can do but wait. They stopped in a random part of the snow, logs scattered about as if they were there previously. The sun is beginning to lower, and I notice that they are building a fire together. It must be nice... I've always had trouble getting along with people. I think its my high pitched voice... The girl made fun of me for it earlier... You know what, Shovel Knight? Tonight, I'm gonna show you what its like to be lonely!
