Chapter I:

The sun's rays crept into Keladry's room, beam on to her face making her groan and turn away. She sat up quickly as she heard a muffled peep near her ear.

"Oops! Sorry Speck!"

She got up and started to get ready. She was in the middle of her glaive exercises when she heard a knock on her door. She made her way grumbling about the odd times visitors come. She opened the door and saw Dom. Her mind cleared all thoughts when she his face but then she saw his saw his left arm was in a cast.

"Oh!!! Dom what in Mithros' name happened!?!?!"

"Geeze, Kel don't over react, I twisted it. I'll be fine. You're acting like my mother!!! Anyways I'm on leave from the Own cause of my arm"

Kel blushed slightly at him remark, and then she frowned sarcastically placing her hands on her hips and tilting her head to the side slightly, tapping her foot.

"Well, you know how I am when one of my babies is gone too long!"

Dom chuckled merrily, and tousled her hair.

"Well, mother. Can we go to the mess hall to get some food???" "Okay, I just have to put my glaive away. You just had to come during my exercise!" she says as she walks to her weapons rack and put her glaive down gently as if it were a baby.

"Only if you treated your friends like your glaive. We would greatly appreciate it! And we won't have as much bruises" he chuckled softly but just then she punched him in the arm making him yelp loudly because she hit his above cased arm.

"Oops so sorry! But if I treated you guys like my glaive you wouldn't any learn manners." She was going to rant on but her stomach started to growl. Dom chuckled as he put his arm around her shoulders and led her towards the mess hall.

As they entered they spotted Neal, Owen, and Merric waving to them. The rest of the breakfast went smoothly besides the occasional exchange of light punches from Kel.

They walked out listening to Dom's stories about misfortunate Knights who had east boarder patrol. When he finished Merric went to the stables, Owen had an errand to do for his knight master Wyldon, and Neal went to Yuki to ask her more questions about Yamani government. So Kel and Dom were left alone again. There was an odd feeling in the air and both of them felt it.

Dom thoughts~*~ I have to tell her before she gets called to duty. I don't want her to fall in love with someone or even worst if she gets killed I she'll won't know how I feel! I'll ask her to the Midwinter Feast. ~*~

"Ummm.Kel, do you have an escort to the Midwinter Feast? I don't and if you're free would you like to go with me?"

Kel looked at Dom as if he had a fever and thought 'He likes me?' and said, "Well, Dom. I happened to be free and I accept your invite."

Dom was ecstatic. "Okay thanks! I have some errands now so see you soon."

"Wait! Dom are you going to the masquerade?" "Yes"

"Me too, hope to see you there"

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye"

Dom walks off; leaving Kel by her self her went to her rooms and sat on her bed thinking.

~*~*~*~*~ In the Divine Realms~*~*~*~*~

A god was looking through a glass ball. He was lying on hundreds of silk pillows his hair was a golden blond and his blue eyes dreamy. He watched Kel, her movements and her talks. A goddess walked to him and sat near him and said, "Watching that Mortal again, Sagganshi? What do you want her for?"

"None of you business Roanite"

"Come on. Tell me." Roanite whined.

"NO! Now go away your pestering me"

"Fine!" The goddess walked away in a frown.

The god watched Kel. His eyes full of longing and sadness. "I must have her," he whispered, "I want her."
