The green knights of Olde Foxbury
Everyone came to sit around the bonfire, to celebrate the last day of the Grande Tourney, the festival of Olde Foxbury!
All of Olde Foxbury gathered to give a hooray to the Grande Tourney Champions, those who showed their combat skills and entertained with exciting fights and a noble and courageous attitude. The younglings however just waited for the gripping campfire stories some of the more seasoned champions would always love to tell.
Suddenly the ceremonial was interrupted by a group of five figures, they wore dark green suits of armor. Mayor Minstrel seemed to recognize them.
"Oh you are back!!!" the Mayor exclaimed.
Mistrel greeted the knights and explained that they are the legendary warriors that once saved the village from being destroyed by an outside threat.
One of the green knights shook their head, "Ah no that was a long time ago, and we're surely not legendary, we did what we had to!"
"Yes, and we just came back from our travels and wanted to say hi before we take off again!" said another knight.
Mayor Minstrel nodded and escorted the knights to a place where they could rest for the night.
The eyes of the younglings widened, they asked to hear the story of how they saved the village.
One of the older champions spoke up:
"Oh you guys wanna hear that story, I was a lil kiddo when it happened!", Rhoenda said.
The younglings begged "Please please please tell us!"
"Alright guys!", she smiled, and the younglings perked up all the ears they had.
"A long long time ago a sinister wizard appeared in Olde Foxbury, they first pretended to help keep a herb in check that spread throughout the whole village and threatend to grow everyewhere, destroying our rich flora! Well turns out, the wizard was the one who brought the bad herb, because they wanted to become Mayor and rob our goods, and to top it off they schemed to make our fighters engage in wars with other villages!
"Ooooh!" the younglings booed.
"What a mean guy!"
"Long story short, under the skilled guidance of the green knights our beloved village was able to team up and defeat the wizard. Peace was restored."
"Yay!" the younglings sighed with relieve.
"That's awesomesauce!" one youngling said.
Rhoenda whispered to herself, "Thank you legendary green knights! <3"
