A knight is nothing more than a soul with armor, it protects his soul so he can protect others...
It has been days since his attack and Flame felt a certain closeness to the village.
"Flame Flame! Come watch us play!", a young boy with glimmering brown eyes spoke tugging on the knights tattered cloak, "They won't let us play if no one is watching over us..." his voice sounded disappointed, almost sad infact.
"Don't worry little one, I will come watch over you and the children, I am a knight after all", Flame walked out with the young child a very small smile slowly crept over his lips as he walked out seeing the villagers. "Yay! Lets play!"
Flame watched over at the children as they enjoyed their play, there were still innocent. He looked around watching the very village he'd protected, it was wonderful. Had he really saved this village? Where the others as beautiful as this?As peaceful? Suddenly, it didnt matter if they were or not. Sadnessed once more grew over his heart as he looked over at the very hunters who saved him and he knew what he had to do.
"Sir Flame, why are you a knight?", a little girl spoke holding onto his cloak as he walked watching the children.
"It's because I protect the innocent little one"
"But if you protect the innocent and thats good, why do people hate you?"
"Because not everyone things the innocent should be saved..."
"So you're here to protect us forever from those bad people?" she looked up into his red eyes, hers brilliantly blue filled with the innocence only a child holds.
He looked at her for a moment but with a soft sigh looked up at the sky. "I wish I could stay little one, I have grown very fond of people here... the hunter. But I cannot stay... I am a soul that helps... my purpose has been set." She looked up at him with her innocent eyes now full of sadness, "But why can't your purpose be here? The village likes you... why cant you stay here with us?"
"Because I am the Lone Knight..."
"Then lone knight... why do you always stare at her?", she said as she ran off with the boys off in another area as Flame stood there almost paralized.
"Its... because I've grown too accustomed to this town..." He whispered to himself and looked out at the sunset. "Every soul has a purpose and every purpose brings happiness. My soul gives it to others but cannot hold it as its own. That is why I must keep going... no matter what...." He whispered to himself as he began to walk into the forest once more, this time as he left town he felt his heart sink but he knew his purpose could never be fulfilled there.
