Never too late: Part 1

Narrator's POV

As Jake stood in the meadow searching for the source of the scream he found a dejected Knight in the ground, along with a sword lying next to him. Upon taking a careful look at the sword and at the person, he realised that it was none other than Maland. However, something struck him differently. Maland appeared younger, and his right hand… it was devoid of any scar or any degeneration.

Jake walked slowly, unsure of whether or not he should say anything. Seeing him there, recalling his experience up until this time Jake realised that they were still stuck in the Enchanted Forest. "Hey" Jake finally called out to him. Maland who was lost in his own thoughts came back to reality. Turning around he realised that he was in a completely different environment.

"Who are you"? The young Maland asked. Somehow Maland felt as if he recognised the young boy in front of him, and yet somehow he felt like a stranger.
