Just beyond the edge of the woods she sat. Her long silver locks tied into a tight braid that fell below her waist touching the soft warm ground on which she sat. She was a young girl, of around eighteen years, twenty at most.
She stared off into the distance, her ice blue eyes slicing through the clearing that was before her. The smell of fresh green grass floated all around her, with a hint lavender, her favorite flower. “Would he come?” she wondered. “Would he take the chance?”
Looking up into the sky she felt the warmth of the suns rays touching her skin. The warmth was greatly welcomed. It had only been a few minutes since she had arrived at their specified meeting point. She was anxious to see him. Playing with the fabric of the lilac dress she wore she resituated herself into a more comfortable position; she knew she could be waiting a while.
To occupy herself she began to pick the dandelions from the grassy area she was residing in. Carefully she twisted the many stems together to create a beautiful golden crown, which she place on top of her silver braided hair.
Again she looked off across the clearing, watching, waiting, but still there was no sign of him. “I’ll go for a walk” she decided. Standing she smoothed the cresses from her dress and began to walk further away from the edge of the woods.
Hearing something behind her she quickly turned around hoping it was him. A bushy red tail stuck out of the grass swishing back and forth as it moved closer to the shade of the huge oak trees. Letting out a giggle she watched as the little red tail bounded out of the grass revealing a sly little fox, and instantly disappeared into the shadowy woods beyond.
Sighing she resumed her walk, ambling here and there about the grassy area picking wildflowers as she went. After what seemed ages she heard the beating of hooves approaching from a distance.
Eagerly looking in the direction of the noise she saw a huge black horse advancing towards her. Her heart leaped with in her, “He is here! He has come!” Nervously she re-smoothed her dress and rearranged the flower crown upon her head.
“Good day fair maiden.” called the rider who was now only twenty or so yards away. Blushing she curtsied and called back “Good day Sir Knight. I did not think you would come.” A great smile broke across her sun kissed face as she look up to see the handsome man who made his approch and now dismounted his horse and was making his way towards her.
