A/N: ppl, sorry for taking so long to update, but the teachers gave alot of assignments and i had to complete them and i also had to get my next years' textbooks. so, once again, sorry.

Yaven walked alongside his horse, Hearty. He could feel that the horse was already feeling tired and did not want to tire it more by riding it. Yaven knew better than to tire his horse when danger was looming everywhere.

Even though Tortall did not stress so much on violence, the King still saw the need to maintain a good relationship between rider and horse.

With the help of Derric, Yaven was now on the road to Valendra. Now he tried his best to keep on the move as long as he could, but there were times when both he and Hearty needed to rest. He had wasted a week on another road, so he needed to spend more time traveling.

He was not as near to the place he would be if he did not take the wrong route, but he would reach soon.

Yaven felt thirsty but there was no stream or spring in sight. Hearty whined. He knew Hearty was thirsty too.

Suddenly, Yaven noticed a small spring by a huge rock. Full of energy at the thought of water, he ran to the spring. Gulping down mouthful after mouthful of water, Yaven thanked Mithros. (is it the correct spelling?)

After spending about 15 minutes beside the lake drinking and resting, Yaven made to set off.

A mile more to Mt Tysen. Only 1 mile more.

Yes. Only a mile more and you'll be free. That mountain's so huge they'll probably never find you.

Yeah, you're right.

Of course I'm right, since when was I wrong?

Whatever.

A/N: sorry this chapter is so short. The next few will be longer. It will be updated soon. Probably tmr. Ok? Thanx to those who have reviewed my story.

A/N: the combined series will be in chapter 11 since i had already done chapter 8 and 9 when i asked for opinions on whether it will be combined or individual. yeah, and chapter 10 did not seem appropriate, but its still a combined chapter.

A/N: Tortall Princess: the stranger's indentity will be revealed soon. sry for taking so long to answer ur review.

A/N: wow! that's a lot of author's notes! anyway, just to tell u, the next chapter will be done in the palace.
