Authors note: So I got a guest review asking why I deleted "Nightmares in Castle Rysen" and the chapter in "Short Tales from Rysen", "Relationship: Stronger than all" and I would like to answer that.
So the reason I deleted the chapter from "Short Tales from Rysen" was because I didn't think that people would like it. And the reason I deleted "Nightmares in Castle Rysen", was because I thought that it posed too many spoilers, so I quickly delete it not wanting to spoil it for people. Since I now know that people liked those stories, I will re-upload them, probably a little edited though.
Also, my readers, please ignore the fact that I posted a review on my story, saying that I should write a story on Janner's proposal. I had thought that I was reading a different story, not my own. LOL.
"We need to get out of here!" Maraly said urgently. She, Janner, and Sara had hid behind a large boulder that was set next to the dirt road, so they were only a few feet away from the carriage.
Janner nodded his head. "Yeah! But where will we go?"
One of the horses that ran into the forest neighed.
And idea hit Janner. "Cover me!" He told Sara and Maraly. He ran out from behind the boulder, and quickly ran into the forest. After a few moments, he came out riding one of the horses.
Maraly understood what his idea was. Once Janner had lead the horse behind the boulder, Maraly spoke up. "Who's gonna ride for help?"
Janner shook his head. "I can't. I need to stay with Kal and Leeli." He looked at Sara. "You're the best rider here. You should go get help."
Sara shook her head. "Maraly can do it. I'm not leaving you."
Janner sighed. "Sara, you're our best shot."
Sara considered what he said. After a moment she finally spoke. "Alright. I'll do it."
Janner smiled a little bit. Before she climbed up on the horse, she turned to face Janner. "Don't get hurt." She said, hugging him.
Janner chuckled. "I'll try not to." He kissed her quickly, then helped her onto the horse. She rode the horse quickly, and had escaped the "danger zone" quickly.
Janner turned around to face Maraly, who was looking out towards the woods.
"What are we gonna do now?" Janner said. "Whoever's out there trying to kill Kal will probably come out soon."
Maraly nodded her head in agreement. "Well, all we can do is sharpen our blades and wait."
And so that's what they did.
Sara rode the horse as fast as she could. She wanted to get help, but then she also didn't want to leave Janner. As she rode the horse, she thought about the possibilities of what could happen to Janner and Maraly. They could get seriously hurt, or worse. She hated to think of the worse. Or, they could make it out fine, with only scrapes and bruises. Sara preferred the second idea. As she rode the horse on the dirt road, she thought back to when she was in Dugtown, when the Fangs were going to attack. Gammon had ordered the Dugtowners to wait for the attack, the same attack that never came. She hoped that Janner, Maraly, Kalmer, and Leeli were alright. Sara had many thoughts run through her head, old memories. Mostly memories with Janner. Very rarely did she have memories of her parents. As she steered the horse into a field (it was quicker to run through the field, as there was a town on the other side of it) she thought back to when she met Janner. Sara thought back to when she first met Maraly. It had been an interesting meeting, one that she would probably remember for the rest of her life. She remembered when she met Artham, and Gammon.
As Sara thought back on all of this, she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings.
And that was when the hooded rider appeared.
