Selena is happy after this for every moment she has known her friends. They help her when James confronts her later that week and together they beat him silly before hurrying away. Selena thanks her friends many times over and all they ask is for her to keep helping them with their work, which she does. Before they know it April rolls around and everyone passes. Clarc becomes a squire along with Hale. Everyone is sad when they find Knight masters but gladly see them off. When all the knights come Allana arrives as well. Selena doesn't know it but Allana speaks to Lord Wyldon about her strong gift, and her healing talent.

By the end of May they are preparing for their summer trip. James is called away to his home for the summer, and Selena finds out that this year they are going to her home.

"You recall my lessons on the Scanra war from earlier in the year" Sir Myles asks them all a couple of days before they are due to leave.

"Yes, Sir"

"Then you remember also how the border is still being cleaned up."

"Yes"

"Well lucky for you your job this summer is going to be helping keep the Manor safe from all the leftover fighters"

" We knew that" One of the Kids exclaim

"True, but did you know how bad it was"

"Just a guy here and there right"

"Nope, it's a lot worse, but you won't have it that bad"

"Bad is an understatement" Yuvonne says a couple of weeks later when they arrive at the Manor. The far fields are smoking from recent fires and the pages can see an ongoing battle in the distance.

"Hurry It up" Lord Wyldon calls from the front.

"All the same it's home to me" Selena says

"That's right Galador is your home right" Nathaniel says

"Yep" Selena says smiling. They head inside and Selena shows the way to the stable as Lord Wyldon and the Shangs head inside the main building up the stairs. When all of the pages have a stall Selena quickly cleans Feirce and tries to find Yuvonne and the others. As she gets closer to the door she sees a young girl about 13 dismounting a dappled gray horse. She is wearing robes like the mages only with many colors. She is traveling slowly down the stable looking at all the stalls for an empty one. A middle aged mage is behind her still mounted.

"Do you need a stall?" Selena asks the girl as she walks closer.

"Yes please" the girl replies tiredly. Selena leads her to an empty stall and watches as the girl struggles to unsaddle her horse.

"Would you like some help?" Selena asks the girl

"Why not" the girl replies as Selena moves into the stall. When they are all done the girl holds out her hand to Selena

"Thank you, my name is Haley" She says

"Your welcome, I'm Selena" They shake hands and Haley nods

"If you'll excuse me" The other mage says walking into the stall "Haley needs to rest now"

"Not really Blaine, you know I need to get used to using this much energy" Haley says

"You used a lot more energy than you think" Blaine says as he walks Haley out of the stall giving a polite nod to Selena. Selena watches them go smiling a little to herself. 'He seems so protective of her' she thinks as she heads to the door of the stable again.

"Selena" Tain calls as she passes "Do you know where the others are?" He asks finishing up what he is doing and walking out of the stall.

"No clue"

"You guys" Nathaniel yells as he hurries over with Yuvonne, and Edmond in tow.

"Found them" Selena mutters Tain laughs a little and they all head out of the stable. Selena leads the way inside and upstairs. Selena stops at her room and she changes, giving Yuvonne an outfit as the boys go to their rooms and change. They all meet outside Selena's room and head to her parents office. After Selena introduces them Selena talks to them for awhile as the boys explore with some of the other pages. Then she has supper with her parents and meets up with all the pages again. After they spend a little time together they all go to bed.

In the morning after Selena has had breakfast with her parents she runs into Blaine in the hall.

"Your the page we met last night" Blaine inquires

"Yes"

"Would you mind waking up Haley and getting her food, she needs to eat something before she helps with anything." Blaine asks Selena.

"Sure" Once Blaine walks off again Selena changes her direction and heads to the room a servant points out to her. As she approaches the room the door opens and Haley walks out.

"Morning Selena what are you doing here"

"Blaine sent me to bring you to breakfast"

"Oh thats cool" Haley says as they start walking down the hall.

"So why are you here?" Selena asks

"I could ask you the same"

"I have no clue, I was told that I was needed here, to help" Haley says

"Oh" Selena says "We're here for our annual summer trip, we go to a different place every year and this year we came here to help"

"I see" Haley says . They are silent for the rest of the walk to the mess hall and after Selena shows Haley where to get some food and where to sit Selena leaves. Selena heads to the stable and cleans Feirce slowly. About an hour later a servant tells Selena to go to the Conference room. When Selena walks in she sees Buri, Blaine, Yuvonne and Hayle.

"You called" Selena says bowing like the pages do.

"Take a seat" Buri says indicating a chair

"I have heard that you girls are exceptional at healing" Buri inquires once Selena is settled.

"Yes" The girls reply

"Do you think you could help regularly with the healing?"

"But where are the healers" Yuvonne asks

"They are all over, but a few of them will be here in a couple of days" Buri smiles "You won't be alone Yuvonne"

"Good" Yuvonne says with a little relieved smile.

"Is that all we will be doing?" Selena asks

"Don't worry you'll have your own action, you might have to go right to the field to help."

"Oh"

"Haley here" Haley waves at the girls trying to act happy "Will be teaching you some healing techniques"

A couple of minutes later the girls are in the hall, having been kicked out when some soldiers appeared.

"Would you like to start now?" Haley asks the girls

"Sure" Yuvonne replies. They head outside the walls and Haley asks Selena to lead them to the head healer of the town. After a hurried conversation with the healer Haley and the girls start to work on the soldiers already brought in. Haley shows the girls how to mend arrow wounds and they try it themselves. After they wander through the wounded soldier and the two girls tend to arrow wounds as Haley takes care of critical wounds. After a couple of hours Haley tells the girls to get some food and go to bed, making sure they promise to meet her in the morning. The girls do just this glad to be able to sleep after all the healing they were doing.

In the morning Selena meets Yuvonne for breakfast and while the other pages decide what they are doing (they could protect the outside wall or the inside wall) They head to the healers hut again. They immediately are put to the quick and easy work while Haley hurries around doing the harder wounds again. When Haley stops for a moment Yuvonne and Selena jump right in and heal the wound the rest of the way. Haley decides to have them take care of some of the worse wounds as well. By the end of this day they are exhausted again but many people are healed. This goes on for a couple of more days and then a healer arrives from the castle. Haley just disappears and Yuvonne and Selena learn to help the new healer ,Neal, who is really a knight but he has enough healing skills to help. Selena talks to Neal a lot and both her and Yuvonne stay with him healing until late. Of course they both want some action but they are needed. A week after Haley leaves Selena is talking to one of the soldiers who just arrived early that morning. He is babbling but Selena gets some info out of him.

"A Scanra mage… little Mage… she's going to be…" The man is silent as he struggles to talk

"Wait! What little mage? Do you mean a little girl" The man tries to talk again "Just nod" He nods

"When, tomorrow" He shakes his head "Today?" He nods again and Selena starts looking around frantically. "You" She says pointing at a young girl who was helping take care of the men "Can you take over here, just soothe him" She says hurrying off. She runs straight to the main house and into the room where Blaine and Buri are having a conference.

"Haley is out in the field, and she's in trouble" Selena says in one breath before Buri and Blaine can say anything.

"What do you mean?" Blaine asks standing

"A soldier said something about a Scanra mage and Haley then he said 'She's going to be' but he couldn't say anything more."

"Anything else" Buri asks as Selena takes a breath

"He said it's going to happen today"

"I better go, If it's like the soldier said Haley may need help"

"May?" Buri asks

"She's a lot stronger than she looks but she pushes herself too hard" Buri just nods and Blaine hurries from the room.

"You should get back to the healing tent, thank you" Buri says kindly to Selena. Selena bows and obediently goes back.

Late that evening Blaine rides into the tent with Haley.

"Is she okay?" Selena exclaims rushing over to help take Haley off Blaines horse.

"Yes, She's just sleeping and she only has minor injuries." Blaine says as he helps Selena steady Haley on her shoulder

"Good" Selena says as Blaine dismounts and then picks up Haley (so she is leaning her head on his chest).

"Can you show me a bed for her?" Blaine asks

"Sure" Selena quickly shows him a bed and after he lays Haley on it. When Selena has her all settled Blaine leaves and Selena gets back to helping Neal.
