The Battle for May Dale part two Not a chance

Madness, that was all this was, Thyet was being a fool and not seeing the bigger picture. Did the Queen honestly believe they could survive a battle with near on a score of different immortals, one hundred immortals, it was impossible she sighs.

There was no choice though, already the candle mark was almost down to the bottom as the immortals wait surrounding the town. As they wait Daine fears on who or what they where waiting for and thanks the gods that they had gifted people with them for had it not been for the power of some of the gifted then she would have looked like a lier and most likely killed off immediately. It hadn't been missed that she had a lot of negative thing factors in her favour ,so far her prediction of the half mark was wrong and she was a traitor, that in many of there eyes was right to kill her and had it not been for the friends she had once made in the inner circle it probably would have been her end.

As the men from the army spit at her and whisper traitor she can not help but feel glad that she has not promised to help today. If she was lucky she could perhaps shoot down erm sorry miss her shot and impair the man from earlier who seemed to be her biggest opposition.

His name was James of Kendal, he was twenty five and stood at just over six foot. His brown hair was styled so it spiked and his hazel eyes where framed by large dark circles. His face was round and his lips stubborn. His second in command of the ''lets make the Wildmages life living hell while she stays here to possibly help'', was a short woman of twenty who in Diane opinion looked like a baboon with locks of fire red hair. Her piercing blue eyes looked out of place on the face almost as if they where too far apart. Her name was Victory of Glenstone a small fief left of Trebond and she did not hesitate to make her displeasure of the Wildmage being so close to the queen know.

'The traitor may attak at any moment, Majesty' she would squeal as she glares daggers in Daines direction.

She shakes her head to rid herself oth the thoughts as as a small bird lands on her and as Daine listens to the message the bird brings her face pales her hands shake and she now has a answer to Thyet's early question, there is absolutely no hope, men had arrived from all over surrounding the village, aiding the immortals in the to be attach two score and ten men against the score and ten that the Tortillians have. That was not including the score of immortals that where full of stomwings, spidrens, Centaurs, Hurok's and even flesh eating unicorns. In short they where doomed half the men here where not even fully trained she wants to yell.

So where did that leave her, she could try to escape maybe if she was a small animal they would pass her by, they can't be looking for her as it was a coincidence that she and the Tortallians where here on the same day, her eyes turn to the Tortallian circle and she knows she cant leave, she may have tried to kill Thyet but she would not leave the queen and her other old friends in danger especially not the mage that was leading the group towards her.

'What is it Daine' he inquires in slight panic and she question if she should tell them how hopeless the situation is. With one look at there eyes and a sigh she starts to explain what she was told. There faces pale and Thyet turns to the others and whispers so only the inner circle and Daine could here.

'I am so sorry, I should have let you escape while you still could, I am so sorry' a tear fills from her eyes as she takes a look at the army they have assembled.

Daine was seriously angry, how dare Thyet just give up, yes it was impossible odds, yes they where probably going to be all dead by morning. However Thyet was supposed to be the one that encourages her army to fight with impossible odds, to tell them that it would be ok because they had the gods on there side or something. Daine's feet move her towards the queen her eyes ablaze when suddenly she feels something pointy at her back, 'Don't move' a voice hisses as the inner circle turn.

'Kendal, what are you doing' Thyet bellows

'She was about to attack majesty, I am just apprehending someone who was trying to harm you' his eyes look at everyone else in the inn room as if looking for backup before he spoke again. 'I dare you to deny it' he hisses

'Why would I deny it James it's the truth, yes I was approaching the queen and yes I may have physically harmed her, I can't say I wouldn't. However Kendal, I was mealy going to knock sense into her, she has already given up, she who is meant to lead you, well I am NOT going to sit around and wait to die, I WILL fight and if I die I know I will die bravely'

The room is silent before Thyet orders James to let Daine go her eyes are filled with determination as she turns to the army, 'She is right' the queen hollers before continuing, 'if I am to die then I will die fighting for the things I love and I will take down as many of those scumbags as I can, for Tortall, for my Loved ones' she adds in a whisper.

The room fills with battle cries as Daine feels her arm being palled, she turns to see the lioness dragging her away and allows herself to follow. They stop just out of heating range of those inside the inn and the Lioness stares before she starts. 'Daine please just tell us why, I have… we have seen you today and even before you left but until we have something to tell the people we can not let you come home , especially as we don't know why' you did it Alanna begs her eyes are dark and wary and at this moment Daine notices just how many of the inner Circle look dead on there feat, but a betrayal from within that was surely going to hurt them most.

'Oh Alanna, can't you just get over it already, I tried and failed to kill Thyet, I AM traitorous no matter the so called reasons. If you think so much that there must be s reason for it all and you believe I am a friend then I have a request for you and the counsel, STOP SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THERE' she grumbles before storming back into the inn.

'I would but… we miss you Magelet and we don't abandon are friends, traitor or not you still hold a part of us with you and you with us' Alanna whispers as she follows the younger woman inside.

As Alanna enters the inn there is a loud bang from outside . 'To ARMS' Thyet yells as the impossible battle for there lives begin and for just a moment in time Daine is once again The Wildmage of Tortall and not the traitor.

Wow, thats a lot to be going on. has anyone noticed that i had not intende a Daine/ Tortall reunion until at least book two.... however one has happened anyway? I blame the fact that i am righting the story as it comes to me. now you shall not find out why daine tried to kill Thyet for some time. But don't worry there is still a lot going on and evern though this book may only have a few more chapters I can not wait for it to have a conclusion.

Also I am considering righting some outtakes on the other charicters pov on Daines Betrayal what do you think? please R&R
