Chap. 1: Dreams and Musings
A stork stood in front of her, Avery tall stork. He walked up to her on his long legs and made a strange noise as if greeting her. He then stuck his long beak into the grass as if searching for something. She took this time to take in her surroundings. She was seated on grass in what looked to be an old secluded garden. A garden that curiously looked as if it hadn't been used in at least a century. The stork squawked again and brought her out of her musings. She turned back to the stork and saw that it held a golden ring in its beak. She lifted her left hand and it slipped it onto her finger. She looked down at the ring and recognized her name on it but, as she tried to turn and read what else was written on it two people burst into the garden. She recognized them immediately as her 2 closest adult female friends, Alanna and Onua. She watched them as they chased the stork out of the garden. Then she turned back to where the stork had been and saw a small bundle of cloth. It quivered and she reached toward it. Her fingertips had just brushed the cloth when…. "Daine"
"Daine, sweet, wake up" She opened her eyes to see Kumar's dark ones staring at her. HE smiled at her her, "Good Morning" He laid a gentle kiss on her lips.
"Get dressed or we'll be late to our meeting with Jon." She swung her legs off to the side of the bed they shared and started to groggily rub the sleep from her eyes. She looked up just in time to have a pair of breeches and tunic land on her face.
At the sound of a muffled protest, Numair looked up from buttoning her breeches and saw her in her state. He smiled as she tried to untangle herself. When she was done she shot him a half-heartened That-is-so-not-funny look. She then went through her morning routine slightly quicker this morning. After she had finished he was just through pulling his long hair into a horsetail. She quickly grabbed the papers for the meeting off the desk and waited for him by the door. He reached the door and quickly opened it and let her out then he followed her out. They then proceeded down the hall. They walked in silence for half of the way to the kings presence chamber then Daine noticed a nearby, secluded, niche. She deftly pulled him in and said "No good morning?" She then proceeded to kiss him repeatedly.
A quarter of an hour later they walked into Jon's presence chamber. If he noticed their disheveled appearance he didn't say anything but instead started the meeting.
Later after the meeting
Daine and Numair were in the stable saddling their mounts when a man from Queen Thayet's menagerie came running down the slope chasing an escaping stork.
Daine mind called to the stork to return to the menagerie and the man then turned around looking utterly confused.
What was that dream about? She wondered.
Numair had finished saddling Darkmoon while Daine was preoccupied with the stork. She then finished saddling and mounted up, following Numair out of the stable.
They set off onto a game trail both staying quiet. Numair kept reaching into his pocket. He looked deep in thought about something. Daine thought it better to start a conversation with cloud.
Cloud?
Hmm?
I had a strange dream last night.
About what?
Well…She explained her dream to cloud.
It seems that…
"Daine?" interrupted Numair.
'Yes?" He looks worried. She decided, "What's wrong" His hand was clenched around and something in his pocket.
"Well that is." He started." I mean…err…that is..."
"What" she pressed.
" oh… Never mind" He looked forward again and she decided not to press on him.
What's wrong with storkman? Asked cloud
I have no idea but, he's worrying me.
