DESTINY'S WAY.

Summary: After her year on probation Lord Wyldon told her she couldn't come back, angry and disappointed Kel disappeared. Now, for years later she returns having become a different kind of warrior.

PROLOGUE.

She couldn't believe it, her hands shook as she packed her bags; she'd thought he would let her stay, thought she had proven herself.

Clenching her hands into tight fists Kel felt her face twist into a scowl, it's just because I'm a girl. She'd known Lord Wyldon was against her being there, but I thought I could change his mind, she still couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it was really over.

"It's not fair!" Slamming her fist into a wall she closed her eyes, "It's just not fair!' She'd one everything he'd asked her, she was just as good as the boys – better than some of them – and yet he'd still told her to go.

Anger burned inside her, what gave him the right; the law said that girls could be knights, how was it then fair to treat them so differently to everyone else?

In one moment all her dreams had been shattered, everything she had based her life on torn away.

In the morning she was supposed to leave with the other boys, scowling Kel shook her head; she was not going to make a spectacle of herself, taking a deep breath she lifted her bags and walked out of her room.

The next morning would find her gone, a note left for Neal and the rest of her friends; a simple goodbye, no explanation about where she'd gone or what she planned to do.
