Normal POV (point of view)

A

s I rode around a bend I was met with a Saxon scout who jumped out of the forest and charged towards us. I barely had enough time to bring out my sword before the scout crashed into us, causing Flecha to crash to the ground with a scream.

I struggled to get back to my feet. Once I managed to stand I was greeted with a sword headed for my neck. I brought my leg up and kicked him in the gut successfully pushing him away from me.

The Saxon regained his bearings quickly and came towards me once again, only this time he did not see as I positioned my sword in his path. He never once stopped to see what I was doing and my sword drove straight through his stomach. I waited until the Saxon fell to the ground and watched as life left his eyes.

I pulled out a cloth and wiped my sword clean from the Saxon's blood.

I turned around in search Flecha and found him grazing not too far away. I gave a soft whistle and watched him pick up his head with a small jerk. He saw me and immediately trotted over to me with a soft cry, when he reached me he bobbed his head. I lifted my hand up and offered it to him. Flecha moved an inch closer to me and gently placed his muzzle against my hand, I gently stoked his neck and moved to his side to get in the saddle once again.

I grabbed Flecha's mane and was about to swing myself onto Flecha's back when out of nowhere Mirima landed on Flecha's saddle in a storm of fluttering feathers.

"Mirima! Hello, nice surprise to see you here" I greeted her.

Mirima gave a few cries in response. I already knew that she would not be here unless Tristan was looking for me. "Alright Mirima, take me to Tristan" Mirima hawked once and flew off. I swung myself into the saddle, and urged Flecha to follow Mirima who was circling overhead.

Mirima saw me coming and flew off through the darkness of the trees, "Flecha, I need you to find your own way and follow Mirima" I told him as I could no longer see properly, I heard fleche snicker and I let him take charge.

It did not take long before we emerged from the darkness and were led to a clearing where I was met by Tristan. Our eyes met and he nodded in greeting, I gave him a small wave and moved Flecha next to Indian.

"The south is blocked not only by a tree log, but also by Saxons" I told him.

"There is a free passage north east, that is our only hope" I nodded.

We both began walking the horses in the direction of the caravan. I was startled out of our silence ride when out of nowhere Tristan grabbed hold of my arm, causing me to turn towards him suddenly.

"What happened?" he asked, as I looked at him I saw that his expression was one of concern.

"What?" I followed his gaze in confusion only to find that there was a relatively large gash on my upper arm. "oh that" I said as I studied it closer. I took my gaze off the gash and focused back on Tristan.

"I was attacked by a Saxon scout but I took care of him" Tristan nodded in response and told me to let Dagonet take a look at it when we got back, I nodded and we continued to ride.

It was not too long after that we arrived back to the caravan. Tristan and I nodded to each other in greeting and head out own way. As I made my way to the wagon where Dagonet was located, I came up next to Gawain.

"Hello love" he said as he caught sight of me, I brought Flecha right up next to Adrian. Once Flecha and Adrian were done bickering at each other, I leaned over and gave Gawain a passionate kiss. I heard him groan as he took his left hand off Adrian's reigns and began caressing my arm. As he ran his hand over my wound I winced and he immidietly pulled away.

"What is wrong?" he asked as he looked down at me.

I placed my hand near to wound and gently spread the material of my tunic to show him the angry gash. I heard him take a sharp breath. He moved his hand gently over the wound as if to inspect it.

"It looks deep you should let Dagonet look at it" he told me.

"I know I was headed there but then I saw you and had to stop and say hi" I told him.

Gawain leaned over and gave me a quick peck on the lips, he pulled back only cm and looked into my eyes "Hi" he said in a husky voice.

"Hi" I said with a smile, he returned it and gave Flecha a slight smack on his rear. Flecha gave a protest kick and moved forward. I urged him forward until we got to the wagon where Dagonet was. I jumped off and tied his reigns to the wagon.
