The Great Prophecy

Chapter 13

It was maybe six in the morning when the three woke up and continued on the route they had to follow. "Ah, good morning guys," said Keflar, the other two replied with a good morning.

"Let's get going, shall we?" asked Akoen, the other two agreed and they continued on their path.

Night was quickly approaching and the three were almost a quarter of the way through their quest. The three didn't know that they were being followed by someone they would soon find out.

"Let's rest, we will begin again tomorrow," Akoen said.

"Alright, I think I will be the guard today," Keflar said, the others agreed and with that it became quiet. Keflar used a stone to sharpen his sword, he did the same for the Akoen's sword and Lokiel's battle axe. They must become happy seeing that their weapons are sharpened, Keflar thought. Then he heard rustling in the leaves close to where they were, Keflar picked up his sword and became cautious. More rustling, a chill went up Keflar's back. What was it? And then it jumped, Keflar was about to attack, but stopped. "What? You?" Keflar spluttered.

"Yes, it's me, you seemed surprised," the stranger said in a beautiful voice.

"What was the need to creep up on me like that!" Keflar said.

"Oh, did I scare the man going on the quest to kill Caoalais?" The stranger said as if Keflar was a baby.

"Shut up Tanith!" Keflar barked.

"Ok, I am sorry," said Tanith.

"Why did you come here?" asked Keflar.

"I wanted to go on the quest, but only men were allowed, not fair! So I decided to follow you three far enough so that you wouldn't dare send me back," Tanith replied. Everywhere Tanith would go, men would rush over to her, asking her if she was married, she would lie and say no because she wanted a brave, adventurous, and strong man who wouldn't do this. Tanith had blonde hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes.

Keflar sighed "Fine, you can come with us, but only if the other two agree with your presence."
