The Knight is “not gaily dressed.” He is wearing a tunic smudged by his armor. He made himself the leader because no one knew where to go.He led them to their destination. He also made sure they were always moving so they would be on schedule and make sure they get there on time. He was always the first one.He made sure everyone was safe on the journey. With all his experience everyone was good with him. His story is leading the group to their destination. He says this journey reminds him of how he used to fight in the war. He wanted to make sure they fulfilled their duty to get to the Grand Canyon and see the sunrise and they did.
