kind strangers

Williams pov~

"I was riding into the sunset, my clothes covered in blood. We need rest both the horse and me but where? There was a not a place left that would welcome a stranger anymore . Every house I knocked shut the door on my face, every windows I looked in desperation was closed with their curtains drawn.

The journey was long and tiring I felt weak and had to find a place before the dawn would break this merciful night. I do not know where I stoped or how I ever even reached that place , maybe loriel(the horse) knew where to take me, they say animals have an extra sense afterall.

When I open my eyes, I'm on a soft bed covered in silk and a warm fireplace next to the bed , the room looks cosy and grand. A young girl enters, I'm guessing it is the servant.

"What happened, why am I here" I ask. The servant looks at me vehemently and says "my lady, saved you from death" she murmures to herself 'though I do not know why she bothered to save a stranger when she can barely save herself.' I ask her if I can meet the kind lady but the maid just laughs and says" she's a busy person and your lucky to even be here". I nod and slip back to unconsciousness.

I never did get to see the lady, though I was treated for a week. The time came for my departure and I was about to start the ride with loriel. I took a last glance at the huge palace and saw someone peering from the window. At that time I had assumed it was just another maid but boy was I wrong".

(back to present)

"So did you meet her again later sir, are you together now?" ronath asks me with sincere curiosity.

I just laugh and say " I did meet her again, though she does not know of my real identity, maybe one day it will be revealed and I might even have to face death then ".

" Why do you say that sir, how did you meet her again?" he questions me again.

"I guess that it was fate or pure luck. What were the chances of me meeting her again and that too in a place which no one knew of but us two". I tell him.

He looks at me with so much pure interest that I cannot help but be careful" that lad is for some other time to tell, my time is rushing past me , I must head back now".

"I understand sir, I will be waiting for you here the next week" he says , I nod and we part our ways. I think to myself ' what a strange boy, he carries but a little book which he notes down my story in and a strange black book and looks like a lazy homeless person ' but strangely I was willing to share my story with him.
