Chapter Ten: Meetings and Rememberings

"Is that all you have to say?" Thayet teased.

"Sorry." Rehani muttered. She eyed the Queen out of the corner of her eye. She was beautiful, as beautiful as Rehani had imagined. But she hadn't imagined Queen Thayet. She thought she had because she always had a picture of her in her head.

"I was just teasing, youngling. It's good to see you back here." Thayet laughed. Her laugh was musical. Rehani was awed by it. Suddenly something leaped onto her shoulder. Rehani gasped. There was a skeleton, a living skeleton on her shoulder!

"Bonedancer, mind your manners." A man strode up, taking the skeleton off Rehani's shoulder. "I'm sorry about Bonedancer. When he was alive, manners didn't exist." The man smiled at her. "I'm Lindhall Reed. Do I know you?" Rehani shook her head.

"You might have when I was little. I'm Rehani Salmalin, Numair and Daine's daughter." Rehani answered uncertainly.

"Congratulations on finding her, Numair!" Lindhall turned and hugged Numair. They were obviously old friends. "How did the talks go?" he asked Numair. Then he added wistfully, "I wish I could have gone."

"Wonderfully. Princess Kalasin will be the Empress of Carthak. And we'll get help in the coming war." Numair replied.

"Wonderful." Lindhall nodded. "I apologize for Bonedancer, Rehani. I'll see you around." With another nod, Lindhall turned and walked away with Bonedancer on his shoulder.

Rehani sighed happily. It was good to be home.

THE END!!!!!

I think these last two chapters were really bad.I had major writer's block. Okay, it's done. Yay. I'm so glad I finished this very very very short chapter.
