There was a kind of thrumming against Alanna's eardrum, she winced a bit before realizing what it was, voices. She couldn't tell what they were saying but they were all men according to the bass nuances. As she awakened bit by bit, her eyelids lightened atop her eyes and the light of the room filtered through them. With that she groaned loudly in pain and scrunched her eyes tightly against the offending light.
The ailed squire felt someone sit on the bed next to her, calling a name she couldn't understand. Something about the tones in that voice told her something.Jonathan. the thought leapt at her when a callused, male hand brushed a few strands of stray hair from her face affectionately.
She blinked tentatively. Looking through the haze the light was creating in her eyes, she confirmed her guess about the owner of the gentle hand. Behind the young Prince stood her friends, Gareth of Naxen the Younger, Raoul of Goldenlake, her eyes slit suspiciously as her gaze fell upon the fourth face in the room, that of Alexander of Tirragen but they were all looking at her with such concern that she relaxed.
"Did you miss me?" Alanna asked, grinning in spite of herself. Her eyes still hurt from the light of the room, at first she thought it was from her recent state of unconsciousness but soon realized Jon's bedroom was unnaturely luminous. Her ears had now fully recovered so she asked, "Why's it so bright in here?"
There was a moment's pause as Alanna sat up and the concern in her friends' faces drained away. The black haired king-to-be was the first to speak, "I don't really know and Faithful won't speak to me so I was hoping you could tell me." He looked at her hopefully.
Alanna smiled and got up off the bed, leaving Jon on his own. She picked up Faithful, draping the quickly growing kitten over her shoulders and walked up to the gaping hole in the wall across from her. It was totally black, as if it were sucking in all the light around it. or maybe the reverse. it all clicked in the amethyst eyed girl's head. "It's quite simple really, I'm surprised you didn't think of it yourself. The hole is made entirely out of magic." she paused for emphasis, "and lack of light!" She finished triumphantly.
"What!?" Cried Raoul, taking a step forward.
"Huh?" Sounded Gary confusedly at the same time.
Alex made no sound but lifted an eyebrow at her quizzically.
Jon waited a moment before demanding calmly, "Explain."
"Certainly," replied Alanna airily. "My magic didn't really create a hole exactly, not physically anyway," seeing the confused looks of her companions, she explained more thoroughly. "This isn't a hole in the wall in which magic is put to transport whoever walks into it where it's supposed to, like any normal portal. It's a surface that is controlled by magic and repels light so as to create this portal of sorts to wherever whatever or whomever the Gifted one wishes, but hose cannot be changed or altered for they are set in before even activating the magic." she trailed off, hoping they understood at least partly. " Yeah."
"So this repelling of light is what causes the rest of the room to be so illuminated." Jon used aloud as he pieced it all together.
"Precisely," Alanna added curtly.
Master will be pleased with this new bit of information. Thought Alex smugly.
Gary had regained his wits and asked; "And what exactly are the wishes you set into this portal or whatever it is?" After Alanna had explained the trajectory of the portal, the companions started to decide which plan of action would be wisest to employ.
"I think we should go ahead and do it!" Said Alanna and Jon simultaneously.
"No! we should tell Father, he knows about the Gift and stuff like that, he could tell us if it's too dangerous," Gary replied immediately, always the cautious one. Alex nodded assent, trying to buy himself some time to tell the Duke.
"No way! We can't have him nosing in our fun!" Gary glared at Raoul but the burly knight paid no heed. "We should prepare for any kind of danger and then hop right in there!" Raoul told them enthusiastically yet firmly. Alanna thought about it and agreed with Raoul, this could bring them anywhere, the edge of a cliff, the icy tip of an iceberg, anywhere!
"Raoul's right, we should prepare for any eventualities, Gary can leave a note for his father telling him what we're doing and when we plan on coming back." Jonathan nodded to himself, it was a good plan.
"Alright, " Gary assented reluctantly. His three friends beamed at him. Then all eyes turned to Alex, he frowned and nodded slowly. He could get his information to Roger when he was supposed to be getting prepared.
"Good," Alanna said firmly. "Let's get started."
How was it? Don't just stand there and think your answer! Tell me! There's a beautiful purple (on my screen anyway) button for you to press! Go on tell me what you think! Thx again to everyone who has already reviewed! :D Ciao!
