Denials and Discoveries

He looked up at her appearance from the forest. His heart melted within him. It was like a light surrounded her, making her seem angelic. Another part wanted him to avoid her, and be mean towards her. The nicer part of him won out the other and his mental struggle ended.

He stared at her and felt embarrassed that he did not even know her name! He only knew she was a princess. She seemed cautious of him, both studying each other.
