Ok. If you're cupid and you only work one day a
year, your not likely to get much done, not to mention all the divorces that
might happen. It's not a pretty
picture. That's why I don't understand
why people think I only work on Valentine's Day. That's my day off—to party.
This is when you guys salute me!
You would be surprised how many times a day I have saved the world by
making couples that have important children.
So, this is a story about one of my everyday occurrences. And Now, since you're probably sick of me
talking, I'll let you get on with the story about this happy, rather, unhappy
couple.
Chapter 1: The beginning
Keledry of
Mindelan was practicing her jousting in the riding courts. She had just hit her quintain in her third
run when she heard some commotion behind her.
She rode back to Neal and the others who were all gathered by the
fence.
"Neal,
what's going on?"
"There's
some new kid. The Stump is bringing
him. He just came from the Yamani
Islands."
"Really?"
Kel was intrigued.
Lord Wyldon
walked up with a boy about a year older than Kel. He had blond hair an dark blue eyes that were almost black.
As Kel was
watching the new boy, and feeling the presence of Neal beside her, she felt a
sharp poke in her back. She turned
around, expecting one of Joren's cronies to have poked her with their
swords. Instead, she was surprised to
see no one behind her. She shrugged and
turned back towards the boy as Lord Wyldon was introducing him.
"This is
Joseph of Shining Waters." Joren
laughed from the other side of the group at the boy's name. Joseph blushed. "Everyone back to practice!
Squire Keledry, may I speak with you?"
Kel walked up to Lord Wyldon. "I
would appreciate it if you would sponsor Squire Joseph. I figure that since you are both familiar
with the Yamani Islands that you might be more helpful than others."
Kel bowed.
For some reason her excitement was mounting.
Could she be falling for Joseph?
She glanced back over her shoulder to look at Neal. She still got butterflies in her stomach when
she looked at him. What was going on
here
Sorry if
you don't think that I'm making much progress.
It'll get better. I guarantee
it!
