Winter's Past

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Before I could process his words, the room exploded into conversation and outcry.  I couldn’t see anything, but when the room had cleared the king of Rowhar had been lead out of the room, and now all of the warriors were leaving through the door as well. When the room was empty, Catherine spook.

“Order in the committee,” she said in an attempt to shh conversation, because even though the room was quiet to untrained ears.  But to me and everyone in the room, their was a flurry of telepathic  conversation.

Everyone was  having a different response to King Tristan and they were all talking. Every word that had taken place in the committee would around the castle in minutes.   By the look on Kendrick's face I could tell he was angry.

“Are you okay?” I asked, even though I knew Catherine would be furious at me for ignoring her instructions.

“I well be fine, queen Avalon.” He said in a professional tone. The way that drove me crazy, I would have punched him if I had been able to.

before I could respond back, Catherine, yelled my name, “Avalon! Could you of all people be a good example.” She said

If you've ever been yelled out by your mother, thats how it felt. Catherine was about twice my age, and even though she was relatively young, her black hair was beginning to fade, the way our people's did. And as funny as this sound since, I'm supposed to be a big powerful queen, I cowered away from her.

          And she of course was not done, “ What do you suggest, the committee does Avalon? Do we believe Rowhar and follow where ever it may lead or tell them to be out of sight by day break?”

“I do not know. We didn't even get to find out what King Tristan had to say.” I said in a more definite tone.

“Avalon! You don't actually believe what he was saying.” Kendrick out burst. The committees formal procedure, had burned in flames tonight.

“Committee's adjourned.” Catherine said, “We'll   meet after breakfast tomorrow.” She left the room in a hurry and everyone followed.

Except for Kendrick and I. “Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yes, just tired.”

“Would you like an escort, to your chambers?” He said with a funny smile and offered a hand.

          “No, can we go to Heathra?”

          “of course.” He said obviously thinking of the part that ran right beneath the castle. But I was dreaming of the big cave. Its lushness, fluorescents, and undeniable holiness,

          “I want to go to the main cave.”

          Kendrick shook his head. “Is your goal to be impossible.” He said in a harsh voice. “We couldn't be back before night fall. We won't be their by night fall.”

          “So we can spend the night. The cave is good for the soul.”

          “How on earth can I protect you there?”

          “Its a Abony and Gracian holly area. No one will harm me there.”

          “Okay, Queen Avalon. I will escort you to the center cave of Heathra. If you'll prepare your things. I'll inform the castle of our plans.” Kendrick did a simple bow and walked away.
