"We have to move quickly," she told him. "I'll explain on the way." She gracefully mounted a bay stallion and looked down expectantly.
"Um... what? Where did that horse come from? Why are..." He looked around and realized that he didn't have much of a choice. He had no clue who he was, and this girl seemed like she knew him. So he sighed and got on the horse behind her. Horses weren't really his thing he quickly realized, he didn't like how the animal shifted its weight. "So, who are you?"
She looked over her shoulder at him as the horse began walking along the trail ahead. She gave a little laugh. "Cut it out." She pretended to study his face and stopped her horse suddenly. "I'm Demetra. I'm your best friend. You really hit your head hard, didn't you?"

Now he had a name, and it sounded vaguely familiar. "Well ok, Demetra. If you say so." He said, scratching his head. "Just at a curiosity, who am I? I don't remember anything." He patted the horse nervously as it stomped the ground for some unexplained reason.
She prodded the horse onwards and turned her attention back to the road. "Rez. Rez, Fox, stone." Her pauses were so quick they were almost nonexistent.
"That's an interesting name." He said. "It is it a fake one?" It sounded fake, what would he be using a fake name for? Probably a criminal or something. It was very unusual for a common criminal to wake up in the woods and find some girl with a horse. "Very strange..." He said aloud.
"We have been hiding from the king for the past couple of years," she told him. "Politics are complicated, but we basically have a tyrant ruling now. Anyway, we're kind of like Robin Hood."
She tugged gently with her legs and tilted her body forwork as the horse's gait sped up. The wam sunlight beat down on the two travellers. "We have to break the law every once and a while, but it's for the benefit of the people who deserve it."
"Sounds like a righteous living." He said... Rez said. "Still doesn't explain why I can't remember anything though." He nervously grabbed hold of Demetra's shoulders as the horse sped up. "So, uh, what next, Robin Hood?" There was this nagging thought at the back of his mind about something he had to find, something he had to protect. Something he had hidden. He was trying so hard to remember that his head hurt.
"You must have hurt yourself while I was gone," she told him. "I was just filling up our water when--shoot!"
Ahead of the riders and in the distance could be seen men on horseback, apparently the king's men. She swiftly turned the horse around at a sharp 90 degree angle.
"We'll take a shortcut," she declared, setting her steed to full gallop through the dense thicket.
