Grandpa walked deeper into the forest, touching and observing things around him. He decided to return home, only to realize that he had forgotten the path he took. Soon, it grew very dark. He used the small lantern he came with and tried his very best to identify the path but failed. It seemed he walked deeper into the forest. Grandpa lay on the soil, feeling tired and thirsty, so he gulped water from his bottle and decided to take a nap.593Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKuvd6to7

Some hours later, he perceived strange sounds. He opened his eyes but couldn't see a thing, so he drifted into a slumber. Moments later, he heard sounds of horses and carriages and slightly opened his weak eyes. He saw small light from far away. He kept mute, in fear for it could be soldiers or the noble-men.593Please respect copyright.PENANAeBRI37KPcB

There was silence after a while. Grandpa walked towards the path the horses might have walked through. That's when he observed the light. It was a small, orange light. It looked more of fire so he gathered courage and walked to it, hoping to meet somebody there.593Please respect copyright.PENANApw46RzKYzh

“Hello!" He called but there was no answer. "Anybody there to help an old man like me?"593Please respect copyright.PENANApw7X2sXO5O

The light suddenly disappeared. Grandpa used his torch, but he couldn't see anything or anyone.593Please respect copyright.PENANAoT6Ca3Bp7a

Grandpa groaned and tossed on the grass, feeling sad and hating himself for coming to the forest.593Please respect copyright.PENANAM9gn8Jrprp

The orange light appeared again. It wasn't as huge as it was before and this time, it was yellow and not orange.593Please respect copyright.PENANArNBSchE3IR

Grandpa instantly ran towards it as fast as he could which enabled him to see the light very closely. Soon, he was just a few feet from it. "Anybody there to help an old man like me?" He realized something lay on the ground and that the light came from it.593Please respect copyright.PENANAjf2gCV3pN8

He was scared to touch it, but after a possible while, the fear faded so he gently touched it and found it was a human body.593Please respect copyright.PENANAfbIb0yKeWS

He brought the lantern very close to the face. It was a young girl, about ten years old. Pale, white, wet red hair, even her robe was wet.593Please respect copyright.PENANAOWmhvY9BvN

The light disappeared, but he used the lantern he had which lighted the dark surrounding. Was it a dead or alive body, he wondered.593Please respect copyright.PENANAG0WIctd9yK
593Please respect copyright.PENANAUCj6Qz9LzV
He was curious to know how the mysterious girl found herself there. Could it be that she was thrown outside on purpose or was she lost and never found by her people?593Please respect copyright.PENANAL1fkPZByI4

The sun glowed lightly on the lofty trees. But it didn't touch grandpa nor the innocent girl's pathetic face as the tall trees provided shade for them.593Please respect copyright.PENANAffCCwC2IUl

Grandpa stared at her for a while.593Please respect copyright.PENANAru3RnqeqSc

She had red hair. Her eyes were closed so he couldn't see the color of her orbs. Her skin was as white as milk, she was a very lovely girl. Grandpa kevins couldn't leave her there, so he took her with him and started the journey back home. Lucky for him, he was able to recognize the path that led home.593Please respect copyright.PENANAOgPapLy0dQ

Within some hours, he found himself some meters away from the insignificant village.593Please respect copyright.PENANAxIVzCPR7Fi
