It had been five years since anyone had ever seen Keldary of Mindelan's
face. They had seen her alright charging into battle with her legions of
men by her side, but ever since the day of her "wedding", she had worn a
black veil that no one could see through. She never took it off in public
and usually she never took it off in private either. Kel had grown into an
even more beautiful young women with an inherited musicial voice from her
mother, that had taken Kel years to inherit. Kel hadn' t spoken to her
family for five years, no less her forgotten friends. But in fact there was
one friend that Kel never forgot and that was Cleon of Kennan, she should
have seen it all before. He loved her, he always did and she stupidly went
to Neal who would break her heart. Ever since that day Kel lived in regret
and hatred. No one could make her smile , even under her veil. Peachblossom
was her only trusted friend, everyone else was just a passerby to Kel. Lord
Raoul tried talking to Kel about the wedding but Kel just shunned him. Kel
hardly even talked , unless giving or being given combat instructions. But
for the first time in those last five, lonely years, Kel would shead her
veil and come back.
Kel stood on the battlefield among rotting corpses and blood drenched grass. Kel smirked under her famous black veil. *Another victory.* Kel laughed evilly. No one could stop her. The hatred that filled her was unleashed upon her enemies. No one stood a chance against her, that's why she was nicknamed the Black Widow. That, and her famous move she performed during battle, she would slash down upon her opponent and twirl around and cut off the torso with her glaive. It was a merciless death that sickened the people who fought with her. Once when Kel had been injured she had fallen unconcious, someone tried to take her veil off, she unconiously grabbed their arm and punched them squarely in the face. Kel was called over to her commander's tent and opened the flap. "Kel, I know you would rather spend your time here fighting off the enemy, but I think you need a break to relax. I'm sending you to Corus, where you will spend two weeks. Please don't use your Black Widow on me, I just want you to rest up so we can have you back up here to do some more damage." Sir Lucas of Jester's Peak smirked. "Rest up commander, I want you back to kick some more Scanran ass!" Kel mutley nodded and strolled out of the tent. *Corus* Kel thought. *Great, just great.* Actaully now that Kel thought about it, the Summer ball was going to be on and she would be able to see Cleon. Suddenly, Kel was excited to go.
*~*~*~
The next day the commander was up to see Kel goodbye. "Don't get into any trouble Kel, and don't get yourself killed. We all need you back here." Kel smirked and waved a pitiful goodbye to Sir Lucas. Kel turned toward the dusty road that lead to a two day's travel to Corus. *I could make it in a day* thought Kel. Kel bent towards Peachblossom and asked him to gallop, and with that Kel headed towards an awaiting Corus. That night after a few tiring hours of galloping over hills and rocky turraine, Kel stopped by an inn on the way to Corus.The next day in the streets people starred at Kel. She could her afew bits of conversations. "Look it's the Black Widow!" , "It's a shame what happened to her isn't it, she was so lovely." , "Mamma, why does she wear a veil." . Kel starred straight ahead of her as she approached the castle. The guards at the gate nervously came forward to admit her. Kel entered the gates on a gallop, Kel was so preoccupied with her thoughts she didn't see the people by the palace looking and poinitng towards her. Kel neared the stables and pulled on the reins. Peachblossom reared and Kel slid down his back. This was a tradtion that Peachblossom and Kel had made. People stared in awe as the young women merely slid off the saddle, while the huge, muscled war horse just stood there on two legs. Kel clicked her tongue, and Peachblossom lowered himself to all fours. People had started to gather at the front steps to watch thig young knight.
