N. F. A. I know that the plot is kind of weird and it goes against the
better judgement and normal ability of each character... but it will get back
on track and I wont let you guys down, the odd stuff was just important
because there are some very important parts that will make the plot make
more sense later.
Kel entered her rooms, what Neal had just said... what Dom and Owen had been talking about earlier, it was just to much for her to bear. So much that she almost lost her ability to maintain her mask, but in the end she had to break down. Neal had never been that way, why was her entire world falling to pieces in front of her. They always would say that the best days of your life can once you were a knight, but all they have brought her so far were sorrow. I hate this Kel told herself why do things have to be so hard still. I thought I had proven my self... I thought , well it doesn't really matter what I thought anymore its now and nothing is the way I thought it would be so I might as well make the best of it. There was a knock at the door, Kel waited to listen for the pattern. Certain people have different knocks because Kel would need to know who it was and therefore judging it she had the time to talk to them. Also the speed of the know could inform her as to whether or not it was urgent. Thump... thump... thump, thump, thump, Kel searched through her mind figuring out which person had that knock, it wasn't the common knock for the refugees, but the which one was it. "Oh", she said realizing it was Tobe's, "come on in".
Tobe opened the door, and peered in. "I heard yelling and then you stormed out of the infirmary" he said not in his usual outspoken voice, "why have you been fighting with Neal lately". Kel had adopted Tobe during midwinter, and he spent a lot of time studying all the subjects he missed during his time as a servant. Lately though it had been hard for him to continue his studies without the distraction of Kel or someone else arguing. "Kel, do you even know what is wrong because it is really bothering me that you can't have a conversation with Neal without arguing", Tobe seemed to be truly concerned when he spoke.
"No, Tobe I have no idea", Kel replied. "if I did I would be able to fix it, which you might have noticed that I haven't". Kel was beginning to realize that what she did from this moment on would change the course of the future for herself and the people around her.
"Well, if the two of you must fight please try your best to keep the noise to a minimum. The people are starting to worry that you are arguing about what will happen to them, since they cant make out the words through walls. There are so many rumors and so little time." Tobe was beginning to ramble until he caught himself. Suddenly there was another knock at the door, this time Tobe recognized it. It was one of Wyldons messengers. 'I wonder what this is all about' he thought while he let the man inside...

NFA: now you would think that I would leave it there but ... what kind of good writer makes an entire chapter out of a single conversation that is only a page long.
The messenger walked in, grinning ear to ear. In his hand there was a scroll with the royal seal on it. Handing it to Kel the man said "I also carry a personal message from my lord Wyldon". Handing Kel the document, she broke the seal and read it out loud.
' Dear Keladry,
I am pleased to inform you that space has been made at Golden Lake, and some of the surrounding villages. Your people are to be moved out of the way within the next 14 days. It would be greatly appreciated if they could be taken on the enclosed route since there are still some war affected areas and we would prefer to avoid undue danger for them.
Sincerely
King Jonathan'
After she had re read the first letter at least for times, smiling like she was insane, she asked Tobe to gather the rest of the officers and the head of each refugee house. This was not the kind of news she could hold back from them for very long. In fact her excitement had caused her to forget all about the Personal note from Lord Wyldon. But she couldn't forget it for long, as Tobe trotted out the door to fetch the people she had asked for, The messenger asked if she would like to see the other letter now. Kel realizing that she had forgotten the letter all together grinned and replied that yes she would like to see it. Opening the letter she noticed it was addressed to herself as well as Dom and Neal, noting that she would have to send deliver this to them she read the letter.
