The Dragoness' Return
Chapter One
Keladry's years of being a probationary page were coming to an end. She hoped that Lord Wyldon would overcome his hatred of female knights, and that he would let her stay so that she may be able to finish her knighthood. It has been five years since the last lady knight appeared. Sir Alanna had proved over and over that women were not weak. Kel had dreamed that someday she too will become a lady knight.
*~*~*
Lord Wyldon's office was painted brown and very dull in Kel's opinion. thought Kel in amusement; but this situation was not something to be jested about. She then prepared herself for the worst and then it came. "I'm sorry to inform you that you will have to leave the palace. You will not be able to survive the Knighthood much less the Ordeal." Kel's hazel eyes looked at him with a mixture of pure hated, anger, and confusion. She couldn't hold on her Yamani mask on but to no avail; she suddenly burst out "I'll show you Lord Wyldon that females aren't weak!! I'll make you sorry!" Kel suddenly turned and stomped out of the room leaving the bewildered Lord Wyldon behind her. No one had ever spoken to him with such contempt before.
*~*~*
Kel tossed and turned. She couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with those hated words that Lord Wyldon had spoken to her. Then a thought struck her But a part of her mind kept nagging her. that made Kel guilty. Sighing she climbed out of bed and lit a candle.
*~*~*
Lord Wyldon paced his chamber. His thoughts were all jumbled up. The biggest question that kept him full awake said part of his mind said a sensible part of his mind. Giving a frustrated groan Lord Wyldon resumed pacing.
*~*~*
Kel dipped her pen into the black ink and began writing:
Dear Neal (and everyone else), I'm really sorry that I have to leave you all so quickly. I hope you will forgive me when I come back. I'm going back to the Yamani Islands to train for Shang. Once I'm done with my training I'll be back I promise. I hope to see you all soon.
Wish me luck.
Kel
