Neal knocked quietly on Numair's door, as if he was afraid to. Kel gave him an odd look. The door opened, and Kitten appeared. She trilled, and left the door open for them. Kel shot Neal a look,and walked inside.
" Good. You're here. Are you ready to go?" Someone from the shadows asked. Neal and Kel shot eachother nervous looks, and nodded. " Splended. Well, here. For your journey. " The being stepped into the light. It was Queen Thayet. She handed them each a large rucksack. " Goddess Bless" she murmured, and kissed them each ont the forehead. " Be careful." And with that, she was gone.
Kel stared after her, shifting the heavey sack Thayet had given her onto her shoulder. She noticed that Daine was grinning. " What?" Kel asked bewildered. Daine pointed to the sack. On the flap, there was some fine embroidery. Kel turned the sack to look at it.
The circular patch held a small heart on a silver field. The heart was on top of the sillhouette of a wild horse. A small Lioness was seemingly etched into the heart. Kel smiled to herself. There was also a sword. The hilt seemed to be made of Garnet... The blade of the purest silver. It lay out of it's sheath on a stone at the foot of a waterfall. She turned to look at Neals. Neals was an octagon. IT was edged in black, ailver, and green. In the middle was a heavy looking book with a phoenix emblazoned on the cover. Neal grinned at her. Their nerves had disappeared.
" Ready?" Numair asked, yet again. Neal turned, and gave Numair a searching look.
" In a moment. I forgot something." Numair gave him an odd look, but didn't question him.
" Fine. But hurry!"
Neal gave him what he hoped was a reassuring smile, and ran towards his room. * Ok. Where'd I put it?* He yelled at himself. He rushed around his room, looking for the small velvet box he had set.. WHERE HAD HE SET IT? He grinned in relief, spotting the box on his chest of drawers; half under a shirt. Tucking it in his pocket, he ran back to NUmair's room. He gave them a cryptic smile when he entered. " All right.." He wheezed." Now... We can go."
