Chapter Ten: The Compass & Picnic Fun
Three weeks later, we find Taranee Cook, knight of Meridian, in the forge of Aketon the blacksmith after he sent word for her to come to him forge. She was dressed in a dark yellow robes with brown slippers.
"So this is it?", Taranee asked Aketon the blacksmith as he handed her a small wooden chest. "This is the compass?"
"Indeed it is, Lady Taranee.", the Galhot blacksmith said with a proud smile. "It took a while, in between other jobs, but I finally got it done."
"And you did it according to the blueprints I gave you?", Taranee asked as she opened the chest to see the compass in question.
"Every last bit.", Aketon said. "And believe me, it was quite a feet to get done."
"But you were able to pull it off.", Taranee said as she sat the chest down on a nearby table and hugged the middle-aged Galhot. "Thank you so much! No my fellow knights and I can complete our mission and find the other parts of Blue Destiny!", she said as she ended the hug.
"Glad to be of service.", Aketon said with a kind smile.
"And here is the payment for your services.", Taranee said as she gave Aketon a large bag of gold coins. "Plus interest."
"Thank you, Your Grace.", Aketon said with a bow.
"Please. There's no need to bow to me. For I should bow to you for your great services.", Taranee said as she bowed to Aketon. "Again I thank you, my good man.", she said as she picked up the chest and headed for the entrance to the forge. "Have a nice day!"
"Same to you, Lady Taranee.", Aketon said with a wave that Taranee returned with a kind smile.
Waiting for Taranee outside the forge was Angelo who was dressed in a pair of black pants, white shirt and brown boots and Will who was dressed in a blue madden's dress with brown boots. When Taranee came out of the forge they saw that she had a beaming smile on her face.
"I take it that the compass is complete.", Will said seeing the smile on her friend's face.
"It's right in this chest!", Taranee said as she opened it for Will and Angelo to see.
It looked like any normal compass except the needle was gold and it had a string so that it could be worn around the neck. Other than that, there wasn't anything special about it.
"So this compass will guide us to the nearest piece of Blue Destiny?", Angelo questioned.
"Yes.", Taranee said as she closed the chest. "And before you say anything, I had it made to look like a regular compass so no bandits would try and attack us for it when we're traveling."
"Makes sense.", Will said as they walked towards the carriage they came there in. "But what gives it the ability to find Blue Destiny pieces?"
"That's what I was wondering.", Angelo said as he let the girls in the carriage before he got inside.
"The thing I'm going to add to the needle later.", Taranee said. "You see, as we speak, I have a small piece of metal sitting with the piece of Blue Destiny that we have right now."
"Why do that?", Will asked as the driver of the carriage drove the carriage through the city and towards the palace.
"Simple.", Taranee said. "That little piece will go on the needle of the compass. which will point us to the nearest piece of Blue Destiny."
"But isn't there a chance that the compass will point to the piece we already have?", Angelo questioned.
"Already thought about that.", Taranee said. "I asked Prince Phobos to have the piece we have in a small safe made of lead. I discovered that the inner lining of Blue Destiny's sheath was made of lead. It was that same lining that made the sword hard for it's wielder's enemies hard to sense before it was removed from it's sheath."
"So a lead safe will keep it safe and keep it from interfering with the compass.", Will figured.
"Yeah.", Taranee said. "Which will make our quest a lot more easy."
"Works for me.", Angelo said. "I think we should celebrate the completion of your work, Taranee. What do you want to do?"
"Hmmmm...", Taranee said as she thought about what she wanted to do. "Well... how about the six of us go on a picnic this afternoon. It's still morning so we have plenty of time to get ready for it. Plus, we can go to that lake in the Great Forest where we had our last picnic."
"We haven't been there in a while.", Will said.
"Sure haven't.", Angelo said. "A picnic it is.", he said making Taranee smile as the three of them enjoyed the rest of the ride to the palace.
Back at Aketon's forge, the Galhot was working on a sword when a figure came in through the back entrance. It was none other than Aldern of the rebels.
"Hello, Father.", the fighter said as he removed his hood.
"Son!", Aketon said as he went up to his son and gave him a huig. "How have you been, my boy!?"
"I'm doing well, Father.", Aldern said. "Tell me, what were three of Phobos' knights doing here?"
"Lady Taranee wanted me to make a compass for her.", Aketon told his son. "She says that it will guide them to the other pieces of Blue Destiny. Which one they're going for I do not know."
"I must tell this to Mage!", Aldern said.
"I understand.", Aketon said. "But can you stay a while. It has been a while since I saw my son."
"Of course, Father.", Aldern said giving his father a smile that he returned as they went inside the living area of the forge Aketon had.
Later that day, after getting everything they needed for their picnic, Angelo, Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin were on their saberwolves riding through the Great Forest towards the spot they planned to have their picnic. Cornelia and Hay Lin had the blankets they would need to sit or lay on for the picnic while Angelo and Will had the picnic baskets full of food and nectar to drink. Angelo was dressed in a pair of black pants with brown boots, a white shirt, and a black hooded cloak with the hood down. As for the girls, they all were wearing white sandals with Chinese robes that Hay Lin made for them all. Along with Japanese umbrellas. Will's was light blue with pink flower patterns and a pink shash holding the robe closed. Her umbrella was light blue and pink. Irma's robe was blue with pink with white ocean wave and dolphin patterns on it with a white shash. Her umbrella was blue and white. Taranee's robe was red with a yellow flame pattern with a yellow shash. Her umbrella was red and yellow. Cornelia's robe was green with yellow flower pattern in it with a yellow shash. Her umbrella was green and yellow. And Hay Lin's robe was a silverish white with violet wind pattern with a violet shash. Her umbrella was white and violet. She, like Cornelia had their hair out allowing it to flow freely. Of course Will, Irma, Taranee, and Angelo had their hair in their normal styles, which suited them just fine.
As for the weapons they had, Angelo had his battle batons at his sides, while Will had her Zanbatou strapped to her saddle. The same was said for Irma and he maces, Taranee and her tonfas, Cornelia and her Bow and Arrows, and Hay Lin and her ring blades. Not to mention the Iai swords hidden in the girls' umbrellas. Basically put, they were ready for anyone that would try to rob them. Soon they were at the lake to have their picnic. After dismounting their saberwolves, they removed their items and saddles and let the mighty beast run around and have fun while the six of the had their picnic. After setting everything up, the six of them said their grace before having their picnic.
"Wow, Taranee!", This sweet bread is great!", Irma said as she finished eating the piece of sweet bread she had. "You've out done yourself!", she said as she drank some nectar.
"Thanks.", Taranee said proud of her cooking skills. "I added some cinnamon to this loaf."
"Well, it taste good!", Will said as she ate some of her sweet bread. "It's a great finish to the meal we just ate."
"Got that right!", Angelo said as he ate his piece.
"So... When will we be going for the next piece of Blue Destiny?", Cornelia asked. "I mean thanks to Fenna, we know about what the Ferala Kingdom will be doing with their piece."
"But we know it's a trap.", Hay Lin said as they began to put their things back in the basket.
"Doesn't mean we can't still go after it.", Will said.
"Very true.", Angelo said. "But I say that we try and go for a different piece first."
"Same here.", Taranee agreed. "So tomorrow I say we give the compass a go and see where it points us.", she said as they packed what needed to packed back in the picnic basket.
"Works for me.", Irma said before letting out a long yawn as she stretched out her arms. "But for now, I could use a nice long nap.", she said as she laid down on the blanket.
"Same here.", Will said as she let out a yawn as she stretched her arms. "And this is a great spot to take a nap.", she said as she laid on the blanket as well.
Soon the others let yawns of their own as they too laid down on the large blankets they had laying on the ground. Soon the six knights fell asleep in the peaceful calm of the forest. Now as this was going on, one Prince Dorean of the Florina Kingdom was walking into the Throne Room of his parents, King Olec & Queen Helina who had just had a meeting with their advisors.
"Father. Mother. Is it true that King Leonos & Queen Fera, of the Ferala Kingdom, are having their piece of Blue Destiny moved somewhere to lure out a certain six of Meridian's knights?"
"Indeed it is, my son.", King Olec said. "It is the plan of the rebel leader."
"Plan?", Dorean questioned. "What plan?"
"The rebel leader has six warriors who will defeat these six knights of Meridian and take them to their base where they will try to show them that Phobos is the enemy and have them fight him.", Queen Helina explained.
"I see.", Dorean said. "And no doubt that Lady Will is one of those knights.", he figured with a smirk.
"I know that look, Dorean.", Olec said to his son. "You plan on aiding the rebel warriors."
"Maybe.", Dorean said with a sly smile.
"Think twice about this son.", Helina said to her son.
"Your mother is right, Dorean.", Olec said. "If you aid the rebels and wind of it gets back to Meridian, it could start a war between our kingdoms."
"Very well.", Dorean said as he turned to leave the Throne Room. "As prince of the Florina Kingdom, I shall not do something that shall put our kingdom in danger.", he said as he exited the Throne Room.
"He's going to go aid the rebels.", Helina said to her husband.
"Indeed he is.", Olec said with a tiring sigh. "Let's just hope he doesn't do anything stupid."
As for Dorean, he was heading for his chambers with a smirk on his face.
"As prince of the Florina Kingdom, I shall not do something that shall put our kingdom in danger.", he said as he walked the halls of the palace. "But as a warrior, I have the right to finish my fight with Lady Will and defeat her. And defeat her I shall!", he said as he began to plan his journey to the Meridian Kingdom.
Back in the Meridian Kingdom, Orube and Miranda were in the capital city having lunch together at an outdoor restaurant. Miranda didn't want to come for she knew how most of the people saw her, but Orube said that sooner or later they would have to get use to her seeing as she would be their future queen someday. So the young Shape-shifter gave in and went with her friend. Yet she took her human form which was like her true form except with a different skin color. But she knew that deep down some people would give her a hard time.
"I am still not so sure about this.", Miranda said as she and Orube were at a table waiting for their food.
"Do not worry, my friend.", Orube said. "These people have to learn that you are a normal person like them. Except you're blessed with a special ability.", she said with a smile that Miranda returned just as the waitress came up to them with their food.
"Here is your meal.", the waitress said as she set the plates on the table. "Enjoy your meal."
"Thank you.", Miranda and Orube said before the waitress walked off.
As they were eating their meal, Miranda noticed the looks she was getting from the other people who were eating there. Some were giving her odd looks while others were giving her looks that told her she didn't belong.
"Ignore them.", Orube said. "If you let them get to you, then they win. Show them that you can take their looks and sneers."
"But I don't think I can.", Miranda said sadly.
"But you can.", Orube said. "And if you feel that you can't, think of how Phobos takes what the rebels say about him. He doesn't hide in fear of them. He stands tall and continues to rule this kingdom knowing that one day they will be stopped. You and the love you show him helps give him the courage and strength to move forward. So let his love for you give you the strength and courage to stand up to those that judge you and other Shape-shifters."
"Thank you, Orube.", Miranda said as some tears ran down her face. "You are right. If Phobos can take it, then so can I.", she said as she wiped her eyes.
"Good.", Orube said. "Now let's finish our lunch and go have some fun.", she said with a smile that Miranda returned as they continued to eat their food and ignoring the looks they were getting.
Later that day, back in the Great Forest, Angelo began to slowly wake up with a yawn as he stretched his arms and legs and sat up while rubbing his eyes.
"Man that was a nice nap.", he said. "I guess it's time to head back.", he said as he looked around the blanket only to see that the girls weren't there.
Actually, to his surprise, all he saw was their robes sandals and undergarments in the spots where they were sleeping.
"What the heck?", he questioned before he heard some laughing coming from the lake. "Of course.", he said as he looked towards the lake to see the girls in the lake having fun. "I should have known."
As the girls were basically having fun in the lake wearing some swimwear that Hay Lin and Cornelia had made for them from what they could remember during their younger years on Earth. Will was in a baby blue bikini, while Irma was in a pink swimsuit. Taranee was in a dark green swimsuit while Cornelia was in a red bikini, and Hay Lin was in a purple swimsuit. As he watched them play around together in the water, Angelo thought about how much all six of their lives have changed in the last fourteen years all because of the actions of the rebels. Actions that made them the warriors they are today. Warriors that will fight them down to the last rebels.
'We will stop their rebellion and find the pieces of Blue Destiny.', Angelo thought to himself. 'Only then will we truly be able to return home to our families.'
It was then that Will noticed Angelo was up and looking at them.
"Hey, Angelo! Come join us!", she said with a wave as the other girls turned and waved for him to join them.
"Sure!", Angelo said as he got up and went behind a tree and began to strip out of his clothes and changed into the blue swim trunks Hay Lin and Cornelia had made for him.
Once changed, Angelo join the girls who were more than happy to have Angelo in their with them as they swam towards him ready to have some more fun. Watching them from a distance were two familiar rebels who didn't want to get seen yet were able to spy on the six knights as they enjoyed themselves in the cool waters of the lake. They were Caleb and Aldern.
"Look at them.", Aldern said as he glared at the knights. "If only we had the others with us. Then we could take them!"
"Yeah.", Caleb said as he had his eyes on Cornelia. "If only.", he said with a smile.
"Oh well. I guess all we can do is keep our distance and see if we can find and weaknesses in them.", Aldern said.
"Uh-huh.", Caleb said barely paying attention to his friend as he watched Cornelia play in the water.
"Are you listening to me, Caleb?", Aldern asked his friend.
"Uh-huh.", Caleb said as he continued to watch Cornelia.
"Oh brother.", Aldern said while rolling his eyes. "You do know that she's and the other girls there are with the Angelo guy."
"Only because she hasn't met me yet.", Caleb said with a smirk as he watched Cornelia swim around in the water.
She then swam up to Angelo and wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist. They then shared a kiss that got Caleb steamed as she was about to reach for his sword before Aldern stopped him by grabbing his wrist.
"Are you insane!?", Aldern asked his friend. "You'll get us both caught by them! No isn't the time to fight them just because you see your crush kissing someone. Let's get out of here before you end up doing something that'll get us caught.", Aldern said as he turned to walk off.
"Enjoy her lips, while you can, Sir Angelo.", Caleb said as he turned to walk off. "For Lady Cornelia will be mine.", he said as he turned and left with Aldern.
Sometime later, the six knights got dressed and packed their things and were ready to return to the palace. Angelo said as he and his fellow knights put their right index fingers and thumbs to their lips and let out a loud whistle. A few minutes later, four saberwolves came running towards them. Once they came up to the knights, the six of them went up to mount them.
"Let's head home, Snow.", Angelo said to his white saberwolf.
"Let's ride, Fang!", Will said to her golden-yellow saberwolf.
"Let's go, Silver!", Hay Lin said to her silver saberwolf happy to be going home.
"Time to move out, Coco!", Irma said to her chocolate-brown saberwolf.
"It's time to go home, Ruby!", Taranee said to her red saberwolf.
"Let's ride Shadow!", Cornelia happily said to her black saberwolf.
With the speed of the saberwolves, the knights were at the capital city within thirty minutes. But instead of going through the city, the knights decided to go around the city and towards the palace. Well all but Cornelia.
"You guys go on ahead. I just remembered that there's something I want to get in the city.", she said as she had Shadow turn around and head towards the city.
"Okay.", Will said. "Have fun.", she said as she rode off with the others.
"Wait!", Hay Lin said. "Shouldn't one of us go with you?"
"I'll be okay.", Cornelia said as she continued on her way to the city.
"Okay.", Hay Lin said hoping Cornelia would be safe.
Once at the city entrance, Cornelia dismounted Shadow and left him in the stables the city had for horses and saberwolves. She then went to the marketplace to do some shopping. It didn't take her long to find what she wanted. Within fifteen minutes, she had just about all she wanted. Now she was at a jewelry stand trying to pick out which necklace to buy.
"Which one do I want to get?", she asked herself as she looked at the many necklaces that were there. "Let's see. This one matches my eyes while this one compliments my broad sword. But this one matches my eyes and can go well with a lot of my dresses!", she said as she spotted the necklace she wanted. "I'll take that one!", she said to the merchant while pointing to the necklace she wanted.
"A fine choice, My Lady.", the merchant said as he picked up the necklace and placed it in a fine wooden box. "That will be five gold pieces."
"Here you go.", Cornelia said she took five gold pieces out of her money pouch and gave them to the merchant. "Five gold pieces."
"And here is your necklace.", the merchant said as he gave Cornelia the box that held the necklace.
"Thank you.", Cornelia said as she took the book and left to leave the city.
Once at the stables, Cornelia began to put all the things she bought in one of the saddle bags she had. As she was doing this, a young man came into the stables and took out the horse that was in there. As he walked the horse out of the stall he passed by the one Cornelia was in with her saberwolf, Shadow, and saw what she was doing.
"Nice saberwolf you got there.", the man said to Cornelia. "I see you take very good care of it."
"Thank you.", Cornelia said as she turned to look at the man. "His name his Shadow. We've been through a lot of adventures together.", she said as she petted the side of Shadow.
"I must admit that you don't see many women riding a saberwolf.", the man said.
"Well, I'm not a normal woman.", Cornelia said proudly as she walked Shadow out of the stall he was in.
"That I can see.", the man said. "And your saberwolf looks powerful.", he said as he reached down to pet Shadow only for the saberwolf to growl at him.
"Sorry.", Cornelia said as she mounted Shadow. "But Shadow is a bit picky when it comes to people petting him."
"I see.", the man said. "Well, I'll be on my way.", he said before taking Cornelia's right hand and kissing the back of it. "Until we meet again, Lady Cornelia."
"Ummmm... Okay.", Cornelia said as she watched the man ride off. "Who was that guy?", she asked herself as she wiped her hand off. "Let's go, Shadow."
As Cornelia rode off for the palace with Shadow, the man she met was watching her from on his horse. As he was doing this, a green Galhot came up to him on a horse.
"Why am I not surprised that you would be here, Caleb?", the Galhot questioned.
"I had to meet her at least once, Aldern.", Caleb said. "Before the big battle."
"And was it worth it?", Aldern asked his friend.
"Indeed it was.", Caleb said before they both rode off for the rebel base.
"One of these days, Caleb, you are going to do something that is going to get you in major trouble.", Aldern said to himself. "And me and Drake won't be able to save your butt.", he said as they continued their way to the rebel base.
Later that evening, after eating a good meal with Phobos and the others, the six knights said their goodnights and went to get ready for bed after something of a long day. So here we have Angelo in his quarters looking out his window over the land that has been a part of the kingdom he's lived in for the last fourteen years. He was dressed in a pair of red sleeping pants and black slippers. A smile grew on his face as he began to think about going home after so long. But to do that, he and his fellow knights had to get the remaining pieces of Blue Destiny to not only return home but to show the people of Meridian that Phobos is a good leader and put an end to the rebellion.
"We have a lot of work to do before we even try to return home.", Angelo said to himself as he looked up at the sky. "Dear Lord, please give all of us the will and strength to get through all of this.", he prayed when a knock came at his door. "Come in!"
The door opened to have Hay Lin walk in dressed in a violet robe that went down to her ankles and a pair of yellow slippers with her hair let out to flow freely.
"What's up, Hay Lin?", Angelo asked as he stood near the window.
"Just came to hang with you for a bit.", Hay Lin said with a smile as she sat on the couch that Angelo had in his quarters.
"Fine by me.", Angelo said as he sat in one of the chairs he had there that was facing the couch.
"So do you think the compass Taranee had made will work tomorrow?", Hay Lin asked.
"I know it'll work.", Angelo said. "Taranee isn't one to make many mistakes. And with this compass, we're one more step closer to returning home."
"Home.", Hay Lin said with a small smile. "I want to believe that it'll happen, but we have such a long road ahead of us."
"I know.", Angelo said. "But I know we can do this. I just know it."
"I'll miss this place.", Hay Lin said. "But it's not like we can't come and visit."
"Of course.", Angelo said. "This world has been our home for the last fourteen years. No way we can forget Metamoor.", he said with a smile that Angelo returned.
"But you know, I'll miss the little relationship me and the girls have with you.", Hay Lin said with a grin. "Our little Friends With Benefits has kept us going for a good while."
"And kept me on my toes.", Angelo said. "But when we return to Earth, you along with Irma and Cornelia will be going back to your hometown while Taranee will be returning back to hers."
"Leaving you and Will together in your hometown.", Hay Lin said. "Which means that Will shall have you all to herself. Lucky girl."
"Perhaps.", Angelo said. "Maybe I'll decide to be alone for a while."
"Well, until that day comes, be prepared for me and the girls to get as much time with you as we can.", Hay Lin said. "For you know that if I figured out what would happen when we return home to Earth, then you know they have as well."
"Well this will be fun.", Angelo said will playfully rolling his eyes getting a giggle out of Hay Lin. "It's like you five are taking score or something."
"Well, to be honest, there are times that the five of us try to see who can spend the most time with you in a week.", Hay Lin replied with a sly grin.
"Oh brother.", Angelo said with a roll of his eyes. "Well, today, you all are pretty much even seeing as we all went on a picnic together."
"But, then again, Taranee and Will were with you earlier this morning to get the compass.", Hay Lin said.
"True.", Angelo said. "So I guess they both got more time with me. You're a close second seeing as we're together here right now."
"Well, how about I go for first place?", Hay Lin asked as she stood up and slipped out of her slippers while slowly undoing her robe letting it fall to the floor revealing her nude body before Angelo that look well in the moonlight that shined through the window.
"I'm not to surprised at this.", Angelo said as he stood up while Hay Lin walked up to him allowing her hips to sway a bit with each step she took.
Now Hay Lin may not have been as well endowed as the other girls, but she still had a very well toned figure that Angelo always noticed. And now was one of those times as he wrapped his right arm around Hay Lin's slim waist and pulled her closer to him. He then cupped the side of her right face with his left hand making Hay Lin smile at Angelo who smiled back before they shared a kiss. Angelo then scooped Hay Lin up in his arms slowly and walked over to his bed and laid her on it. He then took off his sleeping pants, underwear, and slippers and got in bed with Hay Lin. He then gently and slowly rubbed the side of hay Lin's leg sending shivers down her spine that she loved.
"You're beautiful, you know that?", he said making Hay Lin blush as she bit her lower lip as she looked away from Angelo.
.
Seeing this, Angelo gently touched the side of Hay Lin's face and turned it so she was looking him in the eyes before they shared another kiss as he cupped her left bosom and began to massage it gently getting moans of pleasure from the youngest of the knights as they were making out. After a while Angelo switched to the other bosom getting more moans of pleasure from Hay Lin. Soon their making out ended with some short sweet kisses. Angelo couldn't help but grin as the slight blush Hay Lin had in her cheeks. He then took his right hand and slowly and gently made his way down Hay Lin's body and stopped at her inner thighs and began to move his fingers up and down the area making Hay Lin shiver a bit with pleasure. He then moved his finger up to her area and felt that it was moist and ready for what he was about to do as he could feel her heart beating at a fast pace by the way her chest was moving up and down. Angelo then go into a position in which he was still on the bed but on his knees looking down at Hay lin lower area with her knees propped up as he pulled Hay Lin closer to him. Angelo then took a breath and began to pleasure Hay Lin's lower area with his tounge.
Hay Lin began to moan with pleasure at what Angelo was doing to her. But then, Hay Lin let out a sharp gasp and arched her back once Angelo hit that special spot. Hay Lin grabbed onto the sheets tightly as she was getting great pleasure from what Angelo was doing to her. She began to let out louder moans of pleasure followed by her crying out "Don't stop!" to Angelo who kept on going. But then Hay Lin began to feel something build up inside her.
"I... I... I feel something coming!", Hay Lin cried out in pleasure as her back arched even more.
Knowing what was coming, seeing as this wasn't the first time he had done this with one of the girls, Angelo pulled away just before Hay Lin reached her climax and... well... you know. Angelo then got to his feet and saw that sweat was dotting Hay Lin's face as she had a deep blush on her face as she was breathing heavy with her chest moving up and down rapidly. Angelo then got up and walked over to his dresser and took the pitcher of water and poured some water into the bowl that was there and took a wash rag and got it wet and wiped his face and got the rag wet again and rung it out before walking over to Hay Lin and gave it to her so she could wipe off her area from her climax. she then tossed the rag to the floor before grabbing Angelo's wrist and using what strength she had to pull him into bed with her. Once in his bed, Hay Lin scooted closer to Angelo, who held her nude form close to him making her smile as she enjoyed his embrace.
"You know, you look beautiful in the moonlight.", Angelo said to Hay Lin making her smile more.
"Sweet-talker.", Hay Lin said before they shared another kiss.
Hay Lin then rested her head on Angelo's shoulder as he wrapped a protective arm around her.
"Goodnight, Hay Lin.", Angelo said to her.
"Goodnight, Angelo.", Hay Lin said to him.
Slowly but surely, both of them went to sleep with hopes of returning home to their families when they found all the pieces of Blue Destiny. They, like their friends, knew it was going to take some time. But they also knew that they had what it took to get it done. And they would do what needed to be done to do it.
A/N: Well, the compass is complete and the knights are ready to put it to good use. And to celebrate the six knights went on a picnic while Orube and Miranda had lunch in the city where Miranda found the courage to stand up to those that didn't like her. Thanks to Orube's words. It's good to have friends. And boy did Caleb take a big risk in seeing Cornelia up close and personal. But it seems that Shadow didn't take to well to him. Wonder why? And Angelo and Hay Lin has an interesting talk followed by an interesting moment with each other. There nay be a few more moments for Angelo with the girls. Not to mention some moments for Cedric & Orube and Phobos & Miranda.
Please review.
