"Angelina, you look just like you did when I saw you in my vision. Do not
worry about Shand, all is taken care of and I will take care of you. You
must leave now, run to the inn, and take three groups. She will follow the
tracks, so go your different ways. Take Nina, Savanna, Katata, and Mutate.
Shand will meet you later. He doesn't know it just yet, but he will."
She winked at me, and left to untie the other Sisters. So that was
Marguerite. She was a beautiful woman, with her long hair and light blue
eye. The light shined off of her, and my eyes started to hurt from it. I
looked around me, and saw that there was nothing to take with me, so I
waited until Marguerite looked at me.
"They shall not follow you Angelina. They are to come with me, where the
Mother will guide us. You must gather an army for Light's war, and defeat
Dark. Go and may the Mother be with you."
She ran with the other Sisters, and I followed them with my eyes. The light
glowed, weaving in and out of trees, until it became dim. I collected
myself, and ran as fast as I could to the edge of the woods. I stopped and
saw light coming from the inn, and walked-run to it.
I burst though the door, and everyone looked up at me. Katata looked up,
and I stopped him. I looked around at everyone, and noticed that Shand
really wasn't with them
"Hurry and gather the horses. Only take what is needed, and then put
yourselves into three grounds. But Katata, Nina, Savanna and Mutate must be
in the same ground."
They all looked confused and no one moved. NOW I screamed, and they busied
themselves into packing. I ran to my room, and noticed that Shand took his
clothing, and some money, but I couldn't find his ring. A smile twitched at
my lips, for he must have kept it.
I packed my dresses, and some money, and put on my riding gear. When it was
all packed up, and flew down the stairs, and out to the stables. The horses
were saddled and stood waiting. What surprised me was to Astara was too.
When I was on Astara I pointed south and told on group to go that way, and
then I told the others to follow me. We traveled unto daybreak, were we
were met by Shepards in the fields. We rested the horses and eat a cold
meal. I went to the men, and asked them if they saw a man on a black horse
pass by late last night.
"Milady we see many people pass by, and they are hard to remember. But we
did see a young man on a black horse last night, galloping though our
fields, and that young man stopped to talk with us, and broke bread with
us. His face held anger and confusion, and he told us a story about a woman
who he loved."
I turned my head so they wouldn't see the tears that came to my eyes. Shand
why did you have to leave me? I need you now more than ever. I walked over
to Astara, and brushed her long and silky mane. She loved it, though as a
warhorse didn't show it that much. I checked her shoes and her legs, and
she was a perfect as ever.
