Chapter one Death

Blood made his tunic soaked. His blue eyes watered with pain. Suddenly, his world spun and blackened.

At Corus



Sipping tea with her mother, the sturdy knight talked to Ilane. A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. The Baroness rose and opened the door; outside was a messenger.

" His Royal Majesty sent me to tell Lady Keladry something." He announce nervously. Why was he avoiding her gaze? Kel mused over that. She knew that the ,esage wasn't going to be cheerful. Her mother allowed the man in. He walked over to Kel and whispered something in her ear. Ilane watched her daughter turn pale beneath her tan. The Knight's cup shattered on the floor.

"No," she whispered. "No." The poor man hurried from the room. A tear slid down her cheek, followed by more. She started to sob.

" What is it? Please tell me." The lady of Mindelan begged, " What is wrong?"

" Dom's dddead." She forced the words out. At that she fled to her room. Her mother's gaze followed her down the hall. At her room Kel threw five cups she had used last night, against the wall. When each one shattered, she wished it would bring Dom back. Finally, she slid down the wall, sobbing. Her tears stayed, unbidden. Gods, she wished he would come back. ( AN I'm so mean to Kel. Aren't I?)
