He was supposed to know these things. How many pieces of armor made up a full set, what they were called, stuff like that. But he didn't. Even so, this armor he'd found, his armor, its pieces almost felt like a group. He was sure the set was almost complete.

Bren had seen other knights, especially the great knights, running around with helmets. Maybe today he would get his own.

[ step one ]

Last evening, the healers had been treated to a chicken feast after all of the misdropped poultry from the drawbridge had been scraped up and boiled. At the time, it had been delicious, but it was definitely starting to sit funny with Bren now. He took his horse's reins with a grateful nod, but he didn't mount up, choosing to walk beside the animal for a time.

[ step one reroll ]

It was only when a sheep of some indeterminably shaggy breed positively screeched at him and began to give chase that he hopped onto the horse's back and urged it into a gallop. He was getting noticeably better at this riding thing, a fact that Bren was grateful for more than anything. 'A Knight must master the art of riding.' Between this development and his armor, he might shape up to be a decent knight after all.

[ step two ]

Letting out a sigh, Brenley watched as his mount decided to canter off in the middle of a meal. With no way to catch him, the boy gave up his pursuit pretty quickly. He knew things had been going too well to continue on the way they had, but he still wished it hadn't been the horse to go.

[ step three ]

The labyrinth was too quiet when he was on his own, each bite of his stale rations crunching through the stone corridors and calling things he didn't want to deal with. Brenley kept his axes close, but axes were no match for fire and teeth and claws. He had to run, half of his food left in his haste.

It was a helmet, a gorgeous matte coppery piece with thin, twining branches decorating its surface. But as he reached out for it, something awoke in his gut and he recoiled. Brenley fell, but by the time he landed he was already unconscious.

Doubly determined to make it back to Camelot with his prize now that he had seen it, Brenley set out again as soon as he could. He had managed to gather a great deal of food, just in case something happened to it, and he had gotten the best sleep of his career as and apprentice the night prior, visions of his helm sweetening his dreams. The horse he was given also seemed a good omen. He could imagine they must not have many to spare, but his mount was a stallion, and its name was Piper.

Another sheep. Or maybe the same one. It was easier to outpace when he didn't have to run on his own.

[ step two ]

At the edge of the trees, Bren finally saw something that might have been described as an elf. It was tall and thin, pale as bone, and holding something that might have passed as a bow made by someone who had never seen one before. It seemed he didn't know bows, however, because when it shot the spider above him just so, it didn't die, it attacked him instead. As Brenley ran, he couldn't help but think the move had been intentional.

[ step three ]

His horse was skittish when it couldn't see the sky, or maybe it just didn't like stone. Either way, he woke up from a nap to find it gone, probably returned to Camelot. It might have been eaten too, but he didn't think on that too long. It had been a nice horse, all things considered.

For all the trouble he'd had the last time he had come here, now he simply walked up to the helmet and took it. It was even better up close, its very presence brightening the darkened space around it.
