Chapter 5

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Irnai smiled as she came out of her trance. Life for the Protector of the Small was just about to get interesting... Irnai loved when the gods allowed her to see into the life of Lady Knight Kelandry and her friends' lives. They were going to lead the most interesting lives.

Her favorite part was when she saw something that was going to happen, and some little thing happened to change their fates. One small incident could change the course of everyone's destiny.

Irnai loved it. Especially the fact that Sir Nealan, her friend, had is life so full of surprises. And he didn't like surprises too much. It was fun to watch him. His life's road was littered with little surprises. Not to mention the bigger surprises!

Lady Kel doesn't like bombshells in her life much either and was in for one big eye-opener of an intrusion!

Irnai grinned and gazes into the mirror that allowed her to see the present, past, and future. It was one of the instruments gifted to her by the Gods and she used it often to watch the lives of those she was put on earth to protect and watch over.

The scene of Kel and the sewing shop soon loomed into view...

This is a short, short, short chapter that I just added to spice things up a little, if not a lot. I really just wanted to have Irnai in here somewhere. I like her character. I think Tamora Pierce needs to write a spin-off of Irnai and her life with Tobe. Yes, I'm shipping Tobe with Irnai. I think they would be so cute together. Or Tobe and Nealan's daughter. Or even Irnai with Kel and Dom's son. Lol. There I go inventing people again... Anywoo, I'd like to read fics about Irnai so if you have one, give me a shout in the reviews, okay?
