Chapter Six
Chloe had discovered that it was difficult, though not impossible, to play chess without hands. Well, they called it hounds and hinds but it was the same difference. Chloe had also discovered that Wren was very good at said game.
"I win!"
:: Again. I should go find someone dumber than me and challenge him. Wonder what Rolan's doing? :: Wren giggled and began to pick up the pieces of the game. This was a marked improvement from when she'd first arrived. She had stopped jumping at shadows and blowing up things, much to the relief of all. Now the problem was teaching her. Wren had soaked up all available magical knowledge like a sponge and was hunting for more.
"Hi Wren." One of the Healers, Shannon, joined them in the garden. "Who's winning?"
"I am." Wren said shyly.
"Mind if I play?" Shannon asked. Wren looked to Chloe. Chloe tossed her head in agreement. Shannon and Wren exchanged pleasantries while setting up the game again. Chloe sensed that Shannon was building to something.
"We've found a teacher for you." Shannon said finally.
"Really? When can I start?"
"Not for a few days, he doesn't live in Haven. His name is Firesong, and he is one of the Tale'edras. You will have to go to k'Valdemar Vale near Lake Evendim." Shannon said frankly. Wren jaw began a slow decline to the ground.
"Firesong is the Adept who trained Princess Elspeth. He is the one best suited to teach you."
"But I thought I would stay here." Wren protested faintly. Chloe thought that Wren had also thought that her teacher wouldn't be of the male persuasion. Fortunately, Rolan had already told Chloe all about Firesong.
:: He's shyach sweetheart. :: Wren flushed. Shannon pretended not to notice. :: He is also a very nice man, if rather full of himself. :: Chloe sent an image of a peacock with a wizard's hat, and Wren stifled a giggle.
"All right then." Wren told Shannon hesitantly. "I'll go."

Just a few litte noteses to all y'all:
first, to everyone who put me on your favorites lists, i am much honored. i hope you jump genres and take a look at some of my other stuff. (please?)
HickoryIgnorance- rabid monkeys would entertain me also, but alas, Chloe's sojourn into Velgarth is a solitary one
ElvenHorse- my personal fav is "By The Sword", (as some may have guessed by the screen name) the first one i read though, was "Eagle and the Nightengales" which isn't in Valdemar. cool though.
