It is the greatest wish of the boy's heart to become a Knight.
But when he offers his small Sword in service to the King, the King says something curious:
"A Knight does not always have to fight
A Knight does not always use his might.
A Knight must use his heart and his eyes,
For a Knight must also learn to be wise."
And so on all Hallows Eve, when the veil between worlds has grown thin, the boy embarks on a strange quest for the King. It will take him into the old forest, and require all of his courage and something more.
If he succeeds, he will become a Knight.
