Spirits Protect Me! (2)
The entire court was silent. Then every one began talking at once.
"What?"
"Impossible!"
"A sixth Knight? I don't believe it!"
"Cathbad, explain!"
"SILENCE!"
At the last comment, there was a complete void of noise. The king stood. "Well, child, you have created quite a disturbance-"
"I created a disturbance? If you soldiers hadn't accosted me while I was trying to run- while I was traveling, this wouldn't be happening!"
"OUR fault! If you hadn't been so rude, we wouldn't have captured you!" Dierdre spat out.
"ENOUGH!"
Kaeli spun her head around to glare at her, as Cathbad continued. "Do you have any special weapons, child?"
"First of all, I am sixteen years old, and no child! But yes, I have a weapon, if I may get it from my horse?" When she was given a curt nod, she left.
"Father, you don't actualy think she will return, do you?"
"Daughter, I must. though you may not like her, we must trust her, if she is a Knight."
"What if she isn't?"
" If you wish to test the runes, go ahead. You mayn't let your first impression of her cloud your need to accept her!" Cathbad cut in.
"We are doing fine without her, Cathbad!"
"Is Maeve defeated, Dierdre?" Cathbad reprimanded. Dierdre turned away.
Just then, Kaeli returned, preventing further conversation. She carried an intricately carved staff. Garret remembered how she had automaticly reched for it this morning.
"May I see it, chi- Kaeli?" Cathbad asked, correcting himself at her raised eyebrow. As he took it in his hands he gazed wonderingly at it's intricate carvings. "Would you do me a favor? Hold this Horizontaly in your hands, away from your body, and say spirits protect me?"
Kaeli obliged. "Spirits Protect Me!"
Thin, smoke-like wisps were emited from the ends of the pole. They writhed along the stone floor and entwined the Mystic Knights wrists in its magical dance. Flicking her wrist, the smoke stopped.
"What" she asked, "was that?" Kaeli was staring at the "old friend" like it would bite her.
"Your powers." Cathbad replied simply.
