The Veil of Light
Chapter Six: Blissful sleep
As Aly walked down the corridors of the Balitang hose hold she couldn't help thinking about the girl that waited ahead of her. "I hope she isn't a complete ingrate. I need some one to control a spy network because I am to busy for it now. Kyprionth had better have sent me a person with formidable skills or I'm turning her lose."
Ever thing was flowing through her mind so quickly that she didn't notice that she had bumped into someone. "Aly you are busy?" Said Nawat Crow.
" Oh, sorry Nawat can't talk now got a meeting with a god." She replied hurriedly. 'I can't get into something now I am really busy I hope he doesn't get angry.' She thought.
"We will talk later then alright?" he asked
"Yes later. I promise." Then she took off again still thinking hard.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was still sitting in the cramped storage shed. Still staring at that same young man while he stared back at me. I didn't even know his name yet I felt I had known him forever. I know that sounds corny but it is the truth and even then I knew it.
We were still staring at each other, him in curiosity and me in wonder, when the door opened to admit a girl no older than I with short red hair. This, I thought, must be Aly.
"Good work Calminen you can wait outside until I am in need of you." She said and it became apparent to me that I was up against more of an examination then I had first thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The examinations went on for hours she asked my name where I came from; she gave some speculation over my answer to this question. I don't think she believed I came to be here because I traveled through a veil of light. She asked me if I had the Gift or the sight and I answered that I wasn't sure. She asked if I had gotten or was going to get anything for my services to Kyprionth, to this question I answered firmly no. I didn't want them to think I was here for money. "I have my morals you know." I said to her. Aly seemed to except that and went on.
Aly asked every question you can imagine about who I was to my favorite color and I answered them all, even if some made little sense to me as to why I was being asked them.
At one point she asked about how I got here and I explained about the trail and the quiet. When I finally got to the part about my trip through the light, I was feeling so tired I had to stop every three words to yawn. When I came to how I had absorbed all the light my body could withstand, I started to forget the words I was about to say somewhere between my brain and my mouth. Finally I told about my hard landing and my talk with the god. By this point I was as awake as a snoring baby and useless in answering questions. She seemed to except I was through for the evening and brought in Calminen to hear how he had found me.
"I saw a bright flash of light in the sky that momentarily blinded me. My team and I decided to go check it out. When we got there we found her laying on the ground all covered in bruises. I decided that if she was that beat up we should let her rest, so we waited until she woke up. When she did wake up she was dazed, you could tell because she didn't see us right away. I admit this angered me and that is why instead of asking how she got to be so hurt I told her to stand with her hands in the air.
"Doubtless you know the rest." He concluded with a sigh.
"Yes, I do. Now I can see you are both asleep on your feet. Calminen show- Kelly right?" this was addressed at me. I nodded assent "to where she will be staying, in with the servants. Then go to bed yourself you look asleep o your feet."
Calminen helped me up. I was too exhausted to get up on my own. I really wanted to see a healer but I guess it wasn't necessary to be healthy for what she had planned for me.
"I don't care what Aly says before you sleep you see a healer. The name is Calminen and yours is Kelly I believe. Am I right? No need to answer I can tell you are tired." We continued walking, well he walking me limping while putting most of my weight on him, in silence for I while. When I couldn't take it any more I asked, "What do you think she will do with me?"
He didn't answer right away, I think he might have been considering the options, but when he did talk it surprised the heck out of me. " I think she is going to put you in charge of some thing dangerous like a spy job or recruiting. You can't use a bow-n-arrow can you?" he didn't wait for an answer, just kept on talking, "and I suppose you don't know any martial arts do you? Well if you did I would ask to have you in a patrol but."
At this point I forgot my fatigue in my anger over being walked on so many times so I yelled "For a matter of fact I do know some martial arts and I was best in my archery class!" This bout of anger had thoroughly extinguished all of the stored up energy I had ever possessed, so I leaned heavily on Calminen breathing in his sent. It was very comforting so comforting that I began to drift off.
I was near blissful sleep when I heard him half mutter "I will have my hands full with this one. Can't wait." Then I drifted off into oblivion.
