Love often blooms in the most unlikely situations. Here we have Dacora, a young witch, and Sir William, the youngest knight of the realm. Sir William has been sent on quest by the villagers of Brickton to rid them of Dacora. The knight came to Brickton fully intending to haul the witch off to be judged by the courts in the King's city. He was expecting wrinkly, ugly old person. Instead, he encounters the beautiful and gentle Dacora. Dacora is nothing like William's and most people's notion of a witch. She practices only white magick and is sworn by her order to never use her powers for evil. Unfortunately for her, the villagers of Brickton do not see who she really is, but only their own biased notion of what a witch is. Although, Dacora has nothing to do with any random act of mayhem, accident, or illness, the villagers blame the event upon her. Despite the fact that she has used her talents primarily for healing people, she is believed to be the source of every ill that befalls someone. Things have gotten very tense between the townfolk and the witch. Sir William is fairly certain that Dacora would likely have been stoned or put to the torch, if he had not arrived to take charge of the situation. William is determined to be fair. He has spent time listening to the villager's accusations and as much time interviewing the fair Dacora to get her side of things. The more he learns, the more Sir William is convinced that the villagers are wrong-minded and that Dacora, while very much a witch, has done nothing that warrants her being hauled before the Courts. He is troubled, though, because he wonders how much that conclusion is affected by his deepening love for the young witch. Once, he accused her of ensorcelling his feelings. Dacora counters that he has done much the same to hers. "Can you give up being a witch to be my wife?" he asks. She replies, "Can you give up your knighthood to be my husband?" Neithers answers the other's question. Tomorrow, Sir William must give the villagers his decision, regarding Dacora. What in God's name, will he tell them? ________________________________ Been sitting on these for a long time. Not sure why. Anyway, hope you enjoy them.
