Knights And The Color Blue

Charles (Chapter 4)

 I hear the sound of the curtains opening, that not so harsh squeak, but enough to make you cringe slightly. The sun hits my face, as I now see the redness of the inside of my eyelids. Why does my head hurt? Who opened the curtain? I growled a little as I open my eyes, them fixing to the new light source

" Oh, Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." The voice was low and soft, yet, had a slight choppiness to it.  There was a tall man standing beside me, and as my eyes focused, I could see he was most likely one of the higher up citizens. 

This man, how was now standing beside the bed, looking at me with concern. He had dark, charcoal black hair, that went down to about his ears, and a few pieces of his hair was tucked behind them.  His skin was pale, almost looking ill or bleached. His nose was chiseled, along with his cheek bones, his eyes were small, but had large pupils. his eyes were Ocean color. A Blue like color.  He had a white, fastened up shirt, with a black shawl that sat around his neck.

"How are you feeling?" As I look at him more, I guess he is around my age, 18 or 19.

How am I feeling? My head is spinning, and there is a slight double of everything, like looking into a pond. I can't exactly feel my left leg, It's more of a tingle, throbbing feeling. I could also feel it rapped in some type of cloth, most likely to be a rap and some gauges. 

I give him a mumble in my response, still not exactly with it.

I see the young man move to the end of my bed and lift up my leg, removing the rap and gauges. my limb, around my calf, was swollen purple, a large cut going straight down from my knee to my ankle.

"You took a tumble into the lake after one of my citizens hit you, which I apologize for. Your leg took a bit of impact onto one of the rocks, I had to remove it off of your leg when I got you." 

The closer I look at his hair, I realize that it's in small strips that were wet and still dripping a little. I must have woken up not long after falling.  I raise my hand, Touching my blonde curls, which were still wet as well.

He then put the rap and gauges back around my leg after checking the cut "Would you like anything? Or shall I let you sleep?"

I finally seem to get enough energy to push myself up with my hands, which also had rap around them "Where am I?"

I look at the man, across his face was a slight worry "Your in DartenDale, But currently you are in my tower after taking a fall outside into my stream." He fixed his hair again, pushing it behind  his pale, bleached ear "What has brought you into here? Are you lost?"

His words are a jumble, and all I caught from that sentence was I was in his tower "who are you?.."

The man let out a small snicker, almost as if he was making fun of me. a strand of hair fell in front of his face again "Icarus Lambridge, I take care of this town, after my father passed away not long ago."

Icarus Lambridge...

Feel Like I've heard that name before.
