Chapter 2

Inside they were cooking when Arrettez thought he heard something from outside.

All of a sudden a girl with a drawn bow kicked down the door. She had dark brown hair with streaks of lighter browns and blacks, she had green eyes and was very slim. "My mentor is going to kill me," she muttered, "Kicking down doors and barging into a Wanderer cabin by myself. He always said I was hot headed" Then she remembered where she was and raised the bow while about to yell something, but it was too late. Arrettez was at her throat with his saxe knife.

"No!" Vontade yelled, "Don't hurt her!" The girls eyes widened in surprise at his words. What's going on? She thought. "Maybe she's an innocent!" he said, Sylvia lost all hope on those words. He wouldn't believe that when-.

Arrettez looked exasperated "If she were an innocent she wouldn't have drawn the bow," he said, "She also wouldn't have a bronze oakleaf," he announced as he pulled a gleaming oakleaf out of her cloak with his saxe knife.

"Not possible," Vontade breathed, "It can't be."

"I don't know about you but I'm telling Falcão," Arrettez said, "But first . . . I want to ask her a question. What is your name"

"Uh . . . I'm . . . Prata" The girl answered, cursing the fact that she faltered. It sounded like she didn't know her own name.

"Are you sure?" Arrettez asked, raising a cautioning eyebrow, "Or do you not remember your name, Silver?"

The girl stood up straight with her chin up and said "My name is Prata not Silver," She said this in a surprisingly strong voice, trying to add some kind of gallic accent to make that name seem plausible. She surprised everybody, even herself, though this did not show.

"That's a beautiful name," Vontade said absent mindedly, Arrettez glared at him and Vontade blushed, "I mean, why were you given that name?" trying to fix it, but still making himself sound stupid.

"It doesn't matter," Arrettez said, "She's going to meet Falcão now.

. . .

"A girl Ranger? Are you sure Arrettez? I don't have time for any of your guesses right now," Falcão chimed while frowning. Arrettez glared at him.

"Of course I'm sure," he answered, "Especially since she escaped from me on the way here."

"She did?!" Falcão said in utter disbelief. "How?!"

"Yes, she did. I have no idea at all," Arrettez answered. "Now we must figure out who her mentor is and why she was so special that she was chosen."

. . .

"Sylvia, what in the world were you thinking?" Halt asked "You could have been killed!"

Sylvia was crying now. Not because Halt was mad at her or that he was scolding her, she was used to that. It was because Star, her horse, had been stolen by the Wanderers and she wanted her back. Now it seemed like it would never happen.

"Halt, Star meant everything to me! I won't let her go," Sylvia said hotly "I even know who stole it. Vontade and Arrettez." Halt cursed at that.

"Then we both want to destroy Arrettez. So why don't we go get him," Halt smiled drily as he said this. Then he walked out the door to get Abelard.

"Wait Halt! What about me?! I don't have a horse!" Sylvia screamed while running outside.

Halt sighed and said "You know what. Why don't you stay?"

"No," she said hotly, "Fine, wait, can I ride on Abelard with you?" Halt just gave a nod.
