Chapter 1:Reuions and friendships

Keladry of Mindelan muttered about dirt being a nuisance as she scrubbed her shield muttering dark words about mud and the knight that had unseated her from hoshi in the jousting tournament, she had her muddy armour resting on a chair in her tent which she would get to after she finished scrubbing her shield. Suddenly quicksilver flew into her tent going "cheep! CHEEP! CHEEP!" "what is it quicksilver?" asked kel reaching for her glaive quicksilver flew in a circle meaning friend , kel relaxed slightly and let go of her glaive "how many?" she asked holding up her hand quicksilver tapped her foot three times on Kel's hand "fifteen" she muttered "I suppose it's a group of knights and squires coming in for the tournaments" she muttered to the tent "anyone we know quicksilver?" she asked looking up at the sparrow "cheep! Cheep!" said quicksilver and nodded, kel got to her feet "where's jump" she asked allowed to the bird infested tent "JUMP!" she called but he dint come she frowned muttering "probably off for that collie again" she ran out from her tent to greet the knights followed by an over eager quicksilver who was pulling at her clothes as she walked attempting to get her to walk faster "who could possibly have quicksilver this excited?" she thought to herself "please stop it quicksilver" she asked and eventually the excited sparrow came to a rest on her shoulder cheeping loudly she quickened her pace "who could it possibly be?" she thought.

Kel stood by the gates as they where opened and horses came in at a trot with knights fully clad in armour and squires coming in behind them she recognised two of the horses and her heart gave a leap, the two horses she had recognised came together and were joined by a third who she dint recognise at all the three knights dismounted and pulled of their helmets kel let out a small gasp as she recognised the third person it wan Cleon of kennaham her old lover though they had never really got round to love making their relationship had ended abruptly when he had broken it off because he had to marry for the good of his parents home and to save them from debt. The other two knights were Nealan of Queenscove her best friend and a boy for whom she had harboured a secret crush in her years as a page and a squire and the third knight was Domitan of Masbolle the knight for whom she STILL harboured a secret crush even though she would never tell him so. She felt suddenly nervous what would it be like seeing cleon after all this time, she took a deep breath and began to walk towards the knights, neal turned around his green eyes sparkling in the sunlight he saw her and his face broke into a massive grin "KEL!" he yelled running towards her and before she knew it she was enveloped in a huge bear hug she laughed and said "ok meathead that's enough I cant really breath" she said as he let her go she had no time in which to draw breath because as soon as neal released her dom swooped her up into his big strong arms and squeezed her tight "good to see you to dom" she said "I missed you my protector" he said releasing her and grinning she frowned "don't call me that dom!" he grinned again his blue eyes twinkling "oh but that would take all the fun out of life" he said she punched him playfully then turned to cleon and before she knew it she was hugging him to they had been lovers but they had also been friends and until now she dint realise how much she had missed him, he returned the embrace but stiffened quickly and let her go blushing , she looked at her three large friends and smiled lets go back to my tent and catch up she offered, all three men nodded and followed her as she led them back to her tent. She went in and they all followed and they where instantly landed on by about twenty sparrows "sparrows to your non human perches if you please" she said obediently they flew to the other side of the room while the knights sat down on kels bed and kel herself took a chair "so how have you three been?" she asked looking at them all dom instantly made a dramatic pose and pulled a face of despair "I my dear kel am still loveless and alone in the world" he attempted a yearning stare but the effect was ruined by cleon hitting him with a pillow and neal pushing him off the bed they all roared with laughter all except for dom of course who got up and composed himself "well as it seems to be gone here I will go and seek comfort elsewhere ……..Possibly from the attractive flower girl" he said giving a roguish grin and wiggling his eyebrows at kel who's heart leaped at he smiled at her they all laughed again including dom this time and with that he left "well what have you to been up to?" neal turned slightly pink and opened his mouth "kel actually I wanted to ask you a favour" he said "go on then" she said "well you see yuki is with child an.." "Oh that's great neal! Congratulations!" she said cutting him off "anyway if the baby's to be a girl we were wondering if we could call her Keladry?" he finished kel sat shocked for a moment then said "YES! Of course I would be honoured!" Neal leaped up and grabbed kel hugging her delightedly "yuki and I were so scared you would say no!" said neal till hugging his best friend "why would I say no!" said kel laughing neal shrugged then ran from the tent yelling "iv got to write to yuki and tell her!" Kel turned to cleon still smiling at neals reaction and sat down next to her friend "so how's your wife?" she asked "she's with child again" he replied "WOW! That's gre…" "Kel are we ok?" cleon asked hurriedly as he cut across her "yes we are cleon" she replied "all I want is to be your friend" "agreed" said cleon and they embraced with no tension between them kel pulled away and smiled "lets go put our names on the lists we need to get you back into shape" cleon laughed and they left the tent laughing together and trading stories like they used to
