Here's chapter 5. I know you guys are reading my story so please REVIEW!


Feidhelm sat back, content with Quilan's progress. Standing, he stretched and then whispered to the pool, causing the images to disappear and fade. If any should look upon the pool, they would see a plain stone basin full of crystal clear water, and that would be all. Retiring for the night, Feidhelm extinguished the lights with a wave of his hand and headed off to his chambers.
Quilan sighed, feeling the eyes of Fiedhelm finally leave him. The king had retired to bed, and perhaps would give him more than a good night's sleep alone without his constant supervision. He gladly accepted the offer of work from Eamon, eager to prove himself nothing more than a mere human, giving Roisin's father no reason to doubt or distrust him. Through out the day, Quilan applied himself to his tasks, helping the family sell large quantities of vegetables and staple grains. The sacks of raw wheat were some of the first to go, the local village miller eagerly bartering for all twelve sacks. Quilan watched, amused, as Roisin took care of most of the bartering. Talking the miller up from the pitiful price of five chickens and a small calf to a well fatted cow and her new born calf, she achieved the most successful trade of the day. As the family began to pack up the things that did not sell and their newly acquired items, the cow and calf included, clouds began to gather alarmingly fast. The wind began to pick up as they headed out of town. Just as the farmstead came into sight, the heavens let loose their furry.

"Roisin, you and the boy unload the cart and put away the horses, the come inside!" Eamon was already on his way into the house, herding the younger children in front of him. They made all hast to get inside the small barn as fast as possible. The wind shook the walls of the barn, but inside they were fairly safe and relatively dry. Looking around, Quilan jumped down from the cart and offered his hand up to help Roisin down.

"Thank you. Come, should get these horses put away. Take the cow and calf and put them in the second stall on the right, next to Benny." She then moved to the side of one of the giant horses and quickly began to remove the leather straps, releasing it from the harness. Quilan removed the rope from the back of the cart and led the unwilling cow into her new home next to the large mule.

The storm raged about them, but they moved unconcerned. Quietly they put things in their proper places, ropes on hooks, extra straps and bits of leather with the harnesses, fodder for the horses and cow in the loft above, all things had their place. Once they had finnished putting everything away, Roisin turned to head back to the house.
