Every 5 weeks, Lily would go visit her family for a couple days. One day, as she was riding her friend, a talking horse named kerrican, they saw a fawn laying on the ground. Lily quickly got off Kerry and kneeled next to the fawn. She examined him and saw an arrow in his left leg.
"Ohno, ohno ohno ohno. Um," she grabbed the arrow. Carefully, she twisted it and pulled. It came out easily but blood followed. She ripped off a piece of her dress and wrapped it around the faun's leg.
Then she heard running. Someone was coming towards her. She looked to her left to see a young man around 21 jumping over a bush and kneeling next to her. He had a bow in his hand. Lily couldn't see who he was because his face was covered in dirt.
"O Great! I'm in trouble now!" he yelled.
"Did you do this?" Lily asked
"Yes, but I assure you, it was unintentional! I was trying to shoot a target when a bear startled me. The arrow went wild and I completely missed the target. Ugh, I'm so clumsy. Oh, sorry, I don't know your name."
"My name is Lily. This is my Friend Kerrican. We are on our way to visit my family."
"Oh, well, in case you don't know me, I'm high king Peter. I'm out here sharpening my bow and arrow skills."
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Lily quickly stood up and bowed.
"Don't fret. You didn't know who I was. Besides, it was kinda nice to talk to someone without them knowing that I am the high King." Peter stood up and placed his hand on Lily's shoulder.
The Faun woke and stood up.
"I thank you for helping me." It said to Lily, and limped away.
"Please, let me escort you to your home." Peter said to Lily.
"Thankyou, but it is far. About a days ride." Lily responded.
"Not a problem." Peter said. He asked Kerrican permission then mounted. Then he held out his hand to help Lily up.
"Did you not bring a horse?" Lily asked.
"No, I did not want to draw attention to the fact that I was going somewhere."
Peter answered. Lily sighed and took his hand. He lifted her on and said "If you don't mind,
could you not tell anyone about the faun"
Lily nodded and they rode in the forest.
