Ha-ha I have updated once more! Unfortunately I will be going away for the next two weeks so that means no updates! Ok, here is chapter VI. WOOHOO!
"W…w…well at l…least we know where to g…go," said Kel, stuttering quite badly.
Dom rang the bell for a servant who quickly came hurrying in. "Please inform the King," hurried Dom, "That we must find Sir Nealan of Queenscove at once; it is a matter of utmost urgency. Also tell him that, with all due respect, we will not take any refusal and must leave at once." The servant, quite understandably, looked highly afraid at having to tell His Majesty this quite…unsettling news. However, he could no more refuse to take an order from nobles as well thought of as these two, than he could from the king himself. "Oh yes," added Dom, "And also please find supplies for a month and horses to carry them."
"At once, your lordship," replied the nervous servant.
No sooner than five minutes after the servant had left the door, well over a dozen people rushed into Neal's small suite. A heavily panting Alanna was the first to speak: "Heard there was an adventure," she managed to get out of her mouth. "Must come on adventure."
"Besides," panted an equally exhausted Raoul, "Safety in numbers."
The rest of the small crowd nodded in agreement.
"But, your majesties, you definitely can't come!" exclaimed Kel to King Jonathan and Queen Thayet.
"Well, why ever not?" argued the King.
"You've got to run the country! Alanna, you're King's Champion; Raoul, you're in command of the King's Own; Buri, you command the Queen's Riders; Faleron, Seaver, you're leaving tomorrow and, and…"
"Remember to breathe next time, dear," said Raoul, most annoyingly.
"Haha, that still leaves me, Lerant and Owen!" yelled Merric excitedly. The three remaining people cheered…or at least two of them cheered while Owen said "jolly" over and over and over again.
Kel and Dom quickly explained what was wrong and the three remaining people quickly stopped cheering. As Owen nicely put it, it was "not very jolly at all".
The next day at six bells in the morning, they set off for Tusaine.
Even shorter than usual, I know, but I'm really busy packing today. R&R!
