Sorry, this didn't get updated yesterday, but I was getting a little stir crazy from staying home so much so I treated myself to a day out. Mental talk like this *Blah*
Chapter 27--A God Sent Vision
Shandra was in the stable with Titan when it happened. Her vision went black and she was walking along a forest path. She heard chanting and saw giant spiders rushing at her. She realized somehow she was seeing through Drizzt's eyes. She witnessed the whole battle then felt the agony as the spider venom overcame him. Everything went black. "Drizzt! NO!" Shandra cried then she snapped back to her senses to find Titan nuzzling her with concern. She was lying on the floor. *Go to him, Paladin or it will be too late, * a man's voice said in her mind. "Tyr?" Shandra asked, but she knew it was.
Shandra scrambled to her feet and ran back into the inn to gather her things. She paused at the bar and paid for her lodging then rushed back to the stable. In ten minutes she had put on Titan's tack and loaded her gear then they rode towards the city gates. Tarion blocked her.
"Shandra, I must speak to you," Tarion said.
"I don't have time. I must hurry," Shandra said. She rode past Tarion without waiting for a reply. Soon she was out of the city and urged Titan to a gallop. She knew exactly where to go. It seemed like she was being guided and she felt she was. The vision had proved something else. It proved that Tyr still believed her worthy to be in his service. He had not forsaken her.

Drizzt watched the door tensely as the door opened and two Humans walked in, a woman and a man. He recognized the woman as the one that had attacked him, but he'd never seen the man before. He glared at them.
"I'm glad you awoke I had feared that you had been bitten to often and wouldn't survive even though I gave you an antidote for the poison," the woman said.
"Why have you attacked me and brought me here?" Drizzt demanded.
"I'm a mage, but I'm also a scholar and I seek to learn. There are things I wish to ask, so I may learn more about your race," Glenna said.
"I don't need to be tied down to answer questions," Drizzt retorted.
Glenna actually looked sheepish. "I fear that is not true. Some of the things I wish to now are physical and will be painful," she admitted. "First though, introductions are in order. I'm Glenna and this is Ulric." She looked expectantly at Drizzt.
Drizzt didn't speak. He just stared at her. This woman is insane. She's acting like this is a friendly social gathering, he thought.
"You aren't going to tell me your name? I'll need it for my notes," Glenna asked.
"Here's something for your notes. Go to hell," Drizzt snapped. "Release me!"
Glenna shook her head. "At least you could be civil about this," she complained.
Ulric grinned. "I think that can't be done until your examinations are complete, huh Glenna?" he joked.
"No, I doubt that's possible. Well, there are still things that must be prepared before we may get started. Rest while you can, you'll need your strength," Glenna said and they left, closing the door.
*****************************
Shandra had been forced to slow down by the rough trail. She had been traveling about an hour when she heard another horse coming. She halted Titan and waited. She was surprised when she recognized the rider. "Tarion? Why are you following me?" she asked.
"What 's going on? I might be able to help," Tarion said.
Shandra could tell he was truly sincere, so she told him about the vision. "I can feel Tyr guiding me to Drizzt. I can't abandon him. Drow or not, I feel like our fates are linked," she said.
"Then as a fellow Paladin I offer you my blade. Let me aid you," Tarion said.
"Your offer is accepted. Thank you, Tarion," Shandra said.
They rode off towards their destination, wondering what they would find once they got there…..
