The White Knight Chapter Six-Shariene

The sun, climbing upwards to the highest point of the sky, revealed that it was nearing noon of that eighty-five degree day, with not a cloud in the sky, those blown away shortly after dawn. Maria was riding along the trees, going presumably towards the direction of King Alexander's castle. She was trying to retrace the route she had taken while being chased. However, she kept getting more lost.

The noon sun made Maria hot. She decided to rest in some shaded portion and wait for the day to get cooler before trying to find her way again. She got off Chilowna and led him towards a small stream. The group of trees around there would protect her from sight of any knights who might be still looking for her. Maria took off her helmet, letting her long hair waive in the wind. Deciding to read, Maria took the book from the saddlebag and opened to the next chapter.

"That is too young!" the two kings protested.

"That is too young!" the two kings protested.

"It shall be done. I will let you decide how to train them at that age. It can be more training in speed and physical conditioning than in combat. However, if I am not pleased in what I see, you will be the first to know.

"Second thing, we do not need to have weak warriors. Of the ones who are sick, inexperienced or unskilled, you will kill off."

"No! That will not be done!"

"It will be. If you dare to defy me, it will cost you.

"The final thing I have to say is the knights will be given some protection from the sword's
