Chapter 23: I Missed This

"Let's take a quick break!" Sir Aeron called out. Everyone unsaddled their horses and allowed them to breath for a bit while we snacked.

"Anything interesting happened since I've been gone?" I asked.

"Sir Nigelle is officially a father!" One of the knights yelled out.

"Congratulations Sir Nigelle!" 'Wow! This big lump is now a father!'

"Thanks Charli."

"What's the little one's name?"

"Mariella."

"A marvelous name!"

"I'm going to raise her to be a strong fighter just like her old man!" He flexed his biceps.

"And she will kick your butt one day!"

"Oh, I hope she will." He laughs

"Alright, let's keep moving!" Sir Aeron strapped the saddle back onto his horse. Everyone got back onto their feet and followed suit.

After moving a ways into the forest, Sir Nigelle hopped off his horse and checked the ground.

"Still looks like they are quite a ways out." Sir Nigelle dusted off his hands.
