Ok here's My Short Story. I shall title it....

Knightless Knights

Somewhere far in a different world, there is a place called Lost Forest. In the Lost Forest there are a people that live in fear throught there lives. For a King, who's lost all, control's there very existance. Their lives, their food, their god, their love. No one in the land dare to challage for their lives. And to be frank, in this land it rain, and not just rain, but rain all the time. These people had never seen a sunny day, felt the warmth of the rays of the sun on there face. It was a dark place, and nothing grew here. So these people hunt and herd day in and day out. While they did nothing but struggle to live the king lived in style. Isn't it like kings, to feed off there subjects, to leech off and get fat.

The people started to get angry after the beheading of a knight. This was no ordinary knight, but the knight that gave all to the people. A saint, by all means, and a man who stood up tho the king. That is what the people believed anyway. The truth is, he was no knight, but a theif, a scoundrel, a heathen. A man who would steal from the weak and give to himself, A man that laught at a holy man for helping a bleading soul. This was a Man that wasn't a knight, but gained the name because of a misunderstanding.

Years before, the theif was running from the Dog's of the king, and the whips of the Serf. As he ran with his sword at the level, readly to strike, he ran into the true knight. A man who did all of what the people said was good, but now his name forgotten. The knight, walking on the road never saw it coming. A blade, to the lung and to the heart, pierced through causing instance death.The theif stoped and looked and saw how he killed, his brother. There blood was pure, and there bond was right. Time it's self couldn't seperate these two. Now slain by his hand, stabbed in the back.

The theif stopped and fell, he fell as if he been shot in the heart. He wept and cursed the world, He blamed the things that he hated and curse the beliefs of the men. He knew there was no point to run, there was no point to plead, there was no point in living anymore. For he stole what was most presious to him, his brother. Then a thought came to his mind, a thought that pushed the blame on the king, on the serfs, on the holy men, and the bussness men. He'd fight the heavens and the void to remove the pain.

He launched his attack, killing in the name of revenge. Killing the holy man, the serf, the knight, and to the king. When he was close to the king, to slit his throat, he stopped. Why, none can say. Maybe it was to start an uprising that would follow, maybe it was because he was wounded, maybe to spit in the kings eye, whatever reason was he stopped and gave up.

On the day of death for the theif, he did steal his greatest fence, the hope of all the men, the title of a piouse man.

This is my short story....i hope this works.....

Here's my story:-

Title is:

A story from the land of wolves.

Long time ago there was a prince in the land of wolves his name was James. He was very cruel to the entire wolf living in the world but nice to every human being. The land was called the land of wolves because there where more than 90% of wolf’s in the forest of that land and all the wolves lived in harmony and friendly with the humans of that land.

One day James‘s father (The King) and mother (The Queen) went to camp in the forest with their son for having some fun and at that time James was only 3 years old. There was also news that the number of wolves is decreasing day by day so they also went to have a check on it. They thought of staying there for 5 days. On the 4th night James heard a beautiful and sweet voice in his dream which was warning him from something. After sometime in the same night there was a sound of scream. Everyone woke up and saw James sleeping and but didn’t saw the queen with him. They started to look for the queen. They found her dead in the middle of the forest with one wolf dead aside. Everyone thought that Queen had killed the wolf while protecting herself. Queen’s face was fully snatched by the wolf’s claws.

James was bought up by saying that his mother was killed by the wolves. His father also died when he was 16 years old and he became the king, at that time he thought that he won’t show any mercy on any wolf so he started to hunt every wolf in his kingdom. One day a beautiful girl came to his kingdom. All the boys were crazy about her because of her beauty. This news went to the ears of the James. So he decided to invite her for a bowl party to see her. When she came every girl in the bowl became jealous because of her beauty and elegance. Then James entered in the bowl room he was looking for that girl. One of his friends showed him by aiming at her,” that is the girl”, but he couldn’t see her face because she was turned other side. The prince walked towards her and said to her “Excuse me my lady can I have the pleasure of a dance with you?”, then she turns around and he saw her face. She was really beautiful and James was in love with her in the first sight and wanted to marry her right away. He took her to a lonely place to know first that she likes him or not after that to propose her in front of everyone, then suddenly she said “stop killing all the wolves”. By hearing that he lost his mind and didn’t thought of anything and in a flash chopped her head off with his sword. Then a sudden flashback started. He saw that, he was in the forest while he was 3 years old with his parents. Suddenly he hears a wolf’s voice crying out for help. He saw his mother waking up and going towards it. Then the King appear before her in the middle of the forest and says to go back to the camp but she refuses, then she saw blood dropping from the hands of the king. At first she couldn’t understood it but after seeing a wolf half dead beside him she understood that he was killing all the wolves and asks him that “why were you killing all the wolves?”. He replies that “I enjoy killing these animals.” By hearing that she said that “I’m going to tell everybody that the King himself is killing the wolves and let the peoples of the land of wolves decide your faith”, at that time he pulled her back and snatched her face wearing a duplicate paws of a wolf so as to look that it was done by a wolf. Then James return to the world where he was standing with his sword covered with blood of the girl. At that time he didn’t felt anything as if he was half dead, he was sorry for what he had done all these years and to the girls which he felt in love in the first site. He wanted to kill himself but, the spirit of the girl appeared (in actual she was the witch who’s voice he had heard when he was 3 years old) and cursed him that he will stay as wolf for his entire life until he finds his true love. Till now also there is his howl in air seeking for his true love to get him out of his curse......
