Authors note: I just got sun burnt today and it hurts really badly so if there are a lot of typos don't blame me! Also thank you for the reviews everyone it is great to have somebody actually reading my story it feels awesome! This chapter was actually prewritten in my notebook! I usually don't do that I just write as I think of it, But this time a had a notebook so I wrote it all down its four written pages long I don't know how many words though…
Arielle nodded in agreement,
"We all know that they are looking for you Hannah but now I fear that they are looking for us" She said grimly.
Hannah felt for her necklace,
"I know, Sorry to change the subject but I need that necklace back." Hannah said softly swiftly brushing a tear from her face.
"Necklace?" Arielle questioned,
"It looks like a smaller one of yours; a dragon wrapped around the symbol of yin and yang. Except mine has a white dragon not a black one like yours" She said pointing to the necklace on Arielle's neck.
"I think my Mother and Father gave it to me" She whispered as an afterthought.
Arielle looked at the ground,
"I know how you feel if I ever lost this I don't know what I would do, My mother gave it to me before she left for war, I was only ten" Arielle mumbled the last part grasping her medallion slightly.
"I think you two are meant to go to the orphanage retrieve the necklace and stop them from turning anyone else evil." Kyril mused, smiling at the very notion.
"SO LET'S GO ALREADY!" Hannah said eagerly.
"Well don't you think we need a plan first?" Arielle asked Hannah as if she was talking to some three years old. Hannah nodded,
"Maybe I could let myself be captured and you Arielle could come with me in a Charter skin maybe a rabbit…no smaller… a gerbil or mouse would work I suppose, you could fit in my pocket or under my wings ah that would be perfect." She mused softly her high IQ level showing.
"But then what?" Kyril asked skeptic of the nine year olds plans.
Hannah shook her head,
"I was getting there!" She protested.
"We could go and err stop? The headmaster, Kyril Vira and Kira you could help by following us there a day behind it's a long walk from there I know trust me..." She said concocting the plan in her young mine.
"We could get my necklace back from Nick & John, its probably in their private room, I could get it as a mouse or something while you take care of the Headmaster" She said grinning at her own cunning.
"One problem, you don't know how to put on a Charter skin let alone make one" Arielle protested
"You could teach me couldn't you?" She asked Arielle.
Arielle nodded reluctantly, spending the last few days had made her feel as a sort of a sister to her.
"I will" She said softly.
"Though it will take a few days to teach you, but you are the chosen one so maybe it's in your blood" She mused.
With that Arielle whistled shrilly, Hannah clapped her hands over her ears and shut her eyes tightly.
"OUCH!" She yelled over the racket.
"Just wait" Arielle said smoothly walking out of the cave and to the edge of the mountain forest, there was a soft almost rhythmic patter, the sound of horse hooves on a small forest path. A snow white mare trotted up to Arielle nuzzling her. She sniffed the air and whinnied loudly in terror,
"Dragons" She whispered
"DRAGONS!" She got frantic rearing up on her hind legs, backing up but still awaiting Arielle's order to run or for her to mount her. Arielle read her color sending, they were colors of pure panic reds and oranges but there was a tiny pinpoint of pastel yellow, curiosity. Arielle sent colors for calming, to tame the frantic beast inside the mare, blues and pastels. The mare stood all four legs planted firmly in the ground,
"No Kibeth, No" Arielle soothed walking up to the tense and terrified creature.
"They mean no harm, they are of Kyril's kin" With that Kibeth shook her head sending her black mane into the air as if showing off she also swished her tail. Her warm brown eyes looked deep into Arielle's they shared a bond a bond that could only be compared to as sisters. Kibeth snorted,
"Just what we need more Kyril's" She muttered.
"I heard that!" Came a voice from the cave as Kyril landed on Arielle's shoulder. Hannah followed Kyril walking out of the cave,
"Err, Hi?" She said unsure if this mare could talk as the dragons could. Vira walked out of the cave her tail swishing behind her and Kira pouncing upon the hardened arrowhead end as if it were a mouse in a field.
"Oh look dear, Dinner" Joked Vira a drop of saliva dripping from her open maw. Kibeth looked from Vira to Kira to Arielle.
"Oh don't get your mane in a bunch I was just kidding I wouldn't eat you, horse meat is too muscular not enough flavor." She said smugly. Kibeth turned her head away from the creature. Arielle ignored Vira's sick sense of humor and walked over to Kibeth, speaking to her in elvish, her voice hushed soothing the beast. She opened one of the black saddle bags that the mare had reluctantly allowed to be strapped on to her, Arielle pulled out a large and old book with a maroon cover and black emblem in the middle. Charter marks swam under the surface of the leather cover.
"This is a book to help you learn the ways of the Charter, all the Charter marks are in this book, but it changes frequently and will only show you things that it thinks you are ready for so It might not show you how to make Charter skins but it should so read the whole thing tonight If you have questions ask me in the morning" Arielle said handing the heavy book to Hannah who stumbled on receiving the book.
