Keladry of Midelan moved quickly down the halls of Pirates Swoop, a number of sparrows and a dog following her though the halls where she had lived for the last two years since getting kicked out of page training. Alanna had offered to train Kel after Lord Wyldon had kicked her out of page training. Kel's parents had been more than happy to let her be trained by the King's Champion, known for her excellence in most weapons and unarmed tactics and Kel probably getting better training with Alanna training her and only her full time.

Kel had gotten a note from Alanna saying she wanted to talk to her. Finally she came to Alanna and George's rooms; going inside she saw only George and asked "Alanna wanted to talk to me, do you know where she is?"

"Right here" a voice behind Kel said

Kel spun and looked down into the purple eyes of the women, who in the last few years had been Kel's mentor, teacher and mother figure. Kel was like family now and while Alianne and she had had problems at first now they were the best of friends and several people had quickly discovered that you should never mess with either one because both would come after you and sometimes you also got a very pissed off Alanna and/or George.

"What did you want to talk to me about? Kel asked curious.

" I'm being forced to go to the palace" Kel raised an eyebrow wondering who could force Alanna to do anything. "Jonathan orders" Alanna replied to the questioning look. It's always Jonathan, not Jon now, Kel thought. "Anyways" continued Alanna "would you like to join me? You could see your friends again" Alanna paused, a gleam in her eyes "And we could show conservatives that women can fight.

Kel grinned "More than happy to" glad to be able to show any one who thought women couldn't fight they could, extremely well. She would do the squire thing for Alanna, maybe, if need be. She quickly packed her trunk and by the next day was ready to go.
