People were chattering away in the room. Daine could here them faintly
through the small hole. Here is what she heard.
"Did you get the girl??" asked a tall slender woman around the age of 25.
"Yeah, her and that wretched pony are down in the cellar. That horse kicked my in the leg!!" replied an older man, about 35.
"Are you sure she is the one??" asked another young woman about 20.
"Yeah," replied a young man sitting in the corner. He looked around 20 as well. He was the one who had got Daine. "She had the light inside, we could see it. It was a faint copper light. Just enough of it to overcome even the best mage. Numair Salmalin has competition with this mage."
"Does she know about her Gift?" asked the younger woman.
"No, but her mother has been trying to teach her to heal." He said. "According to Garth, the Scanran Future Mage, she will be taught by Numair to use her Gift. We must keep them apart. They are said to meet when the girl is 13." When he finished, they all sat quietly for a moment.
Another woman walked into the room and took a seat in the corner, "Hello," she said. "Sorry I'm late. I had to deal with the girl. I missed the introduction, will you all say your names?"
They introduced themselves as the following:
The tall slender woman was named Narcissa Trekna The younger woman around 20 was Emily Stone. The man around 35 was Nicholas Parche. The man around 20 was Christopher Vivaldi. The woman who came in late was Sarah Moreau.
The conversation continued. Her is a summary of what Daine overheard.
These people had seen a light in her. She did not want to admit she had a Gift though. They were planning on killing her. They were going to hang her so they would be sure she was dead.
It was to happen tomorrow, leaving Daine only hours to plan an escape.
Read the next chapter to find out what happens during their farewells with Daine.
