Promises of a Better Tomorrow

Bonny Jeans Pov     The tall grassy steppes are littered with bodies. There had been a raid in the village due east and those who could fled.... But many of them were wounded and fell in exhausted heaps. My sister and I found them here as we came to render aid. We had heard from a runner that raiders were slaughtering the out villages. Ainsley and I decided we would come and help heal all we could. We knew the Lord of the lands had been informed but many assumed he didn't care about the villages.      After many hours I look up to see horses coming our way. Sighing I continue to work on my patient's leg. As I finished I heard the horses come into the camp. Suddenly I hear Ainsley call my name. Standing up I stretch then head over to where she is standing. As I reach my sister I see a man still sitting on the tall black horse with white around his front two ankles. Looking up at the man. His long brownish red hair was pulled back. He had strong chiseled features, and grey green eyes, his nose was broad but looked to have been broke a few times in his life.-He was broad shouldered man. With arms that showed they wielded a sword daily. I realize he is the Lord of the lands. My eyes widen when he says my name then invites us to come to the keep. Ainsley accepts smiling her big bright smile that barely reached her ice blue eyes with emerald green flecks. She pushed back a lock of her strawberry blond hair which had sprang loose from the cloth in which held her hair back. I watched as Jamie's eyes looked my sister over. I raise an eyebrow at her as I turn around and go to help another person now that discussions were done...
