Sir Adam shifted
in his seat. He put down his fork and reached out and took her hand in the two
of his, “He had two baby dragons right at his feet. He threatened to
step on them. I couldn’t wait for backup. Then
letting go of her hand he added, “Luca says they are his family, yet he is
willing to kill them rather than let them be royals.” Sir Adam raised his hands
palms upward, “I just couldn’t let it happen.”
He put his hands down and grabbed the edge of the table and leaned
forward, “So I ran right in front of him. I threw the sword over toward the babies
and told them, touch the sword!” Sir Adam leaded back and crossed his arms. “They
touched it and disappeared as Luca prepared to fry me. I ran for the woods and
hid under a hill with my shield over me. I felt the hair on my neck singe as
the fire sailed above. Luckily, the hill I was hiding under was a wet moss
covered holey log. I crawled into it and hid as I saw the dragon plow by. When
I was sure he was well past, I climbed out and retrieved my sword and headed
home.” Sir Adam took up his fork and started to eat again.
“Promise
me you won’t face the dragon alone again, Adam. Take me with you. I would
rather be at your side working as a team. Please. I beg you. I know we could be
at least as good as team as Sir Patrick and Lady Carlea.”
Adam looked up from his plate and
saw the pleading in Lady Eva’s eyes, “As you wish, my dear sister. Though being
as good as those two is a tall order,” Sir Adam said softly. Adam rose, reached
over, and took Lady Eva’s hand and kissed it. Lady Eva smiled at him good-naturedly
and mussed his hair.
From
that time on, Sir Adam and Lady Knight Eva always traveled and worked for the
kingdom together. They were the finest team in the kingdom and all knights are
inspired to be like the Brave Sir Adam and The Great Lady Eva. The End.
