David nodded and walked out a few minutes after she had gotten his horse tacked up. He took the reigns from her hands and swung onto Jasper's back. He smiled slightly, glad to be back on his horse again. He patted Jasper's neck, he loved his horse a lot.

Alex smiled at him, "Alright, ready to get going?" she asked. She tightened her grip on the reigns. Flame was one of the only things she really loved besides adventure, and though she had raised him, he was a pain in the butt sometimes and still young. He enjoyed testing her while she was on his back. She didn't mind much though, he kept her one her toes and in the end was utterly devoted and would come when called.

David nodded once. "Yup." He said, kicking Jasper's sides. The beautiful horse began forward at a slow pace at first, gradually pulling himself into a trot, then a slow gallop. David sat back and relaxed as his horse did the work, he held onto the reigns though tightly. He smiled and waved a goodbye to all the people he had met.

Alex didn't look back as she followed him out of town, then again, she never did. Looking back didn't result in anything good. She didn't want to get attached. She needed freedom to be happy, or at least that was what she believes.

David sat up a little taller on Jasper's back than before, showing much pride in riding out of this beautiful place. He could live here, yes, but he wouldn't be the prince of this place. Besides, this was it's own sanctum. Not part of the kingdom his parents owned, so therefor he would have no power over it. He thought about it. Power or happiness?

Anna slept for a few more minutes before waking up again and sitting up. She pulled on a thin robe, tying it in the front with the lace ribbons and smiling. She needed to get brunch made for David, she still didn't know that he had went out on his own. She believed he was still in bed, sleeping.

Alex knew she would probably visit this place again, it was nice. Her mind turned back to dancing with David last night. That had been fun quite fun really. She hadn't felt the way she had dancing with anyone in a long time.

Felix looked up from his book, "sleep alright?" he asked.

Anna nodded, "Very well." She said, pulling her hair back into a braid. She smiled and began walking to the doorway. "I'll be downstairs, making lunch." She said, looking around. Where wash that lazy maid she had hired a few days ago? Oh well, she liked prepairing her own food anyway. It gave her something to do.

Felix nodded, closing his book he rose, "I think I'm going to make my rounds, see what's going on this morning." he said.

Alex urged Flame into a quick canter, "We'd better pick up the pace if you want to get there in time to eat brunch." she said, glancing over at him.

David nodded and kicked Jasper's sides a bit harder. The beautiful white stallion pulled ahead a bit faster, his legs eating the ground hungrily as they began to get back into familiar territory. Truthfully, he didn't mind missing brunch because he knew he could always go back and get something to eat from the kitchen or he could always go out and pick a fresh apple or a fresh orange.

Alex smiled at him before returning her attention to their surroundings they were nearing the forest and she put a hand on the hilt of her sword. She herself loved the forest, but for the prince's sake she was weary.

David smiled, care free as he rode through the forest. But this time, Robin was in the trees waiting for him. Readying his arrows in his bow, Robin set his gaze onto David. He pulled back with a great force and waited. Then... Zing! The arrow flew from the bow, piercing into David's shoulder. Robin cursed, grabbing another arrow. He had missed the kill spot, he needed to fire again. David screeched with pain, flipping off of Jasper's back and falling onto the hard ground below. Robin dove down from the tree, running at David with a sword ready. Meanwhile, the prince lay on the ground unconsious.

Alex cursed loudly under her breath, defeating the purpose of it being under her breath, but she didn't care. She turned Flame, kicking him in front of Robin's path, between this evil man and her prince and charge. Scowling, she held her sword her hand.

Robin stopped in a fighting stance. "Give me the prince!" He demanded, glaring into her beautiful blue eyes. He stood unphased, his hand gripping the handle of the sword with great grip. David moaned, soon rolling over onto his side and soon his stomach. His head was cut from the fall and blood was running down the side of his face. He moaned loudly, trying to pick himself off the ground.

Alex set a look of determination on her face, "Death first!" she exclaimed. She was sure he wouldn't have much of a problem with that, mentally, but she knew she was just as good, or better than most men with a sword or bow. She could tell he would be a challenge, but she wasn't about to break.

Robin smirked, "So it shall be!" He said, rushing towards her with his sword ready. Meanwhile David was still trying to get up, unaware that his injuries may be serious. He still hadn't noticed that the cut on his head was still bleeding and that wrist was broken. Only when David tried to use his wrist did he notice the intense pain. He yelled out as his wrist gave an awful crunch sound as he applied weight to it. He was dazed and confused.
