Neal's shoulder point of view... 5 years after Kels departure.........................
Neal, Cleon, Faleron, Roald, Merric, Seaver, Prosper, and Owen (am i forgetting anyone???) walked out to the practice court. As they rounded the bend they could see their old page Shang Teeachers, Eda Bell, Shang Wild cat, and Hakuin Stone (is that right??), the shang Horse, talking to another women. She was beautiful with dark skin and wiry musles. She had a long black hair that had neat waves reacing a foot above her waist. By the mere sight of her the bous were half in love. The only boy who remained non-chalant was Owen. His freinds decided he was to young for love.
While the women explained something to the two teachers they looked thoroughly excited. Eda Bell had a somewhat smug smile on her face, and Hakuin looked suprised but happy. Eda Bell was the first to see the aproaching squieres, Owen who was still a page. She nudged her freinds and they all turned to face the approaching boys. They turned to face them.
"Hello Squires, owen." The shang Horse happilly greeted them. "We would like you to meet our freind." He pushed forward the tall beautiful women. "This is Kylaii el Jmaa, shang Unicorn." Kylaii nodde to them smiling. Owen was the first to speak.
"Your a SHANG, that is so cool!!" Owen said thoroughly excited. The Horse and Wildcat smiled. So did Kylaii.
"I have proof." Kylaii said. She turned faced her back to the squires and lifted up her black blanket of hair. On her neck their was a beautiful unicorn with blood on it's horn. The eyes of the unicorn were sparkling, very similiar to Kylaii's own eyes. The beautiful details were all in a very dark black ink.
"Is that how you can tell if someone is Shang?" Neal asked, obviously curius. The horse and Wildcat both nodded and showed their necks. On Hakuin's neck he had a picture of a very stiff stallion. The main of the stallion was blowing in the wind as it reared in the air. It's eyes were also eirily familiar to The horses. The wildcats tatoo was of a a wildcat that apeared to be leaping from her neck. It's claws were outstretched. It's eyes had the same flicker as the Horses. Kylaii was the first to speak.
"I must excuse you I must go speak to a very nervous apreintace of mine. " She said with a nod. She looked as though she was about to leave when Cleon bursted out with a question.
"Why is your apreintace nervous?" He asked. Kylaii turned around.
"She has her ordeal," Kylaii said. She seemed somewhat impatient. "Why else do you think I would come to the palace to Lord Wyldon's courtyard. The man who is to stubborn to think that a girl can beat him." She said shaking her head. All the boys exept Merric and Owen cringed. It reminded them of Lady Keldery. Their old best freind. They hadn't seen her in 5 years. Neal stiffened he had been the cosest to Kel. He hadn't spoken to Lord Wyldon for almost a month.
"You guys are welcome to come." Eda Bell said with a wiked grin. Kylaii turned to her and laughed.
"Going to have to happen sometime." Kylaii said. "Best when she's half dead from the Chamber." The other Shangs laughed. "You should come. She will come out tomorrow morning. She goes in tonight. Though I would advice you not to come out for that. Your shang teachers are coming." Kylaii said smiling broadly.
"Why are you going?" Prosper asked curious.
"We used to be her teachers." Hakuin said with a laugh. The look on his face seemed somewhat ironic.
"Is she good?" Owen asked eagerly. He had heard so many stories of Keldrey of Midlean and wanted to meet someone like her. The other shangs laughed.
"Let's just say if you said that she was pretty, you would be across the room unconciuos before you can blink." Kylaii said. The boys cringed at the thought. Kylaii then faced her coleges. "The sadest thing happened today. She beat me in sparring." She said pouting. The boys gawked. The Unicorn was known to be the best of the best. Someone beating her that was unheard of. " Now she has beaten me at sparring, swords, tilting, archery, and you-know." With the last word she glanced at the Shang masters who nodded with understanding.
"You should list the stuff that you can beat her at, It would be much shorter." Hakuin said with a good hearted laugh.
"I would but it hurts my pride," She said with a smile. "That list is empty but for one thing." She looked up dramaticizing it all. "Showing my emotions." All the Shangs broke down laughing. They were laughing so hard. That the young pages began to scoot away. The older ones were left with a strange look of Daja vu. Kel had never shown emotions, and she had wanted to be a warrior. *No forget about Kel* Neal told himslelf firmly.
While in his daze the Unicorn had left in laughter.
"She's a character," Roald muttered. Eda who had heard smiled.
"Wait until you meet her apreintace
* * *******
Kel lay panting on the hard cold stone ground panting. Her hands blooded from pounding the walls.
*Is that all you got?* She though furiously to the chamber of ordeal. *You are just some crazy magical room that pounds at somones fear until they break! Well it won't work on me!" She thought at the room shaking her head positively.
*You will do.* a magical voice boomed in her head. Kel jumped up. She hadn't expected the room to answer. *You would have done better as a knight, Shang will do though* Kel pushed the painful memorys of loosing her knight hood. *Fate has two tasks for you, first you must make it able for girls to become knights. The next task will not come into play for at least two to three years. Their is a man you must kill him. Stop his practices.*
`In kels head she saw a hug picture they was a tiny man with no hand a sweaty face, huge nose, and tiny eyes. He was sweating profusely. In a giant metal creature walked into the scene, it was carying a dead child. The huge metal creature through a threw the chil off to the corner. Her minds eye followed his toss. The body landed on a pile filed with dead children. Kel was furious. She jumped up and wanted to kill the man in her mind.
*calm down,* it boomed in her mind *you must be patient, I have been asked to tell you. You are mithros warrior.* Kel was shocked at this. Mithros was the god that mainly supported men. The goddess suported women. If Mithros wanted their to be women warriors. Then their should be women warriors.
As she thought of this the huge doors swung open. She stood and walked out of the room. Trying to figure out what the Chamber had said. When she walked out of the chamber everyone gasped. Her light brown wavy hair which was usually bouncy and full of life were weighed down lightly with sweat. Her hazel green eyes were thinking. Her big full red lips were curved somewhat upward in a smile. Her porselin skin only had a light sheen of sweat. Even after going through the chamber a fool could see she was beautiful. they instantly recognized her as Keldery of Midlean.
She blushed at the attention. Her previous Shang Master walked up to her.
"Goddess Kel," Kylaii said with a laugh. "You look almost happy. How was the Chamber?" Kel didn't answer at first.
"How was what?" She asked staring at her freinds who were staring back.
"You've already forgotten about it ? !" Kylaii asked shocked. She new her apreintace was tough, but tough enough to go into the chamber and come out and completely forget about it. That was suprising. She didn't get an answer from Kel. Kel was heading straight towards her group of freinds. With them their was one two other people she didn't recognize. One was tall with jet black hair and dreamers blue eyes. He looked similiar to Neal. The other was short and plump with brown hair he looked like he was about to jump out of his pants.
"Hello," Kel said timidly. Her freinds just stared back dazed. The short plump one looked to excited to speak. The tall black haired one let out a sigh of exastperation. He stood infront of his freinds and bowed low and dramatically.
"I am Sergent Dominition of Masbolle. I am the commander of the third company in the Kings own." He said. Kel liked him she smiled. "Sir meathead is my cousin." HE flicked his head towards neal. Neal began to protest and Kel laughed. "I beleive you know all of this lot, but the lad who looks like he is about to wet himself is Owen. He's actually a fair bit obsessed with you." He said with a look at the jumping boy. Kel laughed and then looked past to see a scowling neal.
"Neal... guys?" Kel asked softly.
"Why didn't you write to tell us?" Neal asked. "And Don't Shangs usually get knighted at 18, not barely sixteen?"
"Yes, I was advanced early." She said then the look in her eyes changed to one of pleading. "I would have written, but I didn't want anyone reading the mail before you. A training master for instance." He gaze hardened when she spoke of Lord Wyldon. Neal pondered this for a while before brightening.
"Okay, but you owe me." Neal said happlily hugging her. All the others sighed with releif and began hugging her as well. Kel smiled. Kylaii walked over and put her arm around Kels shoulder. She smiled warmly at Kel's freinds.
"Good job guys." She said hugging Kel aroung the shoulders in a motherly way. "This is the happiest I've ever seen her in my life. Come on Shang Question, let's go get you to rest." She led a yawning Kel back towards the palace.
************
Once in the room that the two of them shared Kylaii shut the door behind her and looked at Kel Expectantly.
"So which god is it. Who's warrior are you. People as good as you are always chosen by a god." Kylaii said. Kel ran her hand threw her hair and looked at Kylaii.
"Mithros." Kel said. Kylaii gasped.
"He is the king of gods, the god of men," Kylaii gasped.
"I know." Kel said. This was the point when Kylaii was truly awed at her apreintance.
