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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAz497KYNv2J

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAmt77jHtrbb

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANATDuPybkUqH

“Hello!" He called but there was no answer. "Anybody there to help an old man like me?"537Please respect copyright.PENANAhD8yloGR5r

The light suddenly disappeared. Grandpa used his torch, but he couldn't see anything or anyone.537Please respect copyright.PENANAOFgL1USQWz

Grandpa groaned and tossed on the grass, feeling sad and hating himself for coming to the forest.537Please respect copyright.PENANAd9eTU2TxLc

The orange light appeared again. It wasn't as huge as it was before and this time, it was yellow and not orange.537Please respect copyright.PENANAAmWQjrKedR

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAW9AZd1HK02

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAWhrzPZ3m64

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAvjEqKWGCdu

The light disappeared, but he used the lantern he had which lighted the dark surrounding. Was it a dead or alive body, he wondered.537Please respect copyright.PENANA4uphu8524B
537Please respect copyright.PENANAI1lXeQ7H3R
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?537Please respect copyright.PENANABzs0LL1o92

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAXVKsQX6QKW

Grandpa stared at her for a while.537Please respect copyright.PENANAAB3NnEC2qy

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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAmYhOwArFxU

Within some hours, he found himself some meters away from the insignificant village.537Please respect copyright.PENANAAyc6JE8xai
