Cara sat in the middle of the village she was only six years old and she couldn't find her mother.
The men were all fighting and she watched as her home burned down and they beat the others in the village
"Mommy" she shouted but no one answered. She held on tight to her doll that her mother had made for her.

Rafe came across the crying little girl and couldn't abandon her even though she was the enemies child.
He picked her up and carried her back to his horse then road with her to camp. If the warlord had any problems with this then he could just ignore it. Because Rafe was not going to let this little girl be killed.

Cara didn't know who this man was but she didn't want to be alone in the middle of the fighting. She held on tight to her doll. As the man carried her somewhere.

When Rafe got back to camp he tried to avoid the camp cook because he would scold him for bringing a child to a war camp.
Just his luck he was caught and the cook came up to him and said "What are you doing? The war lord is gunna KILL you!"
"I am tring to tell the war lord I have a dieing wish and that is that this child lives" he held out the little girl in his direction.
"I guess I should make something for the young'un to eat." said the cook.
"Thank you" said Rafe.
"She has the nicest eyes and how could I say no to something so small. Probaly dosen't even eat a plate full." the cook headed off in a diffrent direction.
Rafe carried the little girl into his large tent and put her down on the bear skin that was his bed. "So do you have a name little girl?" He asked. As he sat down next to her.

"Where's my mommy?" Cara asked as she held on tight to the doll her mother had made for her. It was very old and you could tell.
She was being a brave as she could so that he couldn't tell that she was scared.

"I don't know" said Rafe not really have thinking this through. He had no idea how he was going to tell her that her mother was mostlikely dead. "That's a nice doll you have there, Is she your favorit?"

"Keir please don't yell" said Rafe "Your scaring the poor girl"
The cook walked in with two baked patatoes. "Feeding time" he said then he looked up and saw Keir. "Meny pardons my warlord I didn't know I was intruding on anything."
"Take the child her name is Cara" said Rafe to the cook. "Eat with her."
"Yes Rafe" said the cook knowing that the worrior was in a higher positon then himself. He took the child by the hand. One of his legs had been injured during practic when he was a young child.

"You do realize that the others have been noticing that I favor you but yet the queen dose not?" Keir asked "I cannot help you avoid your punishment you will take the beating that a man in that village would have gotten." he turned around "I was going to ask for my war prize tonight and end the fighting but I see all you want is to make it continue. I hope you enjoy pain I am going to assemble a team to dissaplin you and it will be bad. I want to prove to the others that you don't have it any better then they do." He left Rafes tent

Rafe had accepted his fate he had stepped out of line this time. There had been times when he was caught letting the women and children prisoners go but this time actually taking one in and caring for it was intolerable. He knew he would have to face the queen.
A man in armor walked in "We were told to punish you" said the guy puzzled "It is you right?"
"Yes" said Rafe as he stood up and went out side. About ten men were waiting.
"We were told to whip you a hundred times" he said "The warlord also mentioned if we have any resentment toward you to give you an extra couple of lashes"
"Do as he says" Rafe followed the men to the tree where he would be tied up to make sure he couldn't avoid the whipping.
