Author's Note: I am so extremely sorry about not updating for 5 months. I
have been busy with high school. Anyway, I found the first chapter so they
should be straightened out. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone that
first reviewed and gave me some advice. I thank you muchos. Okay, now
here's the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kel slipped into the King's study and stood with her back towards the door. She was quite confused as to why the King would want to see her in the middle of her class no less.
"Take a seat, Keladry of Mindelan," King Jonathan said as a servant pulled out a chair that is on the side closest to Kel.
Kel walked slowly, bowed first toward the King and then took a seat in the chair designated for her.
Kel took the minute for her to walk and sit down to look around at her surroundings. She saw maps hanging on the walls and piled on a desk to the right side of the room. The remaining spaces on the walls were covered with bookshelves that were overflowing with books of every kind. Many of the books were old and torn and looked as if they had been in the same room for hundreds of years.
"Keladry of Mindelan, I would like you to meet a friend of mine," King Jonathan said pulling her attention back to him. His eyes were a brilliant blue that looked as if they didn't get the rest they deserved. His hair looked as if it was quickly combed and had the beginnings of gray hair near the hairline. His beard was the same black with a slight blue tint as his hair on his head, and a bit mused. His clothes were made of the finest silks and looked as if they were slept in.
After King Jonathan had said his statement, a short fiery haired woman in armor appeared as if from nowhere. She stood behind the King and looked stubbornly at him. The King acted as though he knew nothing of the woman's glare. Kel was stunned immediately, especially after she saw the violet eyes that belonged to the woman.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What is taking Kel so long?" Neal whispered to Cleon while taking notes about a battle from years ago.
"I don't know maybe the King wanted to congratulate her for something," Cleon said positively.
"I suppose the King wanted to be the first to tell her that she isn't fit to be here," Joren put in overhearing the boys' conversation.
"What would make you say that Keladry would not belong here?" Roald said turning around.
"I'm just saying that the King has probably come to his senses in seeing that letting Mindelan stay here for as long as she has. She is behind in all her classes already and it's only the third day. He must have wanted to tell her in person that she isn't cut out to be a knight." Joren looked smug and continued to take notes.
"You were late in every homework assignment that you ever did. He never kicked you out. Why should she be any different? She is given the same chance that the rest of us has." Neal said angrily when the whole class was silent. Neal looked up and saw the monk that was teaching the class staring at him.
The monk just pointed to the door and Neal knew exactly what he had to do. To his surprise though, Joren was sent as well. They both walked down to Wyldon's office in silence.

Author's Note: I know I know, it's super short. I'm sorry. I have too much going on. I will try to get another chapter up asap tho. I'm overwhelmed with work for my AP classes. So, if you will be patient, I'll try to get finished with this story on spare time. I'm sort of stuck on what to write next. I need to look and read the book again. I'm starting to turn from it and I need to know where to go. So if you want to email me or something with some ideas, that would help so much. Thank you for reading.
