Kel put down her Glaive and sighed. It had been 3 months since she had seen Dom, and she didn't know how much longer she could take it. Her love for him had grown until it felt as if it was to burst from her any moment, and she found that each time they were separated she felt as if she could just lie down and die. She so badly wanted to see him and it hurt.

"I miss him so much." She said out loud to herself.

"Miss who? Might it be a certain, dashingly handsome sergeant that loves you more than life itself?" asked Dom, who had been standing, watching her from the door.

"Dom! You're back!" She ran to kiss him, and he picked her up and twirled her around.

Dom put her down and became serious. "There's a serious Scanran raid expected in Port Legan in a week, I'm leaving again, but this time your coming with me!"

"But why aren't you happy, Dom? I'm going to be with you."

"The king's spies say it is going to be one a big raid- Kel, when I was away, I was almost died. Half of our squad was killed by Scanrans." He said, almost crying. "Kel, I can't wait any longer, I want to marry you.'

Kel was shocked. "You can't marry; you're in the King's Own! It's against the rules! And I won't let you quit for me."

"I know that Kel, but no one needs to know! It'll be a secret, there are plenty of places in Corus that will marry us, no questions asked. Please Kel." He looked at her pleadingly.

Kel didn't even give it second thought. "Yes!" She screamed. "Of course! I love you!"

They went down to the temple district in Corus, to the shadiest temple they could find; the wedding had to be as secret as possible. The wedding was short and sweet, but at the end, when they kissed it was the most passionate one they had ever shared.

Dom entered his room, carrying Kel he kicked open the door and put her down.

"I guess it's a little late to ask, but are you sure about this? If anyone find out you will be kicked out of the Own.' Kel said. "I don't want to b responsible for that."

"If I get kicked out, I will come home to my beautiful wife, look into her eyes and kiss her, and my troubles will float away in the wind because there is no sadness that can match my love for you." He said.

"You're almost as bad a poet as Sir Meathead!" she said laughing.

"I'm hurt, deeply hurt." He said, than he kissed her passionately. She sighed and fell backwards onto her bed and Dom blew out the candle.

Kel ran a Scanran warrior through with her glaive. Peachblossom ran to her, she had fallen off her horse earlier in battle. She mounted up and looked around happily. She saw many dead Scanrans, and didn't see a single Tortallan body. The raid was over. She let out a war cry. All the Scanrans were either dead or captured. She decided she was going to see Dom. Dom, his name alone made her shiver with happiness. He was her husband, even though it was secret, she didn't regret a thing. As she rode in, Lord Raoul stopped her; his eyes were red from crying.

"Kel, I need to tell you something."

"Make it quick, I have….. business to attend to." She said, blushing a little, but than saw the look on her former Knight Master's face.

"Kel… It's Dom…."

"What about Dom?" She asked frowning.

"Kel, Dom was killed in the fighting," He said. "He saw you fall off you horse and tried to reach you, but was cut down by a Scanran soldier."

Dundundun!
