Musing with the Willow

T he three horsemen turned to face me, eyes widening as I sprinted forward. Feeling the recklessness of my decision as I got closer, I thought about grabbing my dagger, but abandoned the notion. Not only were they built like warriors, but in addition to the sheathed swords on their backs, each of them carried multiple daggers, some hidden, some overt. Perhaps there was a diplomatic way out of this—whatever this was.

I slowed my pace, eventually stopping in front of the man who’d wiped blood from his hands. It was subtle, but his companions moved in, as if taking defensive positions. They were clad differently, although the variance was almost indiscernible at first glance. The blond man’s armor was ornamented with fine detailing that looked like a coat of arms. I scrambled for its meaning, knowing I’d seen it before. Then, realization dawned, and I had to forcefully stop myself from bolting in the other direction. It wasn’t a coat of arms that adorned his breastplate; it was the king’s insignia.
