Walk Around

[Aslan]

Aslan was wandering around the kingdom, looking at the kingdom's situation. The sun was shining brightly on that day. The sky was clear, and Aslan is in a good mood. This kingdom's citizen was working like usual. If they passed Aslan, they will greet him. What a good day for a stroll, I need to stay updated with the Kingdom's situation. I must see them with my own eyes. Aslan said in his mind. He was passing by the market, and saw some trading activities. The kingdom's was in a hard time, the soil around them isn't good. They only have several Grapes, and Olive tree.

A specific citizen was a female of a hugely poor family, she had long burnett red hair that seemed to need of a good wash. She saw the king and gave a wide smile, some teeth were missing but just a few, hardly noticeable. She approached the king, goodness knows why. She gave a bow her raggedly old clothes wrapping around her. "Your majesty? Would you mind if I grace you with my presence and ask you various of questions? I would understand if that is a not, but I would like to know so that word may spread from my lips of your kindness and strength. I would love to hear the truth from your words my great king."

The day seemed to be about midday and temperatures were cool with the winter coming. It certainly will be hard for everyone to survive the winter with such little food. Most of the population would probably die from hypothermia before even the snow falls. The kingdom was becoming desperate and at this time needed its king to make announcements and to decide the Kingdom's fate... Winter will be coming and it will not be kind.

[Aslan]

It's quite a cold day, a female citizen came nearer toward Aslan. She came from a poor family, Aslan could notice it from her clothes. Aslan felt pity on her. He knew the kingdom was in a big crisis, the food production was poor. She gave a bow. Morning, Citizen. Aslan greeted her. She told me something, she wanted to ask me questions. Well, questions always needed. You may ask. Aslan gave a big smile, and let's sit there. He pointed to a bench near them.

[Ginger]

He answered her, she could not believe he actually answered her. He motioned to a bench and with a nod she sat down next to him. "My king... I do not know how to ask this.. but please what do you plan to do about this drought and starvation? Disease is knocking on everyone's door. My family is starving, my husband works both days and nights just bring a small bag of meat. Please my king tell me, what do you plan to do?" She waited for the king's response, then spoke another question, "There is rumors of a rebellion growing, my king you must do something before the worst happens... war... What do you plan to do? Please tell an innocently lady, what is it you plan to do." she was practically starting to shake from the cold coming in, it seemed to just stick the the lady's joints and just made things that much worth. She may not last long, but then would anybody at this time of year? With a drought?

[Aslan]

Hmmp, Aslan was thinking, this kingdom problem is too many, but he's the king and he must do something. Well, for the rebellion, the security of the kingdom must be increased, and I will take some trusted people to protect me, and send them to find this rebel. About the Starving, we need to gather all provisions. Every person will get the same portion of food, so, it's enough. We'll ask other kingdoms to give us some food. I was planning to expand this kingdom, and search for a good soil. Said Aslan to the woman, explaining about his plan. Aslan closed his eyes, and exhaled. The soil of this kingdom is bad, he need to find a good soil. Genesis 41 inspired me, this is what we need to do. Said Aslan in his mind.

[Ginger]

The women nodded taking all of this to heart, everything will work out... her family will be saved... There is still hope left... She gradually began to wander off to leave the King alone... But others surrounded him asking pretty much the exact same questions and having the exact same worries, like nobody else but the women understood what was going on.

A white haired young lady about the age of 15 lurked in thr crowd watching. She shook her head thinking the poor king was trapped by his own people and needed help. She rushed into the crowd, then shouted "Hey! Leave the King alone! He has everything figured out!" When every civilian stopped to looked at the white haired women, she quickly went to the King and grabbed his sleeve then dragged him away from the people, hoping he would consider following her out of the people's bothersome questions and such. This women seemed to have leader written all over her, and had a certain fire most females in the area did not have.

[Aslan]

He was surrounded by others, asking the same questions like the previous woman asked. He couldn't stay with this crowd, he must leave. A young girl was shouting, and asked the others to leave him alone. Then, she grabbed his sleeve and dragged him, Aslan didn't knew why this girl dragged him. He asked the young girl politely, 'What's your name? And why you help me out there?'. This girl seems like she wanted to say something.

[Ginger]

"I helped you out, because nobody deserves to be asked billions of pointless questions and overwhelmed by his own people. Also it was the right thing to do." She paused looked around, they were now standing in a dark ally were few dare go to... She turned to him fists clutched, "I want to join your Knights! I want to help you fight for the kingdom and what is right. I know I am a woman, but please give me a chance. I will do anything to help you out." She seemed pretty brave and talked like she knew what she was doing... In all honesty she only a little swordsmanship... and nothing else. Also she had no pokemon, powers, or anything. All and all.. All she had was a strong heart, determination, and a hot body... That was about it... Though she may be able to learn. Maybe learn something new.

[Aslan]

Aslan got the point of this girl, he felt a really strong passion in her. He could accept this girl as his knight, but this girl is too young, she's like 15 years old. 'Well, I could accept you, but you're too young for this thing. I could help you with training, but if you wanted to be my knight, your age is insufficient. Young girl like you need to study in schools' said Aslan. He hoped that this little girl could understand.

[Ginger]

She felt his words hit her hard, she ended up becoming more fired up than before.. Of course missing the whole point of her age being a factor. "Oh! So this is because I am a girl! Isn't it! you know what king! Just because I am 15 does not mean I am too young! I am old enough to get marries, have kids, and lose my life. But not old enough to become a knight? Well Screw you, I don't care what you say. I wanna train under you watch to become ONE of YOUR Knights. Nothing will stop me." she pretty much looked him square in the eye yelling all this, she was not going to back down. Tears however began to fall, she had stood up to say everything the wanted.. but there was still an empty sorrowfulness in her heart... Something that may never go away.. Why? She was already part of an arrange marriage... Her family taught her how to be a married woman, for some rich fat lord... and she wanted none of it.. She wanted to be adventurous.. and just something better than that.

[Aslan]

That girl shouted at Aslan, she told everything. Tears began to fall from her eyes, 'I knew your feeling, but, it's too risky for you. Your family needed you, I couldn't risk your life. But, you could join the training if you wanted. When you're ready, you could be my knight. I just don't want to see a little girl, risk her life for a man like me. Said Aslan, he couldn't see a little girl lost her life because protecting someone. Fighting enemies aren't easy, your life is at stake. Once, the edge of the enemy's sword hit you, you'll start to fall to the ground, and died.

[Ginger]

"I can?! I can really train!" her tears and anger seemed to have all vanished, she seemed to be jumping with joy. She wanted to hug the king, but that was not right and well.. She did not want to push her luck. With a huge smile she ran off to tell her family.. That well she spoke to the king and will not train and maybe become a night. They'll laugh and not buy it.. but hey one day...
