Today we feature a short story written by [OnlyHeroLeft].
Let me tell you a tale, young one. A tale of a young woman, a disgrace of a knight, honored for his vile nature, and a truly honorable man, disgraced for his virtue.
It started with the young woman, a lass by the name of Maria. The beautiful daughter of a simple farmer, she lived a largely carefree life. She would assist her family - mother, father, and brother - with tasks around their land as was needed, and only rarely came into contact with many outside of her house's walls. One day, her mother took ill, and her father - unable to leave the farm to either Maria or her brother's yet young hands alone - requested that Maria travel to the village and seek the doctor for medicine. The young woman of course agreed, and set toward the village as rapidly as she could. It was two hours walk, however, and no horse was available to spare. By mid-afternoon, she had reached the village and met with the doctor. He offered her the medicine she sought, and Maria was soon on her way back to her home. This, however, is only the prelude to the story that unfolds, told to you now solely that you would have background for why such a lovely young woman would travel alone.
That is, of course, just the beginning of the writing - to read the entire work, you can view it on
A Tale of Honor. We hope that you enjoy the reading as much as we did!
