Rescue

“Did you hear the news” the news boy yelled “The king was kidnapped.”

Let me introduce myself. I am Sir Jonathan the Great of Camelot. I reported to the Round Table where Sir Lancelot told me to rescue the King. That very day I set off on horseback only with my sword and a little food in direction of the faded sand tracks.

I rode for days until I came across an army’s camp hanging Camelot colors on the old stone walls surrounding tents. I went inside the walls, but apparently it wasn’t a good time.  The army was preparing for battle.  I started to leave. Once I was on the trail again I saw an army in the distance charging at me. Frightened the horse jumped as I led it out of the way. Before I could act the attacking army surrounded me.  The only way out was to go through a section of the enemy soldiers.  I took out my sword and sped through the blockade.  When I was away from the battle the enemy still continued to fire arrows. Fortunately, I was not hit and was able to get away.  They didn’t chase after me.

I started to see a castle in the distance with enemy colors hanging over the stone walls.  As we approached it two pike men guards tried to kill me, but they didn’t have a chance because I had been training with my sword since I was a little boy. I entered the castle and went to a jail cell to save the King.  Right when I opened the cell door an elite swordsman showed up.  I fought him while also shielding the King.  We slashed swords until our hands were about to collapse but right then I stabbed him.  I did not kill him, but it made him faint, giving me time to steal a horse for the king and head back to Camelot trying to avoid battles.
