Knights

Act Six

(A/n: Yay! They finally get to meet each other! Took too long for that to happen! Credit to the original artist!)

Danzell awoke and got up before anyone else. He didn't want anyone to know his identity yet for he didn't want the queen to know. Then again, maybe she figured it out somehow already.

In little to no time his armor was back on and his helmet covered his face from the others. The knights and scouts started to store awake as well, and the few still asleep were soon shaken awake.

"Carson, if she is here this should be the last day of travel until we go back home."

Danzell glance at leader A with a bored expression, one of disinterest. "Good." Was all Danzell replied with. He didn't want to waste his words on low lives.

"Well, we should be heading out as soon as possible if we want to find her quicker. I'm sure that the wizard has something up his sleeves in order to keep her to himself." Leader A continued with a small huff of annoyance. "Seriously, that man will be killed by the king's hand if we ever get him."

Danzell gave out an airy laugh before nodding in agreement. "I'm sure he will." He paused and grasped his bag he took with him and slung it over his shoulder. "We need to get going." He ordered sternly.

"Right." The leader turned his back on Danzell and commanded the troops. "Get packed, we will be leaving shortly."

There were few grumbles from tired men but they still complied. After a minute or two everyone got into position again and the traveling started. Scouts rushed ahead to explore the area for safe paths.

"Bear ahead!" One has called from the bushes. Few knights unsheathed their swords and marched ahead with the scout to get rid of the threat.

They came back not a moment later with blood on their weapons. Seconds later Danzell and the troops passed the dead bear.

Nothing seemed to be going wrong at the moment which is good news for everyone. "Stop!" Danzell annoyingly turned to face the man who yelled. He watched as that man jumped from the back of the wagon and peered at one of the wheels. "It's broken! We need to fix it or there will be more damage on the wagon." He stated.

The coward pranced over to the broken wheel and examined it. "I can replace it! It will just take a moment."

Then the coward spoke and commanded men to lift up the wagon so he could start replacing it. He unscrewed the wooden cap and tried to force the wheel out, but it didn't budge. He struggled again and it still didn't budge. A knight bent down to help, and this time it popped off, but without making a crack sound.

One of the men holding up the wagon shifted uncomfortably. "Can we get something to prop this thing up?! It's fucking heavy!" As if on que leader B grabbed a couple of bags and stacked them on top of each other. He wedged them under the wagon until it was safe to release.

"I need rope!" Commanded the coward, The knight next to him getting the rope for him. "Thanks." He wrapped it around the wood tightly. "This will take a while to fix, but it will be fixed soon." He informed everyone on this news as he rummaged through the wagon for something.

Danzell growled lowly as he watched him take out nails and his dagger. Putting them in place he used the hilt of his dagger to hammer the nails in the wood, securing its form for the wheel. They all lost track of time by the time the wheel was placed back into the wagon along with the cap. "There, It should be done now." He placed his hands on his hips and smiled at his handy work.

Danzell glared at the sky, it's already midday and their travels have just been fixing up a wagon for a couple of hours, how frustrating. "Then how about we all get going? I don't want this day to be wasted by just mechanical work." Danzell shot a look at the path ahead of the troops, the few scouts rising and rushing forward. The knights rushed into their own positions and stared the match through the forest again.
