Hearts Burst Into Fire V

You know there is a legend on this cliff, this used to be a site of a castle.

So as the story goes, there lived a brave knight. It is spoken in the towns, the existence of a most beautiful princess that lived atop the cliff, stranded in the castle, high overlooking the view of the lands. It is said that whoever can convince her to come down, he shall have the honour of being with the princess.

The brave knight, ever gallant and courageous, stood up to the challenge. He was a man of legend, he has defeated many villians, slayed dragons and braved many challenges. He believed that he was someone so invincible, and he took it upon himself as a test. Because he knew, that no matter what everyone and even himself thought, the princess was well worth the trials.

He mounted his steed and rode forth towards the castle, and found the birthplace of the spoken myths, the colossal building, there towering before him. He approached it, and as his ride came to a stop he heard a voice.

"Who goes there?"

"Why it is me, nothing but a brave knight. I may not be the fairest, bravest and youngest knight in the region, by I have come by far to save you."

"Very well, speak."

"Oh princess, I have come to rescue you. Come with me and I shall take you away. Believe in me, for I shall try my best to aid you, and heal your sufferings. I have set aside all my personal beliefs, and I have brought gold and food and the promise of a good life."

"Stop. I've heard enough. Carry on, with whatever it is you are doing."

"But, your highness..."

"I have to go now, I have no time for such petty thoughts. And besides, the thought of ever escaping this horrible place has never struck me. Even so, I hadn't thought of it yet. Leave now, for you are not welcome here. "

And the knight marches on, but in his heart, he is begging for some answers to his many questions. None shall come though, and it is not known if it ever will.

And that is one of the many stories of this spot.
