Grooming

Katherine walked into the stable and right to her mare, Artemis. "Hello, my friend," she greeted Artemis as she got out her brushes and began to groom her, all the while humming a peaceful happy tune and thinking of her wedding day.

Walking into the stable from the other end Sir-Helios leaned on the wood looking out to the open field knowing that one day it will be covered with body and blood He sighed thinking where was his love he hadnt seen her in sometime and he missed her so much since he and her were to be married he wanted to give her all she wanted but she isnt anywhere to be found. He said to himself thinking he was alone "Where are you My love I miss you so"

Katherine heard him and quickly threw down the brush and pulled out the daggers that her future husband gave her. "Hark! Who goes there?" she asked as she walked slowly out of the stall.

He pulled out his sword "Who be here" He asked ready to kill

"I am Lady Katherine Lorel and am engaged to a strong warrior. Who might you be?" she asked in return, ready to fight who ever it was.

"Ms kate? Tis Sir-Helios"

"Sir Helios? What are you doing out here?" she asked, putting away her daggers.

"I could ask you the same Ms.Kate" He puts away his sword

"I twas just grooming my mare, Artemis, and thinking of how wonderful life is," she said. "Now what about you, Sir Knight?"

"I came here to think Ms.Kate"

"About what?"

"I was thinking about where is my love i havent seen her all day" He sighed

"Oh," she said. "I wish I could help tell you were she is, but I do not know."

"I over heard about our marriage to leon one of my knights told me somethings that you guys said"

She smiled and nodded. "We will be wed in five days," she said and then realized something. "Would you and the Princess like to come? You could even invite the King."

"He also told me you said you didnt want us to be there"

"I wasn't sure at the time, but now I'm just so happy that I want to invite everyone I can," she said with an excited smile.

He was still very unhappy with those words she had said about them "I was going to ask if you can be the maid of honor at our wedding"

"Wouldn't it be the Princess that should ask that? But even so, it would be an honor to be the maid of honor at your wedding. Would the Princess mind doing the same for mine? Leon had already asked his sister to do it, but now that I am in happier spirits I would much rather prefer Princess Lilli to do the honors."

"She will be honored to do it"

"That is good," she smiled. "Now I think I will go back to my horse." She then skipped off and began grooming Artemis again.
