If you two were thinking of leaving the castle in the middle of the night then you are more like you mother than I could have ever imagined.
Huh?
Well…. Your mother made a habit of sneaking out of her father’s home and that’s how we met. I still remember that day, she was drenched to the bone and she was still active, the funniest part was that she wanted to save a rabbit…. a rabbit!, which was practically what brought us together. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Awwn Dad, you never talk about mum, there’s so much we need to know. So much we have to talk about.
Well if you want to know then you’d better do what you were planning to do quick and come back home, and what’s his name again?
Dad!. Yes my love, I am your father and I love my daughters so much even though I haven’t been showing it a lot and I know what has been going on lately. So would you stop wasting precious time and get on with finding your love.
she jumps on her Dad and hug him, they both did. We love you Dad!. I know you do sugars. Now, off you go.
What about the wedding Dad?!. Surely as the king I can postpone the wedding a few fortnights.
They left the castle under the dark of night, two tiny figures on horses slicing through the dark with their future looming ahead. Neither of them knew their lives were about to change forever. Sequence of events that will alter the balance of love.

Palms sweaty, shirt drenched and muscles aching, here I was tiling the earth with all my strength. Not that it’s impressive. After I left camp and headed north, I found a small settlement of nice people that were willing to accept a lost soul into their home and try to heal it. Despite the fact that I’m at the farm more than half of the day, I still get to chat with most of the daughters of the farmers and that’s a treat on its own.
Hey there George, how was the night? I’m sure it was warm and sweaty and full of moans……
Timon, shut up, there were definitely moans and the night was cold, I mean what else would you expect sleeping on hay in a barn with few days to winter?.
Well, I did see you with that red haired girl with big front teeth before going to bed last night, the both of you all cuddly cuddly, and enough about sleeping in a barn, you were offered shelter at the creepy widow’s place but you declined.
Timon my friend, if only you’ll stay there with me there would no problem sleeping at all and I was only consoling a certain big teeth beauty because she thought a certain idiot was never going to notice her.
Wait, I’m the only one you call idiot!.
Hmm….. a smart idiot.
Then she’s never going to be noticed for this idiot has found the girl of his dreams, a girl unlike any other girl, a flower blooming in the right time.
Timon, you’ve been drinking again and it’s just past noon.
No friend, I have not been drinking, I went to visit my mum’s sister fiancé in the next village and I saw this two beautiful girls. One had hair like golden fire and the other had midnight dark air and boy are they pretty.
So you’ve seen the girl of your dreams huh?!
Yes. In fact, we are going to see them tomorrow.
Why?
The thing is, every man in the village is trying to gain their hands in marriage and I’ll be damned if I miss this opportunity.
Where do I come in?
Come on, you know I can’t do this without you, and you get the chance to see if anyone one them, the other one precisely, holds a candle to your dark haired beauty.
Alright I’m coming. What time do we leave?
I’ll come get you
The thought of seeing a girl that might actually compare to the dark haired beauty was great but the disappointment that follows hurts too much but this was something I had to do. And besides, who would want to break happy-go-lucky Timon’s heart.

How do I look in this dress Katie?
Katy, you look like a boy in that outfit with your hair packed like that. And mind you, those men won’t stop leering at you because of this, it only accentuated your derie. The marriage proposals would keep on coming. And I don’t know why you even care. You came here with the purpose of finding your love and since when do you care about looks?
Weeeell, It makes me uncomfortable. Let’s just gather our stuff fast and leave this village. My nerves are tingling likes something’s about to happen and I’m not going to like it.
We’ll just take what life gives us and what is it they always say? Something about love conquering all……
Love conquers all.
