It was a cool afternoon when Peregrine Alexander took his horse Vollo out for his evening hack. The air was cool and chilly, and the clouds were drawn over the skies, as the sun had not shone its face for the entire day. Because of the cold air, Peregrine had thrown his black wool cloak on and had the hood drawn over his face, throwing his features into shadow. As usual, he was armed with his Gaelic Claymore sword, his Olde English longbow made of yew and black in color along with its quiver of arrows fletched with the feathers of the Peregrine falcon to ensure their fast flight and accurate aim, and finally his daggers, hidden wherever he had hidden them, ready to be pulled out should all else fail. This youth could also perform magic well, so he was armed that was as well, though he showed no evidence of that.
Vollo came through the woods at a springing, jaunty canter. Kicking up leaves and moist dirt from under his powerful hooves.

Melinda was ridding Serenity with her blue cloak on and her white dress on her hood was up as she was riding she heard something in the deep part of the woods. She had left her dagger in her room. "Fine time to leave my dagger in my room." She said to herself as she went up to the noise the next thing she knows she was being grabbed off her horse. "HELP ME SOMEONE."She yelled out as Serenity ran off.

Peregrine raised his head as he heard the sound of a girl screaming for help. Vollo raised his head as well, and less then a moment later, the pair were off through the trees at a gallop. Vollo was the fastest horse in Erroterra, known to beat Thoroughbreds and Quarter horses at any race they threw at him. But his real talents were jumping and Dressage, And now the jumping challenge was presented to him as a log bared his and Peregrine's path to the screams. Peregrine didn't even need to ask his horse to jump, Vollo galloped up to it, checking his pace before he took off and leaped across the obstacle. they were getting closer now. Peregrine leaned over his black mane and as they burst into the clearing ahead, Vollo reared and Peregrine drew his sword.
"Halt I saw!" He said in a loud, commanding voice.

Melinda heard Peregrine's voice and smiled. The man holding her took off her hood as he was dragging her away. "Let me go."She yelled at the man. She was trying to get away from him. As he looked at her with a grin. She saw there and got even more scared now.

"I said, Halt!" Peregrine demanded, his voice increasing in volume. When the man did not, but instead grinned in the lady's face, Peregrine squeezed Vollo's sides with his calves and the sensitive black staallion shot forward like an arrow from a bow. Vollo brought his master right up to th struggling pair, then the horse stopped abruptly, allowing his master to put his spring steel blade on the throat of the man dragging the woman away.
"Would you like this blade through your throat, Scethian?" Peregrine snarled venomously to the man.

The man fell to the ground. Melinda wasn't use to fighting. She didn't like blood that much either. So when she saw the blood she passed out and hit the ground. Just then Serenity came running up to Melinda. She stood there waiting for Melinda to get up.

"Get back to Sceith." Peregrine commanded the man, "Before I kill you, I am kinder then the other knights. You have been warned." He dangerously. Then he straightened up on his horse and looked around at the girl he had helped.
"Greetings." He said, in salutation. But then he noticed she was unconcious. With a sigh of slight irration, he dismounted and lifted the girl off the ground and set her upon her horse, or at least he assumed the white Thoroughbred standing there was her horse, and then took the mare's reins in one hand and mounted Vollo while still holding the girl's horse's reins.

Serenity won't move from her spot. Serenity shook her head no to Peregrine. As the wind started to pick up alittle bit. Melinda started to come to. As she looked around. "Where am I?"She asked softly.

"Ah, you're awake." Peregrine said as he noticed the girl coming round. "Well, to answer your question, you are in the land of Erroterra, in the hands of the Silmaril Knights and you have nothing to fear, unless, that is, if you're a Sceithian spy." He said, "Are you feeling alright?" He added, concerned.

"I'm fine I think. I go to school here."Melinda said as Serenity pulled on her reins. "She doesn't like other people holding her reins."Melinda said softly to the man.

"How come I haven't seen you before?" Peregrine asked curisosly. "I would have seen you in class, right? I teach most of them and whatever classes I don't teach I attend as a student. Oh, right, sorry." He apologized, handing the girl her reins.

"I am Peregrine." Peregrine replied, doing a short bow while sittin on Vollo's back. "That is strange, for even if you shy in classes, I'm sure I would have noticed you."

Serenity started to lead Melinda to a lake."Serenity what are you doing?"She asked Serenity. "Sometimes she has a mind of her own.

Peregrine looked at her curiosly. This was the strangest girl he had ever met, and he marveled at the fact that she did not control her horse.
"Are you in need of assistance?" He called from the lake's edge which he had ridden Vollo up to. "Or are you exploring the waters?" His tone wasn't mocking, it was merely curious.
