Chapter 2: The Mages Will
A/N: I'm TP I don't own anything except stuff you don't recognize.
Kel Went to sleep and had one of her Blayce dreams. Yet when she awoke there was still the sound of horse hoofs. She could barely remember putting one her breeches and boots as she was ordered to go see Lord Wyldon. She saw Neal and the other first year knights in the hall. Neal was dragging a half-asleep Briana behind him. (a/n: Where did they meet Lord Wyldon?) They all found Lord Wyldon in his office, helping a boy hold a steaming cup. His face was dirty and scratched, his clothes muddy and tattered. It was fortunate Wyldon gripped the mug. Tobe let go of it and scrambled across the room with a cry of "Lady!" He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her nightshirt. Kel hugged her boy. Sobs shook his frame, though he refused to make any noise. Soothing him, she looked at Wyldon. That Tobe was here in such condition, told her what had happened. Wyldon stood. He took Company Eight and Company Six, scouts, battle mages, and clerks as Kel got as much information from Tobe as possible. Neal Put a green glowing hand on Tobe's back as he instantly fell into dreamless sleep. Wyldon, then said, "Change and arm up, Mindelan, Queenscove," he ordered tersely "Your riding mounts are being saddled." Neal was about ready to give Briana some orders when Wyldon continued " Queenscove take your mage with you. You'll need all the help you can get." The three nodded. When they got to the stables, Briana no longer wore a blue dress, but black breeches and tunic. She mounted her red and white horse, Cloud, and rode out to Neal and Kel. "Why wear black" he asked. She looked down. "Where I come from black is a mourning color." He looked puzzled "What's that supposed to mean?" "You'll see." Wyldon led their force, leaving Mastiff in the hands of one company, while two went with him. Kel was left to her thoughts during the ride. 'You'll see?' what does she mean? I swear if those stormwings did anything.' The scent of smoke and stormwings reached them as they emerged from the trees onto the flatlands where Haven's fields lay. 'Now we'll see what Briana meant' Kel thought just before she came around the bend, and saw what had become of her people.
