Andraus was pulling up the last crop from the Field, placing it in the appropriate basket. Wiping his face on a cloth, Andraus picked up the baskets, and began heading back from the field, to the Hut he was staying at. Inside, he was greeted with the familiar face of his Mentor, Isaac Colvering, the head warrior.

"This is the last of it, Master Colvering. "He said, placing the baskets in the corners of the room.

"Good, thank you. I would've helped, but my back's been killing me as of late. "Isaac said. "Go and rest up. I'll have dinner done in half an hour. "he said.

Andraus didn't need anymore encouragement than that, and walked to his room. He laid down on his bed, and stared up at the ceiling, thinking. This was the perfect life. He didn't have a care in the world, he was strong enough to protect the place he called home, and he never needed anything he couldn't just make. However, in the back of his head, Andraus had a nagging feeling that something was missing.

Bell wondered threw the forest she had been separated from her guards when a pack of wolves had attacked her carriage. Her dress was ripped and dirty as where her hands and knees from falling so much her heels where lost to the forest. She heard a rustle and whimpered pressing herself against a tree when the things popped out of the bushes she screamed.

Andraus's eyes went wide, and he jumped up, running towards the sound. He knew the woods well enough, and was capable of navigating them with ease. He saw a woman being attacked by a pack of feral wolves, and jumped in the middle. He took a branch that had fallen from the tree, and knelt next to it. Grabbing a rock, he struck it with his knife, and the branch lit on fire. He then waved the branch out by the wolves, scaring them off. He placed the branch in one hand, and offered the girl his other.

"Are you lost, Miss?" he asked her.

Bell slipped around the tree using it as a shield. "Do not touch me I have no money with me." she thought he looked familiar but she was to scared to think about it. "Don't hurt me either." she added watching him.

"Ma'am, I'm not here to harm you, and frankly, this area isn't safe. I can take you to my hut, where my mentor is. He has a map of the area, and I can get you home. "he said, kneeling near her, but not moving closer. " You're gonna have to trust me."he said

"Give me your weapon." Bell ordered holding her hand out for it. "Then I will let you take me to your village." she didn't know how to use weapons but it would make her feel better.

Andraus looked at her with an arched brow, but shrugged. He took the Knife from his Belt, and gave it to her. He then held up the flaming branch. "Keep close. This will keep creatures from attacking us. Fire scares them. "he said.

Bell took both keeping the knife close and the fire at arms length following close glancing around worried. She sighed a little when she saw the camp fire and hurried to keep up with him.

"Master Colvering! "Andraus yelled.

The old man walked out, and tossed the branch in the fire, hugging Andraus. "thank god you're safe....."He said, than looked at Bell. "Oh, I see you found a Damsel in distress. "he said, with a small smile.

"Real funny, Master. I found her cornered in the forest, she was-...."Andraus stopped and looked at her. "Matter of fact, what were you doing in there? and who are you, may I ask?"he said.

"Those wolves attacked my carriage and separated me from my guards." Bell sniffled. "I am Bellinda Day first born daughter of the king Sebastian and queen Lilian of the kingdom Aurora." she stood straight and lifted the edges of the skirt on her dress and curtsied.

"The name is Andraus. I've lived in the woods since Master clovering found me as a child. "He said, offering a hand. He did, however, get a nagging feeling that he knew this girl.

Bell frowned at the hand and then back to him. "I am no man." she waited for him to bow chin jutting out stubbornly. "You will treat me like a lady forest dweller I'm sure your woman here would not shake your hand." she was studying him chewing the side of her cheek.

"Actually they would. It's a common courtesy."he said, lowering it. He then finally asked. "Hey...do I... Know you from so where?"

"Maybe I do travel a lot as a princess." Bell's eyes widened. "were you a prince?'' she asked and then frowned. "Why a lady should be treated as such and not as a man.'' she gripped her dress still waiting for a bow.

"I...don't know. Much of my life as a kid is...cloudy."he said. He remembered in a story about bowing to ladies, and decided to try t...to the best of his abilities.

Bell turned to his master "What do you know of his past?" she acknowledged his bow with a smile. "It's very good." she assured it wasn't court worth but she was just happy he had bowed.

"that's...a story best told in secret. Would you follow me?"he asked, leaving the boy confused.

Bell followed frowning. "He deserves to be told whatever your going to tell me."

"I do it to protect the boy. He's the son of Former King Trinimac Luthais. The king was good to my tribe, and took good care of us. When the old king was assassinated- yes, he was murdered, I don't believe that lie that he was going to sell out his own people to the neighboring kingdoms. Anyway, I found the boy, wounded but alive."The old man said. "I've raised him sense than. I've thought him to hunt, fight, and live off the land. It's better than learn your life was stolen."he said

'You have to tell him the truth." Bell frowned a little "he deserves to know..." she stopped and then grinned hurrying out and hugging Andraus. ''I knew it was you." she smiled up at him.

"Knew I was who?" he asked, handing her a fish on a stick. "you must be hungry. "he said, trying to be nice.

'Your Prince Andraus your kingdom is near my own. We had heard everyone in the kingdom had been killed we meet when we where little a few times.' Bell blinked at the fish ''Where is the plate and utensils?"

"Prince? Ma'am, with all due respect, do I look like royalty to you?"he asked. "Also, we eat it like this. Not exactly in the lap of luxury here."he said

'it's fine." Bell sighed "ask your master if he's any kind of man he'll tell you the truth." she stood waiting.

Andraus gave the Stick to Bell, and walked inside. After 15 minutes, Andraus walked out, holding a small pendent. "I....I don't even know what to say..."
