Prologue –
I always wanted to be like him, my brother. What younger sibling wouldn't, right? Back then I couldn't help but be awestruck by him. How he talked, how he walked, how everything always fell in place for him. It was as if destiny dealt him a royal flush and all he had to do was sit and enjoy the ride. Wish I could've been dealt such a kind hand, but destiny had other plans for me.
Thinking back, I wish I could return there. It was so calm, gentle, and peaceful. If I sit in complete silence long enough I can still hear the clashes of our swords, the cool fall air as it swept across my sweat soaked brow, the lush green grass under my boots. I long to go back where my childhood memories began, when he was by my side and my heart didn't have the worries it does now.
However, those times are gone. If I could accept it I would, but something within me can't- no, refuses to let go. No matter how hard I push it back it keeps returning. His face, our village, everything. I see it just as clearly now as I did then… I-I can't be thinking about this, not anymore. I have to let go. I have a duty to perform now. I must protect her, even if it costs me my life; for I am no longer that boy back then with the long brown hair and light gray eyes. I'm no longer that gentle soul with the mischievous smile that looked up to his elder brother as if he were a super hero. That boy is gone, and what's left of him will soon fade away. For that boy has grown up now… that boy, has become, a knight.

Song used for writing this prologue: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQHl-… (Character Selection by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics OST)
A small prologue to my story knights which is a rewrite of my very first story I've ever written. I would love to show the original, but it's hand written.. /shot Oh yeah, I hand written it lol!
But going back and reading it, I can't help but laugh. My writing back than.. is so.. LOL! I don't think I could show anyone the original cause it's soo badly written. XD Ah, being a child again lol! Even the names I gave to my characters! /SHOT SHOT Corny.
Of course back than I was really into the whole knights in shinning armor, kings and queens, you know, all the medieval stuff. (and I still am), but when I wrote the original, I was like.. 12 years old? So of course it's a little mushy and corny.
However, as I'm rewriting it, I'm keeping as close to the original as possible, and not really changing much accept for the style of writing, which of course has changed since I was 12.
Also, just forewarning you, it's in first person. I know some don't like first person views in stories, but hey, it's how I wrote it than, so that's how I'm going to rewrite it. =3

Sounds like a great story! I used to try and hand write stories... but only if I'm not at home. And usually only the beginning few paragraphs lol. I can't write first person for some reason -.-
