Alanna's Misadventure:
George threw himself onto his horse and kicked it into a gallop. When he reached the stables, Stephan was shocked to see the rogue himself ride up, but he was quick to act. He grabbed his over large cloak and threw it around George, consealing his identity.
"Thankyou Stefan." He murmured.
"'Tis nothing, 'majesty'." George grinned lightly.
"I have urgent business in the castle. Prepare Myles of Olau's horse. I have a feeling that he will want to be returning to the city with me."
"Very good sir."
George set off for the palace at a run. He slowed down to a fast walk when he entered the halls but made his way directly to Myles rooms. He banged on the door loudly.
"Myles, open the door!"
"Sir?" A voice squeaked behind him. George turned to see the man servant Timmon, standing there. "Sir Myles is in the dining hall."
"Damn! You must take me there. It is a matter of life and death, I promise you."
The boy nodded and ran ahead of George quickly. "Timmon, you have to go in, I cannot be seen in there."
"Yes Sir. What should I say?"
"Tell him, that squire Alan's city friend needs to speak to him immediately. Feel free to add anything to that."
"Yes sir." George watched the lad dissapear into the hall.
"Sir Myles." The lad leaned over to the knight and whispered in his ear," There is a man here who needs to speak to you immediately. He says that he is squire Alan's city friend. He also said to me that it was a matter of life and death."
The color drained from his face and Myles stood with a jerk. He excused himself from the table and walked hurriedly from the hall.
"Myles!"
"George? What's happened to he- him?"
"You know?"
"I guessed. Well out with it."
"This isn't the place, these walls have ears. What I can tell you is that he will not be returning to the palace any time soon."
"Will you take me to him?"
"I already ordered your horse saddled."
"Good. I'll go and make an excuse for him and meet you at the stables. I expect that you will tell me what has happened very soon George."
"Yes sir" George hurried off to the stables as Myles returned to the hall. He approached Duke Garath and reqested a minute of his time. He obliged and the two moved away from the tables and the socializing.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I need to let you know that I have sent your squire out on a mission."
"I presume that you are referring to Squire Alan?"
"Yes. I discovered that there was an ancient scroll that was being sold off at a junk yard in the city. I couldn't possibly let it be sold like another piece of worthless rubbish and I have sent him to collect it for me. He may not be back until the morning. I hope that you don't mind."
"Of course not. I know how important a good text is."
"I also will have to enter the city tonight, I have a few errands of my own to run. I will defiantly be back for my classes tomorrow morning."
"Very well. Good luck with your chores."
"Thank you sir." Myles said then turned on his heal, following George's path and set off for the stables.
