Lady Knight 2: The Prophecy ends
"Come" beckoned a commanding voice. Kel hesitated. "Hurry up!" commanded the same voice, this time, more familiar. Still, Kel hesitated. "Will you take all day?" asked the voice.
"I know who you are. You're the Chamber of Ordeal." said Kel.
"Yes, it is me." said a voice behind her.
"Why are you calling me?" asked Kel spinning around to face the carved stone face of the chamber.
"Visit me and I'll tell you." With those last words, the stone face faded and Kel woke up to the chirping sound of hungry mouths. Kel sighed, the chamber had be showing her that dream for a week now and she was getting annoyed. She forced herself out of bed, dressed and cleaned her teeth before feeding the sparrows who were ferrying food to their hungry babies. Kel did her early morning graive practice before going to the mess hall for breakfast. As she spooned porridge into her mouth, she watched her fellow knights and acquaintances arrive . Beady eyed Nealan of Queenscove was last to drag himself to the mess hall for breakfast.
"Wake up, Neal." Kel said cheerfully as she clapped him on the back " We ride to Steadfast today. You'll get to see Yuki."
"Yuki." Neal replied, dreamily, thinking about his betrothed.
"Yes, Yuki." Kel said as she hoisted the still dreamy Neal out of his seat, "We leave now. Hurry up. Gret has saddled our horses. Merric, take charge of the camp while I'm gone please." Kel added. With those words, Kel walked out of the mess hall, dragging Neal behind her. Outside, Kel mounted Hoisi and led her small party of Jump, Neal and 5 sparrows out the gates of New Hope.
Kel and Neal arrived at Steadfast at night fall with no problems. The moment they emerged from the thick logs that formed a protected circle around the fort, a messenger of Lord Wydrom ushered them into the headquarters.
"Kel, Neal. How are you? Sit down and we'll talk." Lord Wydom said, gesturing to a pair of leather backed chairs. "News from our spies have not be good. Have you noticed the increasing immortal attacks?" Without waiting for an answer, Lord Wydom continued, " Diane's animal spies have reported that a man of King Maggar seams to have magic. The man, they claim, has magic similar to Diane only he has a darker kind. Numiar and Diane believe he truly does have wildmagic, only his magic leans towards immortals.
"Immortals?" said Neal
"Yes immortals." replied Lord Wydom impatiently, " We need to ask you cross enemy lines again, Kel, but first, ride to Cruops for more instructions. Nealan, go with her. You will rest here and ride tomorrow." he paused, "Good luck. Roger!"
"Yes, my lord?" the messenger poked his head in the room.
" Show Lady Knight Keldary and Sir Nealan to their rooms. You are dissmissed"
