What does it mean to be a knight? Why would anyone want to become a knight? Is a person bound by codes of old? Is a person who wants to do the right thing? Is someone seeking revenge…the truth…themselves? It is a thousand different answers to a single important question. But none of these answers are wrong or right.
The most important thing is what your answer is and what it means to you.

"Easy, Brightstar," Chip said as they made it to the top of the mountain.
He didn't know how to react to the message in the back of her journal. He remembered looking through it before and seeing nothing. Now suddenly a message pops up…
It sounded fishy to him. His first impulse was to run to Daggeron or the Snow Prince and show them the entry. But another part of him was cautious. What if it was a trap? What if it was just his imagination even if he checked it a million times? He knew that bring her name up brought out several emotions to the Snow Prince and Daggeron.
No, he needed to check this out himself.
He pulled at Brightstar's reins slightly and the unicorn stopped in place. He slipped off of his back and looked around. He took his morpher out of his pocket and snapped it open into his wand. The mountain looked the same even with her staff firmly in place.
You know…it kind of reminded him of Sword in the Stone…minus sword and replace it with a staff.
"Catalina!" He shouted.
He looked around to see if she would pop up or something. There was nothing but the birds calling and a distance sound of water in the distance.
"Catalina!"
His voice echoed through the forest. He sighed for a moment then he heard Brightstar move behind him. He twisted around and pointed his wand at the presence behind him. His eyes widened slightly. Catalina was just standing…looking amused. First thing, he noticed was how she hasn't aged. Her hair was longer and it was twisted into a long braid. Second thing, he noticed was her outfit was similar to what Daggeron wore expected for gold…it was silver of course.
"You didn't need to yell. I heard you the first time. Anyway…let me take a look at you. You look much better than the last time, I saw you. I am sorry about that by the way. I really thought that I put it in a safe place. Batty old witch…I will deal with her later. Now…I supposed you have questions. I have the answers," She said with a smile.
"Uhh…Well…we had an appointment and kind of everyone thinks you are dead," He said.
She blinked for a moment then she laughed.
"Not the first question that I expected but it is quite truth. I needed for them to think so."
"Why?"
"The longer that I reminded on the board…the most damage I seemed to cause in my wake. I choose to step away for a time."
"But you could have helped. You still can help." He said with the shake of his head.
"Who said that I haven't?"
"Huh?"
"I might not be able to reverse time but a second here and a second there, it is remarkable how much that matters like when you were saving your girlfriend or Xander and his…tree issue. Halder would have been greatly amused by that especially since he tried to heal his broken leg. Silly…Silly man.," She said with a grin.
"Oh…well…thanks for that," He said.
He really didn't know what to think about it.
"Now…I believe we have much to talk about like your training."
"I have been training."
She snorted.
"Their training has been demise and they should be ashamed of themselves. I understand that the Light is important but there is always an after. The after is just important as now. The only saving grace has been the Bright One. He had enough sense not to let you fall behind. Oh, very good job for listening to your mount by the way."
He blinked. He really didn't know how to respond to that.
"So…back to the beginning," He said.
Inside, he was groaning. He remembered the spoons and the weapon training. He still has the scar on his arm.
"By the saints, no. You don't need that. You are a master of the bow and those silly spoons. You are passed that point a long time. No, Mr. Thorn, we are going in a different direction."
Now, he was just confused.
"So…what direction are you taking me?"
She smiled brightly.
"I am not only going to make you a knight but also a leader."
