Chapter: 3 the quest begins

Disclaimer: I do not own the Deltora Quest series

Sever had just got out of the meeting room where the "discussion" was going on about who would go, the team was Sever, Lief, Jasmine (Sever protest against the last two) and a few guards who's names He really didn't care to remember. They wanted to take Barda with them, but he was away on another assignment.

"Do you really think it is a good idea to bring the king and queen along?" Sever asked one of the guards.

"His majesty wished it," Said the guard bluntly

"Right I forgot you guys follow them blindly," Said Sever under his breathe, as he walked away.

On his way back to his room he ran into Jasmine who was carrying Kree on her shoulder. Kree jumped off of her shoulder and landed on sever's head, squawking happily.

"He says that he recognizes your scent," she said eying him "Who are you exactly?"

"No one important," Sever said stroking Kree's feathers " I probably just caught some one else's scent form the palace"

Jasmine was about to say something when a guard came up to them

"We are ready to depart," he said standing perfectly still

"Come on Kree" She said, He fluttered back over to her, as she headed toward the front with Sever right behind her. 'This isn't over, I will find out who you are' she thought to herself looking behind her.

Sever brushed passed her, taking no notice.

"Looks like everyone is here" Lief said, eyeing everyone in turn. "Lets get going"

They headed out in silence, mostly because they were waiting for Sever to slip up. They through the front gate, they went through the busy streets of Dell passing by the clothes stores, the pottery stores, and all the food stalls.

"So where do we go from here?" Lief-asked Sever when they made it outside the city.

"We should take a short cut through the forests of silence" Sever said, his voice showing no hint of emotion.

"Lead the way" Said Lief

Sever walked ahead of everyone aware of the fact that they didn't trust him.

'I am sorry I have to deceive you' he thought to himself 'but there is something bigger going on here' He clutched the opal around his neck 'much bigger'

So there was one hint in this chapter. The next ones will have action in them I promise
