13Hi, I know I haven't updated in a while and the last chapter was short but, yeah.. I've been busy and had a deadly case of writers block. Now, I made a promise that's a bit different for all my stories and here's what my promise for this story is. When I make a new chapter it will have the same number paragraphs as reviews for the last chapter. So if I were to get 10 reviews for the last chapter the new one would have 10 paragraphs or more. Not much more to say so... I OWN NOTHING!
HAN-WHEN I opened my eyes I was relieved to find myself in my bedroom. I could feel the magic trickling through me, and I immediately reached for my amulet but came up with nothing. I closed my eyes before opening them to see Raisa pacing in front of me. The fury I had felt last night was gone, replaced by well.. love I guess... I stood up and after a few seconds of gaining my balance turned toward her and Dancer. Dancer having already stood up. I looked out the window to see to my dismay it was already dawn. I cursed under my breath at the thought of I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave right now. Raisa turned to me the worry and fury standing out in her eyes,"How dare someone sneak in and steal your amulet! I didn't know what to do when I found you and at first thought you were dead!" She leaned toward me and hugged me. I hugged her back before nodding thanks to Dancer. I moved over to my bed and crouched on the ground reaching under it. After a few seconds I found what I was looking for and brought it out, allowing my magic to trickle in. It was my other amulet. The copy of the Lone Hunter Amulet that Fire Dancer had given me.
I narrowed my eyes, who could have gotten in the room? I had a spell on the room so only Raisa could get in... unless I let someone come in.. All the servant knew to knock before coming in cause I had magic over the doors, windows, etc.. And they were spells that Crow taught me! old spells that no one that I know of remembers. And even then they were complicated ones with a.. certain twist to them.. You would have to know the exact spell to get in and I knew no one that it would be even possible for them to know the spells I used and in what order! They had to have used a napkin or cloth to get the amulet off me... hmmm.. I stood and turned to Raisa,"How long til' I leave?" She looked out the window and said," Not long." I cursed under my breathe, grabbed a bag and shoved clothes in(I know he would pack a bit more than clothes but I'm not gonna make a freaking list ok?)
I'd already said goodbye to everyone, we were all saddling our horses and getting ready to go, After maybe an hour of riding Micah said something that had been bothering me," so, what path are we taking? Are we going to approach directly, or indirectly?" Amon turned in his saddle to face us." Both I think, I was thinking we go around Marisa Pines Camp, follow along Delphi rd. til' about halfway. Go along the edges of Tamron forest, until we get to the Malthus Shrine. Where they're going to be camping by that time. Then we attack." I raised an eyebrow, "You really thought this through haven't you Byrne?" He nodded before he turned, but I caught him smirking.
"We need to camp." I was surprised it was Micah that first admitted he was getting tired. We'd all been acting tired but had to much pride to be the first to admit it. Amon straitened when he said that. Hiding the fact that he'd been slouching for the past half hour. It actually didn't bother me that much. I'd had to stay awake for up to 3 days before... I nodded and turned my horse to the forest so we would be at least slightly hidden. We silently made camp and 10 minutes later we were sitting around the fire. warming some kind of stew Amon had made. We sat silently for a while before I decided to break the ice."So about how many days of traveling to we have ahead of us? "Amon was silent for a second before answering. "I think only tomorrow, then we get to have our fun." I nodded before standing up, "Bayar, lets put up some shields, we don't want someone to come and kill us in our sleep, or something else."
He stood up and put up shields on the other side of me. I put 10 charms up, as complicated as I could. I didn't want to chance whoever got into my room last night to get me now. As we ate though I couldn't break the feeling we were being watched, I tried to reassure myself we were protected I couldn't shake it. I laid down and went to sleep. Assuring myself that Amon was on watch.
UNKNOWN- I ALMOST laughed at how oblivious the watchdog was of me, but of course no matter how strong a glamour I put up it would blow my cover. I looked at my cousin and wondered what it would be like to get to know him... but that would mean failing my mission. Which isn't really an option for me right now... I looked down at the Alger Waterlow amulet in my hands. I barely had a trickle of his blood in my veins but it was enough to hold the amulet. After all I wasn't a direct descendent like my cousin Alister. In fact I wouldn't even be a wizard if not for my father... My mother was from the fells. No one of my fathers friends knew she wasn't a wizard, but now they're gone and that show I even got in this situation... When I heard a snore I jerked my head up to see the guard wasn't necessarily asleep.. more dazed. The snore had come from the Bayar. I smiled, now was my chance, I focused on what Crow my instructor from Aeddion had taught me on revealing spells on a spell wall. I frowned as I found I didn't know half of them. But that was on the part Alister had done.. The side Bayar did was so simple I could do it in my sleep. I crept up behind the guard and whispered a spell to put him to sleep. It would only last 10 minutes but that was all I needed really... I walked over to Alister and grasped the amulet. I closed my eyes and whispered the spell and was turning around when I got tackled from behind. I twisted around to see Bayar.
MICAH- I'D BEEN ASLEEP when I heard leaves crunching right next to my head. I opened my eyes to see a small figure leaning over Han. They had a cowl over they're head so I couldn't tell who it was. I got up slowly as not too alert them and just as they were turning around I tackled them. They struggled underneath me, they managed to turn around to face me and I was surprised to find it was a girl. She had blonde hair and bluish eyes just like Han. I could tell she would get out from underneath me soon, I grasped my amulet and before she could get out from under me I muttered a paralysis spell and she froze glaring at me. I carefully got off her. And went to Amon who I was sure she'd put a spell on. He was fast asleep! I shook him and he sat up groggily,"Wha happin?" I got up and went to Alister who was already up and by the girls side. taking something. "Is anything wrong with you from what you can tell? She put a spell on you before I could get her." He shook his head, and yanked something off her neck smiling grimly. "She must be the person who stole my amulet and trapped me in Aeddion." I raised my eyebrow at that and said," how did she use it without getting burned?! I thought you didn't have any family left Alister?!" He looked at me and said, "I didn't, until now it appears."
I turned to the girl and practically growled, "What did you do to him?!" Although I wouldn't mind seeing Alister dead, Raisa cared for him and we couldn't afford anything to go wrong. She looked at me with amusement in her eyes. That's when I realized something, I had paralyzed her, she couldn't move. I spoke a charm to make It so she could talk. She looked at Han," Its nice to meet you cousin. She turned to me,"i was only following orders, and you'll find out eventually." I had to stop myself from slapping her. When it was clear she wasn't going to say anything else I put the charm on so she couldn't talk again.
Who gave her her orders? How is her mentor Crow? How can Han have not known he had a cousin? Why am I asking questions I know the answer to? What spell is on Han? And most important, will I get any reviews? I wont be updating for another week. Bye!
