Shining Armour

Oh boy, oh boy. I’m allowed to come out on a hunt with the Prince and his two knights. The Prince is on his horse and he holds up his jousting stick. One of his knights is in all black, also riding a black horse. He has a mace. He’s like a dark knight. He’s pretty cool. And then you have the other one. The knight on foot. He’s got a funny moustache but at least he doesn’t look like a giant like the other two. He’s the one that invited me to come along on a hunt. The Prince didn’t mind as long as I can keep up and hold their weapons when they get tired. I can’t wait.


I’m a squire. I want to be a knight. I want to be a Prince but that only will be possible if I marry a princess. I don’t know any princesses, so I’ll have to be a knight. We are climbing up a hill which we have been climbing for several hours and the horses are treading warily upwards. The knight on the ground is huffing and puffing. We find a cave and the Prince raises his free fist to tell us to stop. The Lance pointing to the Heavens.


“My darlings...” An old crony woman creeps out and she walks out with two woman.


“I am the Prince!” The prince announces in a boastful voice.


“Why, it’s a pleasure to have you visit.” She replied with a hint of sarcasm. She looks at me and I can feel her eyes digging into my soul. They moistened as if they had lips they were licking.


“Are you hungry?” She inquired. Still staring at me intently.


I was.


“We have only been out for a few hours but yes, we shall come in.” The Prince announced.
