Carlosa (updated)

Carlos had always dreamed of being a knight, and

although he had been granted conditional membership in

the Society of Greater Knighthood, he had not yet been

able to show the others that he was indeed worthy of

full membership.  There just hadn't beeb a lot of princesses

kidnapped recently.

One day on the news, Carlos heard that Princess Charlene

of Narvdada had been kidnapped by the mean witch Gracie.

This was his chance, at last, to show the Society that he

could face the witch and bring back the Princess.

He set off, and finally located the castle where Princess

Charlene was being held.  Under the dark of night, Carlos

climbed over the castle wall and eventually located her

down in the dungeon.  After overpowering the guards, Carlos

took the keys and freed the Princess.  As Carlos was helping

her over the castle wall, he was challenged by Witch Gracie.

A long and gruelling sword fight followed, and although

Carlos did emerge the victor, the witch had cursed him 

during the confrontation.  The damage was done. 

Yet Carlosa was still pleased the she had freed the Princess.

She could return to the Society of Greater Knighthood proud

of what she had done.  She wasn't sure if they allowed

female knights or not, but that really mattered not.  She and

Charlene had each other now, and will forever after.
