Kel paced over New Hopes doors. The girl was to arrive any day now. Three days ago Allanna arived with a group of people. She had disscovered that the Tall Made was Numair, the Wild One was Daine, and the Spy Man was Allanna's husban George for he was the king's spymaster. They were all waiting for this girl that they had heard about. Kel was still walking trying to figure out what would happen when she did get there when a the watchman called out to her. There was someone out there.
Kel pulled out her spyglass and looked out. Coming down the road was a loan figure. A tall horse with a hooded rider. Both looked werry. Kel told them to let her go that she was no threat. She called out to Allanna and the others. Footsteps sounded there approch. Allanna stood beside her with her own spyglass out.
"Is that her?" Allanna asked after a moment. Kel surrendered her spyglass to Neal, who stood on her other side. "It has to be," she said, "Who else would wander down this road alone?" She took back her spyglass and looked out to study the girl. She couldn't see much of her face. She looked really tall for a girl. She had an elegent look to her. She rode her horse straddeled, not side sadlle like a lady would, suggesting she had been riding a long time. Her cloak and hood were black while she wore a commeners dress of dark green. Her horse was a tan color with black stockings, mane, and tail.
While they watched her she got closer. "Lets go down to meet her. Her horse is so tired and I would like to get it groomed and feed as quick as possible," said Daine as she turned to walk down the stairs. The others followed her down. They reached the door as it was oppening. The horse slowly walked in. The young girl looked around. Her eyes fell on Kel's and she couldn't look away. Her eyes were a blue green color. Like a rare stone. Shining out of the pale face of it's host. "My I stay here?" She asked, her voice rasping from lack of water. "Yes you may. Welcome to New Hope Lady.." Kel said to her. She looked away from Kel. "No lady. Just Kiba."
She slid off her horse in a non gracefull way. She stagered a bit and almost fell but Neal cought her. Her horse walked over and nuzzeled her. Diane took it's rains and tryed to walk away with it. The horse didn't move. Everyone looked at Daine, then the horse, then the girl. When had an animal ever dissoaby Daine like that? The girl stroked her horse. "Go on, Cracker. She won't hurt you, and I'll be fine. I just need some food and rest. You'll get the same now go. The last thing I need is for you to die cause of me." The horse nodded and turned to walk with Daine. The girl smiled then passed out in Neal's arms.
