A lot of people would give anything to be prince Harrington, but what they don't know is how miserable he was. Even though his parents were never home, they forbid him from leaving the castle. All he ever wanted was to be a knight, but no apparently that was 'too dangerous'.
So what?! What's the point of life if there is no excitement, nothing to get your adrenaline pumping, nothing to make your heart beat faster than ever before.
Steve wasn't going to waste his life in a castle doing nothing, he was going to find this experience.
At midnight he packed a bag and left.
He didn't know where he was going but he followed his gut. It felt right. He was finally free. He walked for miles, watched the sun rise behind the trees, saw a boulder with the letters E.M , a field full of sheep, hundreds of colourful leaves, another boulder with the same letters? Yep, he was going in circles. Shit!
Ok look for something, trees, leaves, river..RIVER! Follow the river!
He went down the stream following it to a bridge. But the bridge had a small group of people on it. And it looked like they were pretend fighting.
Steve walked up to the bridge and stood at one side.
"Hi"
They all stood still and stared at the blonde prince.
"I..I was wondering if.. maybe you could tell me where I am, and tell me how to get out of here?"
They stayed still as a tall wavy haired guy walked through.
"If thee shall pass this bridge by me, than ye must answer my riddles three!"
Steve stood in confusion.
"I'm ok??"
After a second they all began to laugh.
"I'm just messing with ya man"
The boy said as he approached the prince.
"What's up?"
"Oh.. um.. I just wanted to know how to get out of here"
" what are you some sort of messenger or something?"
"I'm a knight"
Steve said with pride.
"A knight?" He chuckled.
"Look I'm a knight, and you're obviously new at this, so what were you before the whole knight thing?"
"I was.. a prince"
They all stopped laughing and looked shocked.
"A prince?"
"Yep"
"Ok well, If I were you I would just turn back now, cause you aren't gonna last a day out there"
He pointed to a dark path on the other side of the bridge.
"What.. no I can't turn back.. I've come all this way.."
"Bye bye"
The group began to walk over the bridge but Steve ran after them.
"Please let me come with you"
"Are you kidding?! You'll get us all killed!"
"Please, I'm begging"
The knight stood. "Hm. A prince begging?"
"Beg more"
Steve looked back at the group before getting on his knees and praying up to the knight. "Please?"
The boy stood considering for a moment.
"Ok, get up"
Steve got up and followed them.
"But you do exactly what I say, you aren't a prince in these woods"
As much as Steve didn't appreciate the lack of respect he agreed the conditions.

*a while into walking*
"This is Dustin, Lucas, Mike, will and Erica"
"Hey" they all said.
"Hey guys" Steve said back.
"And I'm Eddie, Eddie Munson"
"Eddie Munson? E.M! That's on the boulder that I saw"
"Yea that's my rock"
"Your rock?"
"Yea it's the rock that I was sat on when I first met these losers"
He waved his hand by the group of youngsters in front of him.
"We are hellfire"
"Hellfire?"
"Yep. We go on quests and search for shit, like this"
He pulled out a necklace from under his shirt with a small pendant on it.
"Cool"
"So.. a prince huh?"
"Yea, prince Harrington, Steve Harrington"
"Prince Harrington is no longer"
He pulled out a sword and carefully placed it on each of Steve's shoulders.
"You are now sir Steve, the fearless"
Steve smiled at his new name.
"And what's your name?"
"Eddie, the banished"
"Banished?" Steve muttered.
As he was about to ask why he was the banished they heard a scream from ahead.
"Holy shit!" Dustin yelled.
They all pulled out their swords to a three headed dragon.
"What the f.." Steve said as Eddie threw him a sword.
"Here"
Steve took it but stood still, watching them all fight this beast.
He didn't know what to do. He watched as Eddie stood in front of the others to protect them and slash the tail of the thing.
Steve ran up to the dragon and went to slice one of its throats.
"Noooo!!!" He heard as the head fell to the ground.
"I did it I killed one of them!"
"What the hell did you just do?!" Lucas screamed.
Steve turned around to see the dragon with now five heads.
"When you cut off one head two more grow back" Eddie explained.
They fought it for a while until Steve finally saw the blood shed from the others. He ran to the dragon and stabbed it in the heart.
It wallowed in misery as it fell to the ground.
They all stood as Steve turned covered in blood.
"Yes!!!"
Everyone gathered around Steve and cheered for him.
Was this it? Was this his experience? Why did it feel... incomplete?
As everyone went to set up camp Steve saw Eddie sat by a large lake.
"Hey" he said as he sat by him.
"Why are you Eddie the banished?"
Eddie looked up to the bright moon and sighed.
"Because I was banished from my home."
"Why?"
"Because I was... different"
"Different how?"
"Just.. different, anyway you should wash because you look like a murder scene"
They both laughed as Steve removed his shirt and trousers and got in the water.
Eddie watched as Steve shivered from the cold, smirking.
Steve washed his face and washed off the blood.
"You coming in?"
"What? No no..no"
Steve swam over to Eddie and pulled him in by his shirt.
"You are so dead"
As they fought in the cold water, Eddie held Steve by his hips and Steve held on by eddies neck. They looked into each others eyes. Finally, the tension was broken as Steve leaned in and kissed eddies lips.
The feeling of eddies lips on his made his hearts flutter, his spine tingle as eddies hand run up and down his back.
They part for a moment.
"That's why I'm different"
"Then we can be different together"
They kiss again before Eddie carries Steve out of the water.
They dried off and went back to the camp. They sat by the newly lit fire, and Steve snuggle up by Eddie as he told stories of his past adventures.
