Hide and Seek

Alexander urged midnight to travel faster as he threw a furtive glance behind. Some of the knights who were previously on foot were now climbing their horses and another batch was already running after him. 

Oh Lord no! Other knights had already appeared in front blocking his way out. He turned to the other direction but it was still the same, knights everywhere. He was surrounded! 

"Your Highness, or is it Majesty?" Griffin asked, alighting from his horse. He was surprised at how fast they caught up with Alexander. Seems the royal chase didn't turn as entertaining as he had thought. So sad this would end soon.

Alexander tried to find a way but midnight gave up, lifting his fore legs and before Alexander knew it, he was falling on the ground. 

"That hurts!" Griffin said, pretending to feel Alexander's pain. "Help him up," he said, gesturing two of his men towards Alexander. They nodded, alighting their horses before they held Alexander's both hands.
