Avalon Wonders.

Chapter Sixteen

After a thorough inspection I came to the conclusion that the damage done wasn't very bad I guess...depending on how you look at it, not many were dead but mostly injured so we still had a few soldiers left and although most of the young maids were raped, at least it's better than they were dead. Half of the castle was in ruins, half of our food stuff missing. How am I to fix all this and still train? Oh God! If this is what that man considers a fair fight then he must be crazy. Who is he anyway?

Sighing heavily, I plop down on my bed in my room which by the way doesn't have a door. I thought about it and I felt it would be better to start work tomorrow when most of the injured have recovered and others rested, it has been a long day for everyone.

I want to go home but I know these people need me and I feel like my heart has already accepted who I am but my mind is still playing tricks on me.

So, I have two months until the next attack, two months to rebuild the people's spirits, two months to rebuild our defences, two months to train myself. I wish aunt Stella was here, she was a lot older and actually knew the customs of this place she might have known what to do.

"Fear not! You are not alone" Catalyn said. Nodding my head I fall into a deep sleep but not without putting the kitchen knife I found under my pillow. I must be prepared for anything.

My body ached, although I had slept on the bed I awoke to the feeling of a hard cold floor underneath me. I cracked an eye open to check and realized I wasn't even in my own room but lying on the ground in what looked like a meadow.

Slowly with stiff limbs I managed to rise to my feet. I looked around and discovered next to where I was laid moments ago, there was a small fountain. Still confused as to how I arrived here I stepped closer to the fountain and sat by it to take a look at my reflection. I looked crazy with my blonde hair looking like a bird nest and my face dirty from lying on the ground. My dress even looked worse. I got back up ready to go back to the castle when I realised that I don't know where I am or how I'm supposed to get to the castle again.

Groaning I sit back down on the ground. Maybe if I stay here long enough they might come looking for me.

"Catalyn Do you know where we are?"

"No I do not. But we are inside the castle." Thank God.

"Do you know how we got here?"

"Hmm...I think you were sleep walking"

"OK so would this be a good time to train me?" I might as well make the best out of this situation. I looked up at the sky and by the looks of it it was still early in the morning.

"Absolutely! OK where should we start?" She squealed. Laughing at her enthusiasm I answer

"I don't know. What can I do?"

"Lots of things. But considering our current predicament, let me teach you something that may be helpful"

"What?"

"I'll teach you how to make things grow!" Seriously?
