School Of Dedicated RPers
Your character has been ordered as an escort for a lady of high standing as she wanders on horseback through the woods. You're the only escort because the woods you two are traveling in are supposed to be really safe, but the maiden suddenly slips out of your sight. For a good few minutes there's just no sign of her.
"Lady Kara! Lady Kara! Where are you?" Shouted Redgar, his voice filled with distress.
"..the hell could she be at?" He muttered and scratched his greasy hair. The plump knight then shouted for the maiden once more but only the echo of his voice return. Redgar stomped his feet and banged his hand onto his metallic armor in anger. Nevertheless, the forest was still quiet. He shook hi head and walked back to where his mount awaits.
Dully, his beautiful white mare was grazing patiently but as soon as she saw her master, she gallops to him and nudge at him lightly, prompting him to give her a scratch. Redgar smiled and obeyed. The mare gave a contented neigh.
Redgar smiled once more and then mounted the mare. He pet her neck and urged her to move. "C`Mon Dully, we have to find that brat. She is our only chance to get rich."
Dully nodded seemingly to understand her master and broke into a gallop.
"Lady Kara!" Redgar shouted continuously. Still there was not any answer.
Redgar grumbled and scratched his hair in frustation. "Argh...! I am going to fry that imp once I am rich from her father's coins!" And he continued to shout for Kara's name.
The mare continued to gallop around the woods but the lady was still nowhere in sight. Redgar cursed as the sky turned reddish. The sun was setting.
Dully was getting tired and Redgar knew. No matter how strong of a mare Dully could be, any horse would get tired from galloping continuously. He sighed and urged her to head towards the plains, outside of the woods. He remembered that there is a stream flowing there. Perhaps he could also find some woodsman or traveller who might have spotted the lady.
It was not a long ride and soon the woods were thinning. The stream which divides the woods from the plains soon came to view. Redgar dismounted and let Dully drink from the stream. He too need a gulp or two for his throat was sore from the continuous shout and curse he gave out for the lady.
He drank and washed his face. The clearings is a tranquil countryside. Redgar sat down beside his grazing mare and watched the view. The wind was blowing lightly. Redgar sighed and went to lay down on the grassy field.
"May that brat go to hell with all her noble coins!" He shouted and Dully whinnied in reply.
"You dare to curse me?"
In a single breath, Redgar jumped onto his foot and unsheathed his sword. A woman in luxurious clothings came to view. She was on foot.
"Lady Kana!"
"You dare to curse me, do not you Edgar Silvertalon? A mere mercenary knight, dare to curse me?!"
"Well... I... my" He stumbled upon his words but when Kana made a dismissive gesture, all of his earlier anger and frustation returned his wits sooner that usual. "My name is Redgar, oh my brattiest in the whole of the empire, lady Kana."
"Oh, how bold knight. You dare to call me brat!"
"But you are my lady! In fact it is a compliment. For you are worst than that! You are an imp hiding under the cloak of human skin!" The plump knight was an ugly view, a round face tinted red from the setting sun, raging heart and humiliation he felt. His hair was greasy and wet from sweats and he was panting heavily.
"I am going to tell my father!" She retorted and stomped nearer to him.
Redgar paused for a while but then his emotions prevailed. "Well, you could tell him all you want! But he paid me to save you from the damned tower not to babysit your a**! I fought dragons, witches, even darklord and his minions, all to save you and in fact I think they are grateful that I slayed them! Why? Because listening to your yapping is worst than that!"
He panted harder as he pointed at the maiden. The maiden's face turned dark red, she seemed to want to retort back but then erupted into tears.
"But I do not want to be saved by a fat knight! I want my knight to be in shining armor! He has to be one of the charming prince I read in a book!"
Redgar shrugged, totally unmoved. "I am sorry for being a short fatso but those charming prince never fight do they? All they do are to be charming and sit by your balcony, pining for you and sing to you love songs. Anyway, I do not care about your preference but could you go home already? I need to claim my cash and get you off from my shoulder."
The woman continue to sobs to Redgar's dismay. He was having headache from all those shoutings and need a good night rest. Perhaps even to drop by the bar for a couple of pints. He shrugged again and then walked nearer to the lady. He took the lady easily and put her on his shoulder. The maiden struggled and shouted for him to let her go but he did not.
Instead, he tied her onto Dully and ride towards the castletown.
