"HOW DID YOU GET HERE???!!!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kel and Owen sat around the small fire in Rec's tent. Rec had left them an hour ago to "get some more fire wood", but Kel suspected that she had gone to the Town gathering, and didn't want to be rude by letting her guests know that she would rather go to a meeting then stay with them. The town Officials were planning to discuss what should be done now that the "Shyinue" was here, and the tarantula's (Kel later found out they were called Huiets). So Kel and Owen were catching up on the times.
"Want some tea?" asked Kel, grinning evilly. * yes Owen, have some tea, have some nasty, barf flavored, bitter tea. * Owen nodded cheerfully, so Kel got up to retrieve the teapot from Sha, who was trying in vain to sweeten the tea, by pouring so much sugar in it the tea was overflowing into his lap. Sha didn't seem to notice the hot liquid burning him. "Sha," Kel began, but Sha was looking into the pot intently, * Come on Sha, WAKE UP you idiot! * "Sha…. Sha…." Sha paid her no heed. * Fine you little worm, how bout this.* "Sha, your laps on fire." Sha jumped up.
"AHH!!!!! It hurts!!!!" he raced out the door, in the direction of the lake, leaving the pot behind. Kel bent over to grab it. "So Owen, what have I missed?"
"Well, Cleon and Neal were killed in a battle with the Wild Mage, Esmond and Merric got married, the lioness went crazy, Prince Roland married a gypsy woman and ran away, Peachblossem died from cholera, and Lord Wyldon went on a killing spree and murdered the King, Queen, and all the first years."
Kel spun around, the teapot, forgotten in her mind crashed to the ground. "What?" she shrieked. Owen laughed so hard he was close to tears. Then Kel laughed too, "Ok, what REALLY happened."
"To tell the truth, not much. Neal figured out you were gone about a week after you left, being the dense headed guy he is, and a few minutes after that he moved on to a new crush. Cleon became a knight, Prince Roland's new betrothed drowned on the boat to Tortell, and everyone moved on with their lives." Owen grinned hen, "And Timinoe is on shield probation for losing his brother, his squire and a boy placed under his care." Owen looked at Kel's maddening face. * Uh, oh *
"It took him a week to realize I was gone," she confirmed.
Owen laughed, "You can kill him, if you know how to get back to Tortell."
Kel's face relaxed, "Oh yeah. Speaking of traveling, how'd you get here?"
"I could ask you the same question. Well, Neal, Cleon, Jump and I were ordered to get more firewood for camp, our knight masters were traveling together, and Neal noticed a weird looking bow and arrow lying on the ground, covered in half dead leaves. I went to pick it up, Jump in my back sack, and BOOM!…" Owen through up his hands, "we were here, in the middle of a tarantula nest. So how did You get here?"
Kel ignored his question, "Jumps here? Where is he?"
Owen laughed, "he's in my back sack still. Here." Owen handed the wiggling sack to Kel, who practically tore it apart trying to undo the knot keeping it shut. "Hey! What did my back sack ever do to you to make you wanna kill it so much?!"
Kel rolled her eyes, then finally resorted to using her new sword to cut the strings. "Ha ha, very funny. Jump!!" The mangy dog leapt up and licked Kel's face. "your such a good dog!"
Owen grumbled under his breath, "She's giving the DOG a warmer welcome then she did me!" A little louder he said, "So how did you get here?"
Kel continued to scratch the dog behind his ears, but looked up, "well, Timinoe was off spending the rest of our money getting drunk, so Joren, Vinson and I were sent to catch dinner. After a while we still hadn't found anything, when one of the guys found a necklace. The necklace zapped us here."
"Is that the cursed necklace?" Owen pointed to the coin medallion, which Rec was kind enough to convert to a necklace for Kel to wear.
Kel laughed, "No, this is a coin that somehow became a medallion and it represents the 'Shyinue', who I'm supposed to be. Here, take a look." Kel untied the back and placed it in Owens waiting palm.
"Cool!" Owen shouted, "Another shape is forming!! It looks like…" Owen scrunched up his face, concentrating hard, then he laughed, "It's a monkey! Awesome!" He handed it back to Kel, who studied it for a moment. She said, "I'll have to ask Rec about when she gets back. Let's go to bed, I'm exhausted. Rec set a bed up for you in Joren and Vinson's hut."
Owen gulped, "your making me sleep in the same room as THEM?!"
Kel sighed, "Yes I am, now go away, I'm tired and you're loud." Owen left the hut, muttering curses all the way out.
********The next day, early morning********
"So Rec, what do you think about the monkey?"
Kel, Owen, Sha, Joren, Vinson and Rec were gathered around the breakfast table, and all eyes were on Rec. "Actually, it was predicted that you would have 5 guardians. I don't know who they are, or what animal they represent, but it seems the young boy here is one of them."
Owen jumped up, pretended to be galloping on a horse, and waved an imaginary sword through the air.
Kel glanced at Owen, then returned her gaze to Rec, feigning disappointment, "You mean I'm stuck with him for the rest of my life? Oh darn! I was hoping to be rid of him in a couple months." Owen glared at her, Joren and Vinson just laughed. "So anyway, why do I need guardians? Its not like anyone knows me well enough to want to KILL me."
Rec's eyes hardened, "They want to kill you not because of what you've done, but because of what you COULD do, and what you stand for."
Kel closed her eyes and breathed deeply, "So basically what your saying is some maniac wants to kill me because he doesn't like my attitude."
"Not just "some maniac" Kel," Rec warned, "His name is known as Titiar, but that won't help you, for he goes by whatever suits him best. He is the Darkness. The Destroyer of Peace, Love, Harmony, Hope and Dreams. He is the very essence of Evil, and the Creator Of Hate. Be careful of any and all strangers, and even of friends. There's no one you can trust. NO ONE."
"Wonderful, just wonderful. Great Mithros, what have I gotten myself into now?" Kel muttered, then she laughed, "Guess this means I'll be sleeping with my sword now."
"There's nothing humorous about this Kel. Your in great danger, even now as we speak they are watching you. They know everything about you. Your mind is open to them, and they know your secrets." Rec's voice was sad, yet hard as steel, "You must not forget your mission Kel."
"Mission? WHAT mission? You never told me about a mission!"
"I'm afraid your companions will have to leave you and start their own mission as well. They must go and find the sword of truth, the armor of the moon goddess, that's you Kel, and the shield of light. YOUR mission however, will not be so easy, for you must defeat Titiar, and I must say, you don't know the first thing about your powers so your helpless as is. While you guardians are away you will remain here, and be taught by our shaman, but he will only be able to teach you so much, his powers are not even comparable to yours. You will have to reach within yourself, to places that you never dreamed could exist, and learn your own strengths."
Owen leaned toward Kel and whispered sarcastically into her ear, "Now isn't she just so happy and cheerful today." Kel however, felt like crying. *Stone mask * she thought *You have no emotion, you have no fear, nothing can harm you, nothing can…. * "NO!" Kel shouted jumping up, "NO! I won't do it! I won't! I won't leave my friends, I won't fight, I won't! I CAN'T DO THIS!" Kel ran out of the hut, tears streaming down her face. * I can't just give up trying to get home to protect some world I know nothing about! This isn't my world! * "I JUST WANNA GO HOME!!" she wailed, and rammed straight into a young man, a traveler from another city.
"You ok?" he asked, "You dropped this." He reached down and picked up her medallion, the knot securing it had come undone. "It's an unusual pattern."
"I'm fine. Thank you for returning it and I'd appreciate it if you would move so I can pass." Kel scowled at him.
The strangers eyes swept over her, looking her up and down, and finally rested on her chest, where her already low cut shirt had drooped even lower. He grinned slightly. Kel decided she didn't like this man a lot, ok at all. She snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Hello, my face is up here." She snapped. "Would you move it already?!"
The stranger grinned again, smugly, like she had just complimented him, and finally raised his gaze to her angry face. "I don't believe you know me, my lady," he said, a southern accent to his voice.
Kel just glared at him, "nor do I wish to."
He kept smiling that arrogant smile, "My name is Bauxbart,"
Kel was getting really fed up with him, "good for you," she said sarcastically, and tried to move around him, but he caught her in his arms and spun her around to face him. * Wow * thought Kel * he really IS gorgeous * she mentally slapped herself * Stop it Kel, he's a perverted creep and you want nothing to do with him * but another voice In her head nagged at her, * but he's so CUTE * His jet black hair was cropped short but flowed loose around his face. He had dark, emerald colored eyes that gleamed at Kel, and he had a build unlike anyother. * Very cute * the other voice agreed, * VERY * then * ARGH!!!! WOULD YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!!! * Bauxbart kept grinning, "I take it you've never seen the likes of me before."
"And I hope I never do again, now if you'll please MOVE!" Kel was trying hard not to lose her temper. Part of her wanted to kiss him and the other wanted to knock the living daylights out of him.
He pretended to pout, "But I'm so cute."
"Don't flatter yourself," Kel spit out but inside…. *Mithros even his POUT is gorgeous! *
Just then Owen ran up to them, "Kel where have you BEEN?! After your meltdown we thought you would be miles away from here by now!!" Then he noticed Bauxbart. *Owen you IDIOT! You left her alone long enough for her to get a boyfriend! FUDGE! *
Kel noticed how Owen was looking at her, then Bauxbart, then back at her again, "Don't worry," she assured him, "I would be long gone if this arrogant PIG had let me pass!" Owen let out a deep breath, * She's insulting him, that's a good sign that they are NOT in love. *
Joren raced up to them, "Come on!" he shouted at them, "We're gonna be late for lunch! You can bring your boyfriend with you Kel, hurry up!"
"Lets go my sweet," laughed Bauxbart, offering his arm to Kel.
*I could kill them * thought Kel, * I could absolutely KILL them * then, ignoring Bauxbarts arm, she raced after Joren.
**********Back at the hut********
Lunch was roasted rabbit, and a root stew. Kel didn't like the stew, or the perverted glances Bauxbart kept throwing her way. No one spoke, they just watched Kel and the stranger. *Is it just me or is this lunch taking 10times longer than usual * thought Kel. Then Vinson sealed his fate by trying to make conversation, "So Kel," he said cheerfully, "Introduce us to your boyfriend!" This was all Kel could take.
She sipped her tea slowly, "He is not my boyfriend. He is nothing."
Kel gave Vinson a warning look, and he excused himself into his tent, muttering something about her being able to kill him in her sleep.
Bauxbart was staring amazed at Kel, *Mithros* he thought * The moon goddess knows how to fight, didn't see this one coming. I'm gonna have to think up a new plan. Quick * He noticed something strange happening to her medallion. "Hey," he spoke up, "Her necklace is changing!" Kel untied the necklace and, sure enough, a new animal was shown. It was a weasel, the symbol of slyness, cunning, and selfishness. Kel looked at Rec worriedly, "Does this mean…"
Rec nodded, "I believe you've found your forth guardian."
Kel turned to face Bauxbart, who looked genuinely confused, "AH!!!!"
