Our heoes were in awe of the dramatic sunrise before them-except Carl, who had a bad cold.
"Gabriel, what ails you? You look...distracted."
Asked Anna.
"Cardinal Jinette."
Was his only reply. Gabriel was as still as a statue upon his steed.
Iilana understood at once. The cardinal was not exactly pleased with her breaking the centuries-old stained glass window when she crashed into the lab-and almost into Carl's lap. (Pun intended.) She had assured Gabriel that at least for once-it wasn't his fault. He had found it hard not to snigger along with Carl when she drew him a gorgeous portrait of a pompous rooster in a red dress, strutting around. The headline? Cardinal Jinette. While Anna brought meaning to his life, her cousin gave him reasons to laugh.
"The Cardinal back in Rome was not pleased at the way Gabriel mourned for you,"
Iilana told Anna calmly. He shot her a glare, as if she had exposed him in some way. Indeed, she had, in a way.
"Really?"
He nodded stiffly. He felt his face turn red. Carl sniggered-and sneezed yet again.
"I'm afraid...he will not approve of-
"What? You and Anna being together! Ach! The rooster in a dress is not God, what does HE know about love? "
"She's ri-ACHOO!"
Carl sneezed upon Tae, making her wince.
Carl sniffled miserably. Iilana saddled up to him and gave him a hankerchief. He blew into it.
"Keep it,"
she said. (Wise choice.)
"She has a point."
Replied Anna, saddling up to Gabriel, her angelic face kissing close to his.
"Closer..."
Gabriel thought wistfully.
"ICHIRO!!!!"
Gabriel, Anna, Iilana and Carl nearly fell from their horses at Tae's squeal. Gabriel nearly considered shooting that girl for ruining that moment with Anna.
"Call me Iilana, Tae. What is it?"
"I'm BORED. Let's race –the fastest- here she threw a fine decorated dagger into the air and caught it- gets this. Anyone up for it?"
"Sure."
"BEGIN!"
Transalvian steeds were not famous for nothing. Yet, with Anna, hers seemed to drink the wind. Iilana knew why. Hers was a cross between an Arabian and the beautiful Andulusian. Not surprising, since both were born- runners. Iilana's Arabian was no less fast though. But were equally close to reaching the Valerious manor, she yelled,
"Anna, duck-
Anna ducked just in time. Iilana didn't-either by accident or on purpose- for the overhanging branch and her face met on impact, nearly sending her falling from her steed. Anna whooped with joy as she reached the manor. Then, she yelled to Iilana,
"Are you alright?"
Iilana grinned despite the pain and gave her a 'thumbs-up' sign.
"You deserve that dagger,"
she said, rubbing her sore head. Carl was rummaging through a bag to find medicine. Tae then threw the dagger to Anna. Anna caught it on reflex of course.
"Nice game."
"Indeed."
