Chapter 2
Race Against The Dark God
Neal searched Kel to find where she was bleeding. He found it cutting down her left side and a crossed her stomach. "Tobe," Neal said distractedly as he cleaned the wound, "go find my father. Tell him I need him here as quick as possible."
"But, Kel yelled at me to fetch you right when the assassins attacked. She said Duke Baird was in a conference with the King," Tobe said frightened.
"And I'm telling you that this requires a better healer. If you don't get my father she'll die," Neal said his temper rising. Tobe ran out of the room as Neal's green fire spread over Kel keeping her alive till Duke Baird arrived.
Tobe knew exactly where to find Duke Baird. Kel had said, as Tobe ran to get Neal that he was in Raoul's chambers with the King, Alanna, Raoul, and Lord Wyldon. Tobe ran as fast as his legs would permit. He finally reached the meeting place and pounded furiously on the door. Raoul answered it and said, "Tobe..."
"Duke Baird. Neal needs him. Kel is hurt. Assassins," Tobe gasped trying to catch his breath.
"WHAT? Never mind explanations later. Baird, Neal needs your help. Kel is hurt," he hollered in to the rest of the room as Tobe started to lead the way back. Everyone in the room followed Tobe and Raoul to Kel's rooms to get some answers and to help Neal.
Duke Baird knelt beside his son, who was pale and sweating from keeping his friend alive. Alanna pulled her former squire, Neal, away from Kel so Baird could do his work. Neal had stopped the bleeding but he had been unable to heal Kel while keeping her from the Dark God.
Baird with his years of experience and training started to heal the long deep cut down Kel's side and a crossed her stomach, probably from a Long Sword, he thought. He could see why Neal had been unable to heal Kel while keeping her alive. She had lost too much blood for Neal, as experienced as he was, to save her. Baird however was more powerful than his son.
He finally finished and said, "She should be fine now, but she'll sleep a while."
A/N I really enjoyed typing this one up it answers some questions while leaving many to continue the story. If you enjoyed reading this and want more chapters please review.
