Shadows of the Sun and Moon

by LilithsShadowHounds

Rhy was chosen by the Sun Lord, for what she didn't know. But the God she served wanted her in Valdemar for Midsummer's Eve. He had also chosen a Herald, one who was a child of Karse to bear witness. Of what, no one knows.

Disclaimer: The land of Valdemar belongs to Mercedes Lackey. I am only borrowing it and some of the characters that dwell there.

Chapter One:

Kaelas nudged Rhy. It was time they started moving again. Somewhere along the way to the capital city of Valdemar, a certain Herald chosen by the Sun Lord would meet them and escort them the rest of the way to Haven. Of course, Rhy didn't know that the Herald the Queen was sending to meet them was a child of Karse, let alone chosen by the Sun Lord himself to be the one to help the Ray of the Sun, AKA Rhyann, adjust to living in a foreign country. But then again, neither did the Queen who sent him.

Rhy pushed the Firecat away from her. "Kaelas, the sun isn't even up yet. Don't you think that it would be more appropriate to wait for the source of our beliefs to rise before we set out on another leg of our journey?"

:We don't have much time before we need to be in the capital. The Son said that we needed to be in Haven before Midsummer's eve.: Kaelas replied, a note of annoyance in his voice. :Now get out of that bed before I burn you out of it.:

Rhy grumbled under her breath but did as the Firecat ordered. She knew that not only would he do it, but that she would feel the burn too, even though there wouldn't be a mark left on her physical body.

"So, when is it that we'll be meeting up with this escort the Queen has sent to meet us?" Rhy was nervous about the whole situation.

:When we do.: It wasn't really an answer, but there wasn't anything that Rhy could do about it.
