It was a warm sunny day as Lady Lenore raced through the woods riding her young horse hard and fast escaping the soldiers. She had ran away from home as soon as she had heard the rumors of the fact that since her parents had died and her uncle had taken over and his wife had in fact given birth to a son, Lenore was to be killed.
"Faster Stormy! Faster!" she urged her horse. Stormy detected the fear in Lenore's voice and gained sped as she raced through the woods. They came to the river and Stormy reared as Lenore tried calming her.
"Shh! Tiss alright Stormy…please go girl!" Stormy snorted in detest and shook her head. Lenore looked back and saw the soldiers riding closer. Suddenly, there was an arrow that whizzed by her ear and it struck a solider throwing him from his mount. She faced forward and saw animals on the other side of the shore, centaurs, unicorns, cheetahs, lions, and even griffins. Mounted on a griffin was a boy no older than Lenore a bow in hand.
"Cross over quickly Milady!" he yelled. She coaxed Stormy into crossing and a centaur took the reins pulling them out of the water. The soldiers looked at them and retreated into the woods. Lenore looked at the boy and nodded.
"Thank you." she said softly.
"Twas no problem Milady." he responded. "I am Renard, leader of the Rebellion."
"So there does exist a resistance against my Uncle's ruling."
"Yes Milady. We know that you are the true ruler of these lands."  
"I thank you for that but…I do not wish for you to go against my Uncle. He will stop at nothing to crush you all. I do not want any more bloodshed especially on my account." Renard looked at her and grasped her hand tightly in his.
"We will fight against your uncle Milady no matter what your wishes are." She looked into his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Fine. Then allow me to fight alongside you and do not try and talk me out of it." He laughed a sound not at all unpleasant to Lenore's ears and she felt her heart beat faster.
"I would not have it any other way Milady. You are excellent with a bow and sword as I well know."
"How do you know?"
"We were trained together by your father. You were three and five and I was two and ten remember? You got angry with me and sliced my shoulder with your blade." She blushed deeply as the memory washed over her.
"I remember now Renard. Let me apologize for that." she chuckled. He smiled flashing white teeth and Lenore tired to hide her feelings.
"Come. Let us get back home before nightfall." She clicked her tongue and Stormy followed Renard and the rest of the animals.
