A/N: Oh my gosh! I am sorry I haven't posted a new chapter for so long! I am a freak! I guess I am lazy, too. I'm sorry this chapter is so short! I just don't know what I want to say, so it's pretty much just a filler chapter.

There was a quiet knock on Kara's door. "Come in," Kara called, sitting up and wiping her eyes.

The door opened. "Milady?" It was Tobe.

For some reason Kara felt happier that Tobe was there. "Yes, Tobe?"

"Milady, I heard you crying, and I-"

"Oh, Tobe. Just call me Kara. Not milady."

"Yes, milady-I mean Kara."

Meanwhile, Lyna sat in her chambers, talking softly to herself-Or so it seemed. "I WILL bring the downfall of the lady knights. But I will be a lady knight, will I not? Incorrect. I will be a black knight. You just wait. Now, page, go get me my knight-master. And DON'T. TELL. A. SOUL."

A page walked out of the shadows and nodded feebly. "Yes, milady." He hurried out of the room.

"Tobe." Kara smiled.

"Yes, milady Kara?"

"I'm fine. I'm not crying anymore. I'd stay away from milady Kel if I were you. She seems a little cranky. Go train to be a knight or something."

He took her seriously.
