I walked down the street. It was only the third day of being a "real" knight. The cobble stone street outside of my door was always crowded with mules carrying tools and stuff to sell. Small children walked down the road, playing with wooden toys, hitting a wooden hoop with a stick, and playing with wooden swords and shields.
I walked back into my home, through the back door, and to the stable, where my only horse was kept.
Steel, my charger, was waiting patiently in the stable. I opened the stable and called him out. Steel came to me. I put on the armor that made Steel a charger, along with the new robe that had the flag of Greterym on it, on Steel. I mounted and Steel galloped to the gate and jumped right over it.
I stopped him next to the front of my home. I dismounted and went inside to retrieve my weapons and my plate-armor, which I don't usually wear on top of my chain-mail. After getting them, I mounted Steel again. "This armor is heavy," I said to myself as I grabbed Steel's reins and kicked Steel's side to get him going.
As soon as I got to the main street, a concerned-looking peasant stopped me. "What is it, man?"
I asked the peasant.
"Sire, sorry to bother you sir, but I heard Draukus might be planning against Greterym. As a knight, I thought you should know,"
He told me.
"Thank you, but I already knew that. Rumors travel quick. Thanks for being concerned, though," I told him as I grabbed the reins again.
"Wait! Sir!" he shouted when he saw I was about to ride away, "Sir, there is something else! The King's men has told him about these rumors. The king thinks it is true, as well! Have you not heard he has ordered all the fighting men to him this evening?"
"That, I have not heard, peasant. I thank thee for the news. But I do not know where all of the fighting men will meet, do you?"
"Yes, sir, Just outside of the walls protecting this city, the city of the king. I believe he has said to meet over on the east side, close to the base of the mountains. And sir, I am not a peasant, I am a messenger, sir," The peasant said, and he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
