" From now on I am Jane D'Ark!" declared Jane hapily to her friends as soon as she stepped out of the throne room. She was now a knight of the King's Own and she would go out in adventures and save damsels in distrees. Sir Ivon had said that she and Gunther would be joining a group of other knights to go to a kingdom far away. They were to leave tomorrow and Jane had until then to say her goodbyes. She was not sure when she would return but hoped it was before her friend's wedding. Jane smiled at Jester and hugged him. Pepper smiled at them and sweept Rake and Smithy away to give Jane and Jester some much nedded privacy.
"I am glad that you have fulfilled your dream, Jane. Will I be seeing you often at the tournaments this year?"He asked her as soon as they broke away.
"Yes, and will I be seeing you often at taverns, or are you too good for them?"
"If you are to be there, I will be there. And before you leave tomorrow, I want you to know this riddle:
"I tie and hold, capture and bind,
yet both knights and knaves doth crave me.
I faithfully enslave all within my grasp,
whether or not they seek me.
Yet those who have never felt my unmerciful hand,
are pitied by their fellow Man..."
"What is the answer?" asked Jane bewilderd.
"Ah. That I cannot tell you. you must find that out by yourself. When you return. I will see if the answer has you in its grasp. Let us hope it does not."

I know, this is also short. Jane has been knighted and will be leaving tomorrow, yet she will look for the answer on her adventures. Next Chapter will introduce new characters. Knights. Comment!
