Kyana flashed Zeil a smile as she watched her apprentice swing her sword with grade A accuracy, ability, and power. After sitting out in the woods for over an hour just learning more about the proper grip and movement of the sword, Azeilia sat down next to her mare, Dunei. Kyana almost laughed at her tiredness, this was only the beginning she thought. "Is that all for today?" Azeilia asked when she noticed that Kyana had gotten up and walked over to where Auedir stood patiently tied to the tree branch.

Kyana nodded as she pulled herself onto her black mustangs back and untied him. She lead him over to where Zeil and Dunei still sat, "Come on, let's go. I am sure the King would like to know about your progress, and I heard from a servant that the Royal Chef would be making something excellent tonight to celebrate the arrival of a certain General and his daughter." She paused as she noticed Zeil's facial expression change at the mention of food.

"Well, we wouldn't want to keep this extremely important general and his amazing daughter." Azeilia laughed as she got up and untied Dunei. The mare was happy at the mention of leaving. Kyana noticed that Dunei wasn't as patient as Auedir in the concept as Auedir was used to being tied and waiting for Kyana to finish her business, whereas Kyana assumed that Dunei was much more impatient.

"Yeah, can't wait to meet this amazing daughter, cause all I'm stuck with is you." Kyana finished with a signature sneer causing Zeil to stick out her tongue.

Kyana let out a loud laugh that seemed to echo within the trees as the leaves bristled in the incoming wind. She glanced in Azeilia's direction before she kicked her heels into Auedir's side causing the mustang to tear off in the direction of the palace.

Azeilia echoed her mentor's laugh as she too made Dunei follow the mustang and his rider. Following a trial of dust was the only way Azeilia and Dunei would have been able to find their way back to the palace as the only person who knew these woods like the back of her hand was gone.

Kyana waited for Azeilia outside the palace gates, she had her eyes closed ad her head back as if she was resting. Zeil approached the other girl cautiously as she came up, slowing Dunei down to almost a stop. "Kyana?" Azeilia said quietly, her voice barely able to be heard.

Kyana didn't move for a moment before she leaned back up and looked at her apprentice, "Not bad," she said with a smile. "Only five minutes after me. Soon, I will have you knowing these trails in your sleep." She paused as she turned Auedir around and lead him towards the gates. "Now let's go, slowpoke. I'm hungry!"

As normal, the guards let the two teens in without a question, their eyes quickly being drawn to the large and deadly swords that hung by their sides. Being used to the stares, Kyana barely noticed it as she made her way to the barn and handing Auedir's reigns to a small stable boy. Azeilia arrived right behind her mentor as she handed Dunei's reigns to another boy, "Please take care of her," she whispered softly as she turned and walked back towards the castle.

The boy gave her a big grin as he ran back into the stable and towed her large mare behind him. As Azeilia and Kyana happily walked back to the palace, neither girl noticed the two figures that stood, watching them in the distance.

~*..*~

"That is her," the smaller of the figures said. "I am 100% sure." It looked up to the larger figure who in turn knelt down to get a better look.

"Nasuada wants her, and bad. Did she tell you why?" the larger figure spoke, its hand reaching down towards the sword that was sheathed by its side.

"No, but when have we ever questioned orders? This isn't our first mission, and you know it won't be our last. We are given orders and we follow through with them, no questions asked. That's just how it works, you should be used to it." The smaller one turned to the larger figure as it spoke again with a sigh, "All I know is that she is someone important and there must be a very good reason that the leader of the only free people in all of Alagaesia would sent her best spies," insert smirk here, "to spy on a girl in Uru'baen of all places; right under the Kings' nose."

The larger teen took a deep breath before nodding, "We are the best." The smaller form let out a laugh as it pulled off its hood to reveal its face.

"That would be the only thing you would get out of that little speech. Just that we are the best, not the actual answer to your question." The girl said as she rolled her dark brown eyes. "Now let's go, it's about time we actually started this mission." She walked over to a beautiful gray stallion. She hoped on the horses back as she lead it over towards another horse, almost matching hers in color.

The larger figure took off its hood as well as she jumped onto the other horse, "Fine," she said with a sigh, "Let go and find out why we came all this way just for some girl. I'm tired of not knowing stuff." Her eyes almost glowed with a fiery passion that was swirls of colors of blue, green and gray.

With a laugh, the two girls tore off in the direction of the palace, their horses kicking up dust in their wake.

~*..*~

After showing Azeilia her room, which just happened to be next to Kyana's, the girls both washed up to get rid of all the dirt and sweat that clung to their skin after a training session. Both girls let out a moan as the cool water cascaded over their skin, easily washing away all that clung to their bodies.

Once both had cleaned themselves to their satisfaction, they meet outside Kyana's room to walk to dinner as Azeilia did not know where the dining hall that they would be feasting in was. Zeil seemed to put on a nice looking dress, of which Kyana gave her a look down before covering her mouth in an attempt not to laugh. "L-L-Looks great." Kyana said through her hands, her body heaving as it suppressed laughter.

Azeilia rolled her eyes as she slapped her mentor on the back of the head, "Oh please, do not even attempt to hide it. You think I look ridiculous." When Kyana lifted her eyes to meet Azeilia's she almost laughed again at the sight of the smaller girl fuming as she placed a hand on her hip.

"Aww, Zeil! I think you look awesome, and I am sure your father and the King will agree!" Kyana said as she walked over and put an arm around Azeilia's shoulders. "I'm just preparing myself." She paused to take a deep breath as she straightened her shirt and trousers. When she stood back up Azeilia saw that she was biting her lip to refrain from saying anything more.

"You are so full of it." Azeilia sighed as she laced her arm through her mentors and walked out into the hallway. "So where is this great hall that we will be feasting at?" she asked in a sarcastic tone. "Is it in the Dragonhold?" she paused to laugh at her joke until she turned to see Kyana looking shamefully at the floor. Azeilia's eyes widened as she put the puzzle pieces together. "Oh no." she barely breathed.

Oh yes.
