The Deadland

"No! I was lost but I have finally found out where I am, my lady. But I think you are still lost. Shall I guide you?" my eyes widened when a bit of mist cleared and my eyes finally fell on the face of the man standing in front of me.

It was the same knight who had died while taking the blow that was aimed at me. He should have been lying limp on the ground but here he was standing in front of me. 

Could it be that I was still dreaming as I was too exhausted and that's why I was imagining the man since I was feeling guilty about his death.

The man was in his young age as he had not even got married. He was a chirpy person with a warm personality. I had never thought that he would die because of me. 

"What happened, my lady? Are you not happy to see me here?" asked the boy as she blinked and I finally came back to my senses. Out of all the knights, he was one of the most pampered by her and other knights, since he was the youngest among them.
