the clearing is surrounded by old pine trees where knights used to practice swinging their swords. There are haystacks where they take wenches and pay them a sickle.

knight
I am a knight who has taken a solemn oath to protect the royals. My family is of noble blood and has always been charged with caring for the royalty of the kingdom. I take pride in being a knight and the honor it brings my bloodline.
You know mouse, many brave souls stood here. Squeak. I know, I have been around here for a while. It is my home. How long have you been here? For years. I was born here. I have found many hiding places in the old pine trees over there to hide from the people who wish to harm me. Did you ever see a man who resembles myself? I see a lot of people wearing armor. They frighten me. You seem nice though. I bet you saw my father here. It was right before he left for war. he loved this place. I like to play with the deer around here. I hope you don't plan on shooting any. They are my friends. I will not shoot any in this area. How many are there? Only a few are left. The other Knights scare them away with their sword fighting. I am sorry to hear that. I hope you found peace after them passing. Yes, it sure was hard to say goodbye to them all.
