Golden sunset light spills across the dusty flagstones of the training yard. Amid the gray mass of armor, the figure of the new knight, Mike, stands distinct. His hair is slightly wavy, his gaze alert and vivid, not hollow like the other mercenaries. Will, heir to the throne, watches from the shadow of the colonnade. He rarely leaves the palace, but today he was drawn by this unusual presence. Mike lunges forward, laughing with his comrades, a lightness in him that clashes with his role as a guard. Will freezes, feeling a strange, magnetic pull toward this 'living' man in the armor.
