Magic's Dilemma
Summary: It would have happened sooner or later. A continuation of Vanyel's story had he not died.
Disclaimer: This Story stinks! The Valdemar stories rock! Do you really think they could have been written by the same person?!? Well, anyways, this does not belong to me.
Chapter 6
One week later, Vanyel was in his room sleeping, when he was jolted awake by the feeling of approaching doom. Within a minute he felt something missing… something which had been fading away for a long time. A heartbeat later he felt a cold wash of anguish pour over him and yet another presence vanish. The death bell rang.
He leapt out of bed while pulling on his clothes, knowing who was gone for ever… knowing he was needed. With Stef a mere step behind him, he raced across the palace towards the royal wing. Once there, he could hear the cries of a young lady whom he expected to be there in such a state. It was Jisa.
As her father, by blood, not by early, or common, knowledge, he wished more than anything to comfort her, but knew he could not… knew that Treven, her husband and king to be, would. He could sense Stefen's indecision and then his departure. Stefen would help her. He had to continue to the council to make a formal decision as to the passing of royal powers. It had been King Randale and his lifebonded, Shavri who had died. He had felt it, along with all other Heralds, since the adjustments to the net; which connected all of them.
In the council chamber he found everyone there, waiting. They had been expecting it… waiting for the next ringing of the death bell… knowing it would be for their king. Dressed in black, yet fashionably, they all sat there. He nodded politely, as was required, and began the meeting.
During the meeting, they once again reviewed the king's family tree, examining all members who had been chosen. Once again they found the closest relative to be Treven. They sent out a messenger, with the royal crown… Treven would understand. All of them stood and filed out of the council chamber in a solemn mass. Vanyel went softly to find and console Jisa, being the only family left to her whom she had known her entire life.
Please Review I know my writing stinks, but how else am I to improve it?
