Anything that comes from the Wheel of Time books is the property of Robert Jordan and anything that comes from my head is the property of me.

He watched the back of his little sister as she walked away and hoped that Phlex would protect her. Her safety lay heavy on his mind, as the older brother it was his duty to see her safe until she married and even past then sometimes. He supposed he'd just have to trust Phlex but made the silent promise that if he let any harm come to her he would kill him. It didn't occur to him how he'd know if any harm befell Kitara.

As the pair walked alongside the River Haevin, Phlex studied his companion out of the corner of his eye.

*She looks different* he thought to himself and he was right. The way Kitara carried herself was now with an air of confidence and in her eyes.was it relief?

The latter confused him. Could somebody be relieved to leave his or her home and family? He knew that he wasn't, he almost regretted it, and after all it wasn't such a bad life really.

Sneaking another look at her she seemed rapt in thought and he wondered what had earned that concentration.

*I've done it!* Kitara still couldn't believe that she had left, up until the last view of the village had been lost she had expected somebody to come running and drag her back home. She still cast occasion glances back the way they had come.

She looked at Phlex and nearly told him to leave her be, but it was nice to have someone to journey with.

She glanced back again. Nobody from home was following her.

*Where now?* was the question on her mind, she had promised herself not to think of it until she was sure that she would be here, leaving.

Casting a glance at Phlex she wondered if he knew what he had let himself into coming with her.
