Tale of a Knight

Chapter 4

"Jimm, Its barely even noon and your stopping already? " Jimm turned around and told him," There's a fairy nearby who can help. Princess Stella notified me about her. We should head towards her and ask for help. "

" I see, okay then. Giddi up Stareyes. "

" H'yup Storm."

~~**~~

" Beauty of nature, Evil of Phrow, Let nature GLOW!!!"Knock knock knock, Sounds on the doors and butterflies that go 'round and 'round the forest. "Come in." She said. Jimm and Abbel headed inside and she started to talk," I'm Tris Vina Floral. I am the Fairy of Nature and animals. How can I help?"

"Well, you see.." Before Abbel could finish, she interrupted," Ah yes yes., I'm well aware. Stella told me about you, she was captured and you were sent to save her and your friend,Jimm, is the wielder of the Excalibur,. Yes yes, I see. Okay I'll help. Only in ONE condition. Go to the lake of tears and get me a drop of pure tears."

"Sure., But the lake of tears is on the opposite road than to the one were using. So h-" She handed Jimm a map, " Use this. Now go" Abbel and Jimm headed to the Lake of tears then the sword started to glow. It's glowing again, but why? Abbel turned to see what was slowing Jimm down.

JIMM'S POV~

I can't keep up with the sword like this. Not in this state, at least. " Jimm, What's keeping you? " Abbel asked as he stopped. I looked at the Excalibur then back at Abbel.

" Ummm, nothing, Let's just keep on moving. The day is moving quite fast. " I faked my smile and continued forward. We continued on and had finally come to the Lake of Tears. We could see the tears of the people gathering here and one soul, sitting in the middle of the lake.

Abbel turned to me," Whose soul do you think that is?"

" I don't know... But we better hurry and find that pure tear drop." I said and got off of Storm. As we searched around, we heard noises in the lake.

" Come to us.... " I looked to Abbel , " Come to us.... "

" D-did you hear that Abbel? " Abbel stayed quiet. I continued to look at Abbel and he was pointing at something. I turned around and, " COME TO US!!!!!!!" There it was, the soul that was in the middle of the lake.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! " I yelled then took my sword and stabbed it. I didn't really know what I was doing because you can't stab or kill souls, but this soul was different. After I stabbed it, it turned into a young boy, " Thank you. " he said and gave me something. I looked at it, It was a pure tear drop. But when I was going to thank him, he was gone. And the Lake of tears, I mean the Lake of Good, returned to how it was before.

"Woahhhh.!!! How'd that happen Jimm?" Asked Abbel.

"I-I don't know.. It just.. I don't know." I remembered that I haven't shown Abbel or he probably forgot that I'm the Wielder. Or Seeker if in other words. So I better keep it quiet 'till we find Princess Stella.

"Oh ho ho . What have we here, the weilder of the Excalibur. And you, my dear princess thought you could hide him from me. " The witch said as she looked at the tired princess. "But you were wrong.. because.. I ALWAYS get what I want."

" We'd better give it to Fairy Tris, so then she can help us. Come on, we dont have much time. The sun is going to set soon and we'll have to find shelter." Abbel said.

We headed back to Fairy Tris and the pure tear drop had started to glow when we reached there. Along with my Excalibur, they floated in the air and collided. The Excalibur had changed. A strong grip, crystal handle, silver and gold sword, and a glow seen like never before. I looked back to Fairy Tris and Abbel. They kept on staring at me, " Uhmmm.. So Jimm., Your the weilder of the Excalibur. Why didnt you tell me." Abbel asked in confusion.

"Actually, I.. you just couldnt see it until now probably. Because you know how it has great power right?? Yeah.. thats right. Heh. " I said while smirking. Lying again to Abbel is something I usually dont do. Abbel is my bestfriend and hurting him? Thats not what I should do because Abbel deserves the truth. "Uhmm.. Actually, Abbel.. " He turned around and looked at me with a smile.

"Yeah Jimm? "

"Uh... Its nothing.. nothing really. "

"Okay. " he smiled and went out the cottage. Heading for the horse, he stopped," You know Jimm? You can tell me anything, but if you dont want to tell me what happened then.. thats okay. We should get going and save Princess Stella."

I kept quiet and just followed Abbel to the horses.
