Arabella's Journey ­ a Protector of the small story

She had come a long way from Fief Moraine, her long ago home. Arabella had been her now 7 months and still she did not feel at home. She supposed nothing would ever feel like home again.

Renaldo had asked Arabella, that horrible day not so long ago, to go down to the market. "Get us a leg of lamb for supper Ara." he had said. "Yes father" she had replied meek as usual, her dark blue eyes cast downward. Neither knew that it was the last time they would see each other alive.

Ara walked through the halls to her page-master Jorens room. He was usually kind to her although aloof. To most he was cold hearted. Especially to Lady Kelady the only female squire in training. "Master Joren? I am back from the tanners with your harness." He sat in a chair by the window scowling. "Where were you?" He asked icily. "I was at the tanners my lord. Getting your harness taken out." she said softly. "You know i want a hot bath when I get off the practice courts!" he said angrily. "I'm sorry my lord I'll get your bath ready now." She hung a pot of water of the fire. "Your bath will be ready soon my lord" "It had better be." He then picked up his history text.

"Your bath is ready Master Joren." She poured the hot water into the tub. "Thank you Ara. Now I'd like you to let out some of the hems in these breeches." He held out a small pile to her. "Yes sir. I'll start right away." She went over to her sewing basket and got out a few spools of thread, scissors and a needle. "If you wish you can enlist Lalassa's help." he had a minuscule smile on his face. "Truly sir? Thank you. I'll go now if you don't mind sir?" his smile grew a little. "Of course I don't Ara." She hurried out the door her supplies in hand.
