Disclaimer: I forgot to do this in Chapters Two and Three . . .so here
goes. Mercedes Lackey owns most everything . . .my original characters are
Rianne, Kellen, Healer Berwick, Queen Tamara, her Companion Galatea, and
Queen's Own Brea. Oh yes! Herald Remar, and Herald Mira. And Mira's
Companion, Sephira. I think that's about it.
Notes: I know all of my chapters have been REALLY short . . .so sorry . . .in the future, I'll try to make them longer. In my next chapter I need to get back to Rianne. Review this please! Any comments will help. Thanks! ~Guava
Chapter Four-Companion's Council
Galatea, Companion of the Queen, reared angrily, whinnying in disgust as she learned of what had passed during the Queen's council. All the Companions in Companion's Field stopped basking in the sun or grazing, and galloped over to Galatea's side. Nearly all the Companions were present, including the most honored and venerable of all-Rolan, Queen's Own Companion.
-Speak your mind,- Galatea, Rolan was heard in the minds of all the Companions.
-What is it Galatea? Do tell us!-
-Have your Heralds not told you then?- Galatea's rage was briefly interrupted by this surprise.
-We have heard nothing,- a young Companion said anxiously.
-It regards Sephira,- Galatea said, and her anger built up again. The normally calm Companion's hide twitched, as she fought to control her rage.
Rolan spoke up again. -She is not then dead yet?-
-No. But she is still within Karse. I told you, I believe, that Tamara was approaching the Heralds about a rescue mission. Well, (and here she snorted with fury) they have decided against the mission. Sephira will not be rescued.-
All hell broke out at this. Companions reared and stamped the ground angrily. They Mind shouted at each other, in shock and outrage.
-How could our Heralds do this?- they asked. -What has possessed their minds, that they will ignore a Companion who needs us? Yes, we love them, but now they have gone too far!-
After a great deal of this had gone on, Rolan, who had remained silent during these exchanges, spoke again.
-It is time to do something about this,- he said. -This will not be tolerated. I do not think the Heralds will listen to us, if we protest only to our Chosen. We must let all of the Heralds know that we will not support them in this. If need be, we will, with the help of Tamara, rescue Sephira on our own.-
A great cheer rose at these words. Galatea looked at Rolan with a look of pure gratitude and heartfelt devotion.
Privately she said to him, -Tamara thanks you.- Rolan nudged her, and winked one of his deep blue eyes.
-It's time we gave them something to talk about,- he said simply.
