Ch. 2




"Keladry . . . Keladry?" Neal was shouting in her ear.


~*~*~


But Kel didn't stir. For the first time in 4 days she felt as healthy as she should. She soon discovered she was sleeping on a mattress made of a material with the same qualities as a cloud. She then came to her sences and sat up abbrubtly. She looked around and gasped in awe. Everything was shaded in a golden hint. It was the most bauetiful thing she had ever seen.
"Your up. Good I am glad to see you have already . . . oh goodness I'm sorry I starteld you!" the stranger added seeing the scared look that krept over her yamani face.
Kel looked the man up and down. He didn't look like someone to fear. He looked maybe 60 give or take. He had soft silver hair with a matching flowing beard. His eyes were a dreamy gray hazel, much like her own she thought. His flowing blue robe was a sign of superiority.

"Who are you . . . where am i ?"she asked thourghly puzzeled.
"I am Gainel the dream god. I brought you to the realms of the gods because we have alot to discuss."
"But why me ? I'm not special!"
"Kel, i brout you here to tell you that i am . . . your . . . and she slowly came around to her on bed in Tortall.

Neal saw Kels eyes flutter. "she's coming around, Dad." he said urgentally.

Kel sat up gingerly. her headache had lifted and she didn't have that pit in her stomach but her body was as stiff as a newly starched shirt.

"thank the gods your alright! You gave us a fright!" Neal told her, as she was wrapped up in a hug. She hugged back thankful she was home and not in some strange dream place.

She recapped what had happened and noticed her head wrapped tightly in guaze. She touched it carefully thinking she must have hit it when she fallen. She looked at Duke Baird and gave him a questioning look. All he did was nodd.

"Neal, send Lord wildon in then wait in the hall with the others." he said. She knew something was wrong right away, Duke Bairds voice was shaking. He was always sure of himself!

Neal went to do as he was bid. As soon as Wildon was in he and Duke Baird went to a seprate room where they talked about something she couldn't hear. while they were in there Kel sast there pondering about life in general. top things on her mind were the bandage, dream world and as much as she didn't want to think about him ... Hakuin. Why did he kiss her was it a friendly friend kiss or ... -

"Keladry." a gruff voice woke her out of her day dream / fantasy.

She looked up at the two men both were looking sad and uncomfortable.

"keladry im afraid we hve some bad news. when you passed out you hit your head on the desk. Its gash wasn't extremly deep but i checked out your head anyways." Duke baird started mumbling.

"What is it? What's wrong?" she asked thoroughly alamred.

"Well we found a tumor. it was pretty big and we don't know what to do."

Kel felt the color drain from her face. she looked down and felt the tears sting her eyes. No she thought. Im not going to- she felt more tears trickle down her cheeks.

Lord Wildon came over and sat on her bed arm around her shoulder.

" Kel this is extremly hard for me to say, you being my son's best friend but we estimate you only have two monthes too live. "

The silence was hanging in the air. And suddenly all the tears came at one not six years of Yamani training could stop them.

Lord Wildon sat there holding her and shushing her while Duke Baird got some handkershiefs for her.

After about a half hour crying she looked at Lord Wildon. She noticed how he was acting and she also noticed his eyes were a little bloodshot. She also noticed that two new people were in the room, Sir Raoul of Goldenlake and Numaire Salmalin. The knight got up and hugged Kel, his squire in a big bear hug. The tears came once again. Then at last she said something. "I want to stay and train my remaining time."

"Whatever you wish, Keladry. And i am truely sorry."

~*~*~

While kel was catching up on some sleep. The other squires, pages, knights, and teachers were gathered in the mess. Even the king and Queen themselves were thier.

"Attention! We have some terable news to inform you all. This afternoon Keladry of Mindelen was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She will be with us as long as the dark god will allow us."

Neals worrld came roaring in on him at once. Before he knew what he was doing he tore out of the mess with out being dismissed.
