Chapter 3 Dinner and Misterious Wanderer
The sun was begenning to set a little more with each step Terry's horse made.He soon arrived at the ranch.Looking around as he walked further in with his horse by his side he noticed the peacefull surroundings of the ranch,"Wow it is very peacefull here.I feel so calm and carefree."The further he walked in a tune cought Terry's ear."Whats that?" It was the sound of Malon's sweet voice in the air.He followed it to the center of the corral where he laid eyes on the beautifull red headed girl once more.She opened her eyes in shock at the footsteps she heard behind her.She turned around only to meet Terry's green emerald eyes again.
"Oh! Im terribly sorry.I did not hear you coming.I tendto get carried away with my singing sometimes." She said with a light blush in her cheeks and slowly backing away to give herself some room to breathe."No, I think it is I who should apologize for interrupting you, I didn't mean for you to stop singing.To be quite honest I was enchanted by your sweet voice, that wordless melody, it seems to add to the peace in this ranch.With a voice like that you can soothe anybody's soul." Malon was taken aback by what he had said.
'No ones ever said anything like that to me before.He is so nice, and handsome too.And he is true to his word,Oh! Dinner!' "Why you must be hungry huh? I prepared dinner for us, my uncle wont be able to join us Im afraid he has left early to his bedroom, he has had a very busy day please forgive him." They began to walk towards the house when Terry said, "There is no need to forgive a tired man, he must be really tired to not even eat dinner.But tell me Miss Malon what have you prepared?" Malon suddenly stopped and turned to him,"Miss Malon?" She raised an eyebrow and gave a light giggle
"Please call me Malon,I dont really like proper titles." Terry looked down and stood there for awhile before following her again.He felt a little silly and embarrased." Forgive me I did not know" Malon giggled again."Oh its alright as long as you dont do it again.As for dinner thats a surprise I hope you like it." Terry sped up his pace and was now walkng at her side."Tell me Malon, what would you do if I used your name with a proper title again?" He asked sarcastically.She only stopped and looked at him then gave a small grin and continued walking."If you do it again you will see." That's all that came out of Malons mouth as she coninued walking.
Terry wanting to defy her to see what happened and decided to do it again"Oh Miss Malon?" he asked playfully.She stopped again and stood very still until he cought up with her.Once he was right next her she swiflty swung her leg at the exact point were she would trip him,but Terry being highly trained at this kind of stuff he saw it coming and pulled her down as well.They both fell on the grass, Terry landed on his right arm and Malon landed on her back."Nice move" Terry said grining."Well I had to do something." Malon stood up and wiped her dress off.Terry stood up as well following Malon inside the house.
As they ate dinner thay talked about their families, horses (wich Malon knew the most about), weapons (wich only came up because of Malons curiosity), and somehow about the misterious prince."So he wasn't born in your kingdom?" Malon asked."No, he wasn't" answered Terry."Well then how do you know he is your prince?And how could he all of a sudden be found in your village?" "That I don't really know.No one does save he King and the Prince.And maybe Quintus.But those details are not really discussed about, not even amongst them.It seems to bring pain in their hearts and in their eyes." "Oh I see" Malon looked down.
A light knock came to the door, "Must be for me."Terry said with a sigh and stood up to answer the door.Surely enough it was Will, one of his comrades sent to pick him up."Well I bid you farewell Malon.I hope to see you again soon." He kissed her hand once more and left through the door discussing something on their way out of the ranch.
"What a gentleman." Malon said aloud and began to clear the table.Later that night as Malon went to the stables for a blanket she heard a faint cry in the distance.It was calling out for help.A young man soon appeared in the walkway hardly able to stand and seemed about to collapse at any moment."Oh my gosh! Sir! What happenned!?" She asked the young man as she helped him into the house.
A few hours later the young man awoke in a bed looking up to the cieling with a warm wet cloth on his head.He found himself without his shirt and his wounds all badaged and taken care of.He sat up and loooked around, looking for the young woman who helped him.Malon walked in holding his shirt and carrying a small jar with some water in it.
She sat down beside the young man looking for how to start a conversation."Well I mended your shirt, I brought you some water to drink.How are you feeling?" She asked, worry and care showing in her eyes.The young man noticed it and carefully answered,"I am feeling better thanks to your care.May I have some water please?" "Oh sure, but tell me what were you doing out there at that time of night? It's dangerous out there didn't anyone tell you or warn you about it?" "No" he said taking a sip of water." Apparently they didn't. Tell me are you a wanderer? Or some traveler? Whats your name?" She asked excitedly.
"You ask too many questions you know that?" He said with a soft smile on his lips."But if need it be, I am a wanderer, a seeker of new adventures if you will.My name is Eros.What is your name?" "I see, well Im Malon, a pleasure to meet the circumstances.Well rest up.If we can we will talk in the morning.Please don't leave ok? Allow me to be a good host and bring you breakfeast in the morning." she smiled."Why thank you Malon, but meeting you has given me no desire to leave anytime soon.But like you said in the morning we shall talk.And thank you, not many people are as kind as you."
As soon as she left the room Eros laid back down and was in deep thought before falling asleep.'Goddesess what have I done? I just lied to her.Then again I must not let anybody know who I really am.I want to see if what we held onto some time ago still lingers in her heart? I want to know if sooner or later she will recognize me with her heart. I want to know if I am free to...l...o...v........'He fell into deep sleep,his eyelids not able to hold up anylonger.While he slept memories of his recent past came flushing back in the form of a dream.
