The elven prince brought the horse to a stop near the banks of a shallow clear river. He hopped off the steed and helped Melissa off. "I think we can rest for a bit here," the prince spoke to the redhead, "I don't want to exhaust you."
Melissa sighed in relief and stretched her arms. She walked to the banks of the river, pulled down the hood of her cloak and soaked in the warm rays of the morning sunshine. The pair had ridden for hours all through the night and Melissa was exhausted, she needed a bath and a long nap.
"Are you hungry?" The man spoke as he took off his boots and folded up the legs of his pants, "I could catch us some fish if you like."
