WINGED FEET
CHAPTER 1
Disclaimer: If I owned anything from Valdemar, I would be making a book out of this. But I don't so since this disclaimer is here, nobody can get my hard-earned money.
Author's Note: This is unlike anything you have ever read. This is ….. well, read it and you'll find out what it is about.

I guess it all started with how we got to the Collegium. Evergreen was ten when she came to Haven. A Herald had told her parents that she had the Healing Gift. Since her parents owned a wealthy inn, they were able to send her to Haven. Evergreen has a sweet nature and a smile was always on her face. She had the Healing Gift, receptive Mindspeech—which meant she could her Mindmessages but not talk to someone—and she could speed up the growth of plants. Due to her green eyes and brown hair, Blues often picked her on until we scared them off.
Nathan was born near Lake Evendim. He had blue eyes and black hair. His face always had a frown on it. He was the direct opposite on Evergreen and nobody would guess that he spent more time in the library than with a sword in hand. His parents wanted him to get an education as an herb healer. All were surprised when he had all three Bardic talents.
Kevin was a noble and he knows the palace as good as the servants. He was a Blue for five years before he was Chosen. Kevin was Chosen on is way to a class. His Companion is called Briar, who is very kind. He talked his Chosen into making friends with me. But it could also be that he was infatuated with my Companion for many years.
My family owned a farm near the Iftel border. Tris had to convince me that she was a real Companion, my family would be alright without me, and I would fit in at the Collegium. My nervousness came from watching out for bandits who sometimes came to our farm to steal and destroy crops. At the Collegium, the patience I had developed at the farm came in handy when I had to keep Kevin from rushing into a situation where he would get caught.
All in all, we had a lot of fun. With Mira being eleven, Nathan being twelve, Kevin and me being thirteen years, we had access to an insight of people of different ages. It was good that all of us had Mindspeech so we could communicate. Mira's small gift of accelerating the growth of plants came in handy when we tried to decorate the palace, but that is another story. Nathan had the Bardic Gift and that was enough while Kevin had Fetching. Kevin and I used our Gifts—mine was Farsight—to start pranks we had already set up beforehand. I think the Gift we used most was Healing. Trying not to get caught earned us a few bruises we couldn't explain.
