The days soon blurred together, and it was soon the night before her trip came. Angara was coming out of her office, and Tia came up to her. Angara said that she was going to go to bed. Tia said that Asen would be ready to go in the morning, and asked when she wanted to be up. Angara was shocked, and then realized that the days passed by quickly. Angara said that she wanted then to be up by dawn.
Angara got to her room, and Tia went to get her nightgown. Once she was changed into her nightgown, and in bed. Tia said goodnight.
Daylight soon started to stream in the windows of Angara's room. Tia came in, and woke Angara, and then went to get her clothes. Angara sat up, rubbing her eyes, and stretched. Tia came back, and Angara got out of bed. Tia said that Asen, and a few guards were getting ready to go. Angara asked if they were going to eat before they go. Tia said that breakfast was ready, and the guards would eat after they got everything ready. Once Angara was finished with getting dressed, she headed down to eat. When Angara reached the bottom of the stairs, Garrett greeted her.
"Good morning, my lady." Said Garrett.
"Good morning, Garrett. I will be leaving today with Asen, and a small group of guards. Please look after my kingdom, and thank you for doing so." Said Angara.
"Of course, my lady. Just make sure you pay attention to your lessons that Asen teaches you." Said Garrett.
"I will." Said Angara.
Angara then excused herself, and went to eat. Tia came out with her food, and said that the guards were eating now. Angara said that was good, and then started on her breakfast too.
When she was done, she told Tia that she was going to the stables to talk to the stable master. Tia cleaned up the dishes, and Angara went out to the stables. When Angara got there, she started looking at all the beasts in their stalls. The stable master came up to her, and Angara asked which one was hers. He said that they all belonged to her. She asked about the ones for the guards, and he said that there were stables for the guard's beasts.
Angara then started to look at each of the beasts, and seen one that she liked. She told the stable master that she wanted that one to be her beast. Then Angara told him that she wanted to know all about how to put on the gear. The stable master then got the gear that she'd use. He explained everything to her, and how to put it on.
Asen was eating with his men, when Bren came walking in. He seen his brother, and went over to him. Asen seen him sit, and look right at him.
"What do you need, brother?" Asen asked.
"I just seen Lady Angara go into the stable." Said Bren.
Asen quickly finished his food, and then got up from the table. He got to the stable, and seen the stable master showing her something. Then helped her into the saddle, then went to adjust the stirrups on the saddle.
"My lady." Said Asen.
"Asen, did you need something?" Angara asked.
"I would have come to get you when everything was ready to go." Said Asen.
"I had time, and I wanted to know somethings that the stable master could help with." Said Angara.
"Oh, right. Well, I will start making final checks over the everything we are taking. I remember you telling Guard Captain Tobin that you didn't know how to ride. I will teach you while we are in the forest." Said Asen.
"That would be great, thank you." Said Angara.
Asen then turned to leave, and heard the stable master go back to explaining things to Angara. Asen then seen the two guards that would be escorting the maid staff to their villages, and then bring them back at the end of the month. He asked them when they would be leaving. They said that they would be leaving just as soon as they hitched up the wagons. Asen then left them to do what they needed. He then went to do as he said he was going to do. Soon the guards were done eating, the wagons were loaded, and the guards that were going were ready. Asen got Lady Angara, and said that they were ready. Tia seen him go with Lady Angara to the wagons. Once everyone was ready, they began to leave; Angara seen Tia, and waved good-bye.
"I can't wait to start learning everything about the forest." Said Angara.
"Well, I am not going to take it easy on you just because you are the Noble." Said Asen.
"Good." Said Angara.
