You pull on the reins and stop your horse in its tracks. "Get off. I have to face our pursuers.", you instruct the princess.
She looks into the eerie dark forest around you, silhouettes are dancing, watching from behind the trees. They are more than tricks of the mind, that is true, but you have gotten used to them and are more worried about the pursuers.
"Don't leave me alone here! I don't want to get off!", the girl shouts.
You explain: "It's more dangerous to stay on the horse than..."
From her expression you can tell she won't listen.

The girl climbs over so she sits behind you, as you turn your horse to face your foes. You hold your lance tight in one hand, your shield in the other. You are a Knight. This is your element. You are ready to face whatever comes your way now.
