Chapter Seven: A vision
When I woke up my head felt much better that when I had gone to sleep. The many aches along my body had disappeared all but the most sever. I looked around and found I was in a white washed room full of shelves and shelves of herbs and medicine. 'This must be the hospice.' I thought. If this is the hospice than that means.
Ah you are awake. Good because I wont tolerate a luarin in this hospice any longer. Especially for a few bumps and bruises." Yep, that means good old happy Ochobu Dodeka the resident mage.
"Grand mother, you must not be so harsh. Aly says she is to be respected among the servants. And Lady Winnamine trusts Aly's judgment." A voice that made me heart warm and my checks blush said from behind Ochobu. It was the daring patrolmen that I had just recently learned was named Calminen. It would seem that he was yet another grandchild of the mage.
Throughout my observations grandmother and grandchild had been bickering about something or another. "-and you should show more respect for your elders. Your father has taught you bad habits. Now that you have finally graced us with your presence for more that a day I will have to teach you some manners." It went on like this for a few minutes and all the while Calminen had a small smile on his face like this was regular behavior.
"I hate to interrupt this show of affection but I would like to talk to Aly about certain delicate matters. I do think I am well enough o leave Ochobu so if you would assist me in getting up I will be on my way, and out of your hair." This I said over the bickering to make myself heard.
As soon as I had uttered my words silence took hold of the room. "What did you call me child?" It was then that I realized my error. "I don't remember telling you my name. Did you Calminen?" all Calminen could do was shake his head in wonder.
"I know your name from the god." I said hastily. "He told me as I slept." It was an out right lie but it seemed to satisfy them.
"Ah, how foolish of me. Of course the god will have told you all you needed to know. If that is all?" The question wasn't meant for me but for Calminen. He answered with a nod of his head. "Alright then, Calminen help this girl up and take her to Aly. Then come straight back and help me clean up." It was an obvious dismissal so I took the hand Calminen offered me and walked out, careful not to sow the stiffness of my limbs to the mage.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aly was talking to the cook, Chenaol, when Kelly and Calminen came upon them. Aly was asking Chenaol if she would mind another helper in the kitchen. One that could be trusted. The cook was about to say that she had enough hands thank you very much when she saw me Kelly walking in the door.
"Now that have starved girl that looks like a kraken chewed her up and spat her out wouldn't perhaps be who you had in mind for me? Would it?" she asked with an unreadable glint in her eye. As soon as I saw her I was back in the field of light. But this time I didn't stay in light, no after a few seconds it began to dissipate and in its place was a picture. In this picture stood five serene people. One was the cook, one Calminen, another was Aly, and the fourth was a woman with a noble look about her, and the fifth, strangely enough was myself. There were crows perched on a lone figure in the background and flying horses filled the air.
As soon as I had taken this all in I was once again standing in the manor's kitchen looking dazed. "Are you alright Kelly?" the blurry figure in front of me said in Calminen's voice. 'The blurry figure must be Calminen then' said the logical part of my brain. It was also this logical part that made myself answer in a reassuring tone that I was quiet all right.
'What could those pictures mean?' I wondered, though I new I would most likely know before my part in this is done.
