Elizabeth sighed as she got to the shop, it had just closed and people were just leaving from the back. She realize she wouldn't be able to get in until tomorrow.
 
The general buzz of what was going on escaped Seth. Why are all these people here? he wondered. "Umm, if I might be so bold as to ask, what is everyone doing here?"

Brio looked at Seth. "Me, my brother, and William are finding a new home here in the forest." she said.
 
"Why the forest?" Seth asked. "Whats wrong with the town?"

"People are being recruited. I dressed up as a boy, and they recruited even me. As my brother. Plus, taxes are very bad, and we want to escape that all..." she said, and her brother, Derek, nodded in agreement. "Me and Brio are orphans..."
 
Seth now felt a little ashamed. Being a kinght he did not have to pay that tax. He knew that it had to be stopped, but he also knew that it paid his wage.
Seth rubbed the back of his head. "Oh, well..." Seth put his arm down, gripping the hilt of the sword. He was a knight, a knight of the people. How could he stand by, wage or not, and watch these people suffer. He drew his sword and kneeled before them all, sword laid out in his hands. "I offer you my sword."
 
Derek nodded in agreement with Will. Though he looked at Seth. "We couldn't. Y ouneed it, and...."

"We jsut couldn't except that..." Brio finished for him...
 
Seth chided himself for not speaking clearly. "I'm sorry," he said, "I meant to say I wish to join you. As a knight...and as a free man. I wish to help you."
 
As Elizabeth was headed back towards the cabin in the woods where she had left Harry, she spotted a glint of silver, and saw the others. She gaped and wondered where the man had gotten such a sword.
She came up to them and curtseyed slightly.
