Describe The Place You Grew Up... Challenge For Week #83

[loved_by_two]

The place I grew up was in the free forests of Briton. The trees were large and the rivers flowed wildly. It was a wild, beautiful place. Anything I ever wanted, the forest would provide. My father taught me to respect the creatures of the forest and to listen to them.

I learned how to hunt and track and ride in that forest. I learned many things by just listening to the forest around me. It was my sanctuary, my touchstone.

Then, the Romans kidnapped me and put me in their prison.

I don't know how long I was there for, but I do remember missing the feel of the forest around me. I missed the scent of the night wind and the voices of the creatures singing to me.

It cut deeply into me that I was locked away from the land that had raised me and had taught me so much.

When Arthur and Lancelot rescued me and I again felt the land and the forest reaching out to me, that's when I started to live again.
