"C'mon Gas hurry up! At this rate I'm going to have my horse start trotting for you to keep up!" Cried a young man in a red hood and cloak. He turned to look back at his friend who was trying to get his horse to go faster.
"Hey man I can't help it my horse has a lot more weight to carry than yours!" Gas was a heavy set young man, with red hair and love for anything edible.
"That's true! I really feel bad for that poor animal". Sulfus laughed. He stopped to wait for his friend and saw a stream nearby.
"Hey Gas I see a stream up ahead! Lets let the horses rest for a while!"
"Sure, sounds good!"
Once they reached the stream they got off their horses and let them drink some water and rest in the shade. The two boys then decided to lay in the shade and started talking. They talked about a variety of topics, from horses to archery. But like always they got to one point where they talked about the royal family.
"I still cant believe how they treat people so cruelly. It's a good thing my father raised me right!"
Sulfus himself was from a noble family. His father had been in high noble standing but had passed away some years ago. He didn't even remember his mother. Since he spent so much time in the forest and with the common townsfolk he was considered one of them and wanted nothing to do with the royal family. Oh he was loyal to the king and queen but ever since they had left the townspeople whom he had all grown to love were suffering, so he helped them in any way he could.
"I know man they're unreal. But hey have you heard about the princess? The rumor is that she's as beautiful as her mom. Maybe even more beautiful! That and her aunts trying to set her up with that lapdog of hers Gabriel. But she won't go along with it. Oh and something else! Her aunt hasn't let her out of the castle ever since she came to power! She probably has no idea what's going on out here!" Gas explained.
"What? So she's basically kept her own niece locked away for three years! That's insane! But still I find it hard to believe that she could be more beautiful than the queen."
Their conversation was cut short however when they heard two screams. They quickly leapt on to their horses and rode towards where the screams had come from. When they arrived they saw two girls being surrounded by a bunch of Reina's soldiers, a dead deer lying by them. One had had long black hair with two purple streaks in the front. The other had short dark purple hair with one big red streak on the side.
"Let us go!" Yelled the one with the red streak.
"We've done nothing wrong!" Yelled the other.
The leader marched forward on his horse .
"Done nothing wrong! Ha! You've killed one of Reina's royal deer! That is a severe crime! And I as the sheriff must enforce the law!"
"Oh please you pompous windbag! That jerk owns everything nowadays! What right do you have to tell us what to do!" Yelled one of the girls.
"Yeah you old goat!" The other chimed in.
The leaders face grew red and he prepared to strike them when an arrow whizzed by catching some of his hair. He turned slowly to see the two young men. One of which had an arrow pointed right at him.
"I suggest you leave now sheriff. Before this gets ugly."
The sheriff grew pale and quickly turned around and ran away. All of his men following him. Gas and Sulfus jumped off their horses and went to help the two ladies.
"Are you guys alright?" Asked Sulfus.
The one with the purple answered first.
"Yeah thanks to you guys! My names Calbiria and this is my sister Kabale."
"Nice to meet you!" Kabale replied.
"Were glad that you two are okay. I guess we'll be leaving now." Said Gas as he and Sulfus mounted their horses.
"Wait!" Kabale yelled.
"Please let us go with you! Were orphans and have nothing! Please let us come with you!"
"Yeah please!"
Gas and Sulfus looked at each other and smiled.
"Ok, throw in the deer and you can come with." Sulfus said smirking.
"Hooray" The girls yelled.
After they had gotten the deer and girls on the horses they made the way to their campsite. On the way they talked. Mostly about how someone had to make Reina see that they weren't going to be pushed around anymore. After they had discussed this for a while Sulfus had an idea.
"Hey isn't there supposed to be a feast tonight?"
"Yeah what about it?" Calbiria asked.
"I'm still a noble and I think I have the perfect way to make Reina realize that we're not going to be pushed around anymore." Sulfus smirked.
The companions all smiled. They liked where this was going.
