Chapter 36: Black-haired stallion
His black button-up's first three buttons are undone, showing off his drenched; muscular chest. He notices the other group of horses coming his way and shoots the young lady a flirty wink making her cheeks coat red. He then slows down and comes to a stop in front of the two and climbs down his horse.
The other person than the young lady, a guard snorts at her blushing. The younger--but still an adult woman merely gave a dismissive hand wave at him. The man makes his way over to the damsel. Softly taking the young lady's hand and kissing each knuckle.
"What is a fine lady like you doing on the outskirts of town?" He asks, his voice is rough; rasp; ravenous; voice. The point is his voice was

The Forgotten King Chapter 37: Secrets unfold
Before I can say anything to my queen a hand reaches out and grabs her. My dear is shocked out of her gaze. Kathleen enters back into reality as she and an unknown woman run back into the woods. My heart clenches at the fact that she has to leave my side, or that she might be in danger. I can only hope that Levin stops her and protects her.I am then escorted, or rather shoved and pushed, into the tent and forced into a seat across from Leon. "Your guards are quite aggressive, they sure can be glad I'm here to make peace. I wasn't I'd have just slaughtered them," I say in a low chuckle, a slight threat hidden in my voice. I began, saying it as if it was nothing."So peace is what you're here for? Not to catch up with an old friend?" He asks in a joking tone with a chuckle. I laugh with him until I abruptly stop, turning serious. Causing him to look at me questioningly. "You stopped being a friend when you crossed my borders with thousands of men as a threat," I s
The Forgotten King Chapter 38: Golden eyes
Levi's beautiful blue eyes seep into my own. Entrancing me and begging me to stay, to go back to him. I almost did, I almost lost my senses and ran into his arm. I would have hugged him as I cried into his arms, sobbing an apology. That would have happened if it wasn't for Leigh reaching through the tent and grabbing my arm. My body craves for Levi's warm presence, a need to be with him. To feel his soft kisses on my skin. His coveted for intertwining body. My whole being wants him and only him. So when Leigh takes my arm and runs off into the woods, it makes me just a little angry. We come to a stop and Leigh pants out for a bit. When she excitedly starts jumping, "We did it!" She says, holding her hand up to give me a high-five. I look at her with rage. Outright, sheer animosity, "What the hell?" She says, her eyes going wide. That causes me to furrow my eyebrows. "What do you mean, what the hell? You just took me away from my hu-" I caught myself
The Forgotten King Chapter 39: Accepting
"Yeah, I'm fine," I say, smiling at Leigh, "Don't really have a choice to feel otherwise," I say with a chuckle and she simply just laughs with me. "Don't we all?" She questions with a small, light, laugh. I look up at her and shake my head. "I'm so tired," I add, my hands in my head.She chuckled and sat down next to me, mesmerized by the water as she thinks of the right words to say. "You had a full night's rest. Why would you be tired?" Saki frowns, looking over at me. I shake my head, "I keep having weird dreams. Makes me emotionally tired." I sought out."Why is that?" I sigh, "I'm not sure why I keep having dreams. I've learned over time that dreams hold extreme meaning. I just don't know what the meaning behind them is." I give a shrug, biting my lip. "And the other thing?" Leigh nodded over to me. I don't know if I trust her enough for that just yet.Looking back at the water as I think back at all the things that happen in my life, "I've always
The Forgotten King Chapter 40: Eavesdropping
"Thank you" I smile at her and then I frown. "Where is 'your girl' anyway?" I ask making quotation marks with my hands. I look over at her. Saki's Asian eyes already sparkling with excitement to talk about her love. I used to know the feeling."What's with the quotation marks?" She asks with arms crossed.I give a shrug. "You haven't said her name yet." Leigh's pinks lip takes a sharp intake. She crosses her arms. "I presume you're right. I'll tell you when you meet her." The girl nods with a smart smile.When Levi and I started dating I couldn't shut my mouth when I talked about him. He'd be by my side everywhere I went. Now that I think about it, was that really such a good thing? Did he do it in a kind of cute and caring way? Or did he do it to make sure that I didn't run away as I have now?"She is actually the chief of EagleWatch's right-hand man's daughter." She says a jump in her step as we make our way to the cave. I nod and smile, showing that I'm
The Forgotten King Chapter 41: Horse stealing
The commotion of the moving soldiers is just perfect for horse stealing. Tallgrass and thick forest cover us slightly, along with flushed sunshine. Still, it's cool here outside. The sound of a large army marching in the background can be heard. Not only that, however, birds chirping as well. Nonetheless, the sun's close to setting. The smell of the forest enters my nares. The subtle musk of damp bark and wildflowers is present in the surrounding air. My stomach rumbles, I haven't eaten but I will try my best to keep going. Yet I still feel heavy. The feel of sharp rocks piercing my skin hurt, nonetheless I keep going. I turn to Leigh as she inspects what used to be where the tents set up. There's only one left really, King Leonardo's tent. All the soldiers are ready to go and the group that went out with the hostages has already left. Slowly and steadily the king's tent was being gathered up too. We wait just a little while longer. While we wait I contin
The Forgotten King Chapter 42: Sisters of fate
I exit the tent, the knights looking at me with shock as I come out completely aces. My long legs carry me over to the woods. The same woods that I saw Kathleen go into and the one Levin is located at. There I find the old woman and Levin sitting in silence."Where is Kathleen?" I ask, irritation thick in my voice. Levin's eyebrows furrow, "Did a snake get in your boots? Why are you so upset?" He already questions me. I roll my shoulders, trying to hold myself back. Releasing some tension I had. "Answer the question." I command him."Whatever do you mean? Kathleen did not come this way." He asks and then answers, his horse neighing. He pulls him and they stand still once more. "She must have gone the other way," I say with a disappointed sigh. My shoulders slaking.There is an earsplitting saturninity; sullenness; and lull. Before long I hear Aphy's old but still elegant voice say, "If you do not mind me asking, what is it you are seeking for? I might be able to
The Forgotten King Chapter 43: Starry night sky
It was a quiet ride all the way to Eaglewatch. Yet at some point during the night we both saw a bright flash. It was only there for a few seconds before it left. We tried to ride through the night, however, exhaustion got the hold of us. Leigh, somehow, got a vine from a tree and tied up our horses. I didn't make a fire. It would have made our place known. The next morning we went full speed ahead for our trip. We didn't know what was going to happen when we got to the village. We kept our hopes up. We shouldn't have because when we arrived our optimism was shattered. Leigh and I are conversing, deep into the topic of which was the most beautiful places we've been. I was winning on the wow factor. Levi had taken me all over the globe for many occasions. Yet, Leigh had the upper hand of experiencing so many cultures from a more in-depth point of view. Sometimes she would even have her girl there with her. I've always wanted to do that. Be that
The Forgotten King Chapter 44: EagleWatch
The village was in outright disarray. There were flames everywhere. I could see the knights that were there to protect the people of this were slaughtered. Including some of the villager's bodies. Blood was pooling from their lifeless bodies. There was a river in the middle of the village.Yet the river was a watery red. The fishes that lived there must have been close to death. Or already dead. There were even butchered animals, deers, in some places. Overall just pure annihilation; destruction; and death. The people of this land were in each other's arms. They were shaking, wet with tears."Oh Star." I hear Leigh whisper by my ear. Almost as if she's praying to her god, for some sort of hope. Hope that it is all just an illusion. A voice with tremble; heartache and agony. She walks carefully forward. I could see she was trying to process everything that was happening. Her breathing was speeding up. Her hands were shaking, fidgeting with anything and everything she co
