The Third Rises
A/N: I don't own anything, except what you don't recognize.
Keladry of Mindelan sat at the desk, in her guest room at Fort Mastiff. Tomorrow, she'd be making the ride back to Haven but something felt wrong. ' I know there's nothing wrong. My people are well trained, and damn good fighters. Merric will be fine without my.' She had felt so bad about leaving Tobe behind. She calmed herself down and read one of her favorite books that was in Yamani. There was a knock at the door. Kel went and answered it. There was a woman of 16 standing before her, black hair, fair skin and blazing blue eyes. This was Briana, a poor girl Neal found 2 years ago who lived on the streets. She was the only known omni-mage, a mage with several different Gifts. She was even said to have the Sight. She now served Neal as Tobe served Kel; only she slept next door to Kel, not Neal. Briana was even trained in fighting with staff, crossbow, and sword. Kel remembered hearing another knight saying once that the only person who could even possibly match her skills was Numair. "What can I do for you Briana?" "I would like to know if milady would be able to spare a candle. I need another to light my room." "Yes, I believe I have some in the other room-" "I know" Briana reached out a hand; palm up, as the two candles Kel had spoken of floated to her. "Thank you milady." "Thank you for showing me that. I've never even seen Numair do THAT." "Its called Telekinesis. Master Numair does not know it, nor does he wish to, for reasons unknown to me." The mage-girl left Kel's rooms with the candles and leaving Kel feeling odd. This common girl could be all that stands in the way of the destruction of Tortal. So why didn't the King value her more?
