The maids and servant gather at his door, wondering what is wrong. His father's personal guard, Saint, a dragon whose face and true name no one knows or seen, walks up and knocks on the door shooing the maids and servants away." Sire? " he says opening the door to the room and stepping in. the young king is nowhere in his room, but Saint notices one of the windows is wide open. He sighs and walks over to it, looking out at the land bellow. He then sets out looking for the young king, searching every where for him. Saint then hears the sound of a harp, the young king's favorite instrument. He follows the sound and it leads him deep in the woods, but here, near a small lake, sits the young king.
He plays his harp, a soothing and calming sound can be heard as he plays. Then he stops as Saint draws near. The young king looks up "So, you found me. Saint?"

Saint nods "Your majesty, you must stop running away like this. Your people need you to lead them. "The young king sighs and nods " I know. I will, lets get back to the palace. "The young king heads off, Saint right behind him.

" The strange person looks up at him then reaches up and removes the hood reviling that it's the young king. Saint gasps and falls back on his bed " Y-your m-majesty!?!" The young king looks up at Saint and smiles slightly "Shhh. Not so loud, you'll wake everyone up. "He smiles and stands up walking over, Saint sits up on his bed" Y-your majesty, what are you doing here? "The young king smiles softly at Saint "I want to thank you for bringing me to my senses.

I wanted to ask you something "The young king turns to him." Yes? "Saint stands up and walks over." I wanted to ask if I may be your personal guard. "The young king smiles slightly "Of course, I'd love to have you as my personal guard." The young king smiles and heads out shutting the door on his way.
