The Dragon Empire

Kes had been clinging to Jube's back, who clearly needed some lessons before giving more rides. If Kes hadn't been so frightened, and somewhat excited, she might have felt quite sick.
Once on the ground, Jube had transformed back and was reaching for her injured hand. Before he could touch it, she slapped him hand with it across the face. Her own hand stung like blazes and there was blood across his cheek where she'd struck him.
"You're a stupid boy," she said angrily, before putting her arms around him and burying her face in his chest. "Did I say you were a monster? Did I say I never wanted to see you again?"
All of this was said to his clothes and somewhat muffled, but all the same it was said with enough clarity to be heard.
"Stupid, stupid boy," she continued, though this seemed more to herself, not moving from where she was.

The Dragon Empire

Kes gave him a cold look, clearly not having fogiven him, nor find his words funny. However she scooped up Lupo and, with only a moment's hestitation, cut her hand on a sharp rock and wiped the blood, so it was obvious, onto some wood. Then she climbed onto his back.
There were limited placed to hold, so she made do with his wing joist, hooking her knees over and holding Lupo. She couldn't believe she was doing this.
"You need to go before a villager sees," she said finally. "Otherwise they can decribe me."

Kelin looked to Stephen, who shook his head.
"You go," said Stephen. "No one would realise it was me and it would take too long to explain. Go. Lady Alexxandra was taken to the palace. The guards said so."
With that, Stephen followed the doctor.
"I will be with him," he said through his visor. "I know him well and his daughter is being sent for."
Stephen refused to move from his side and no one dared to forcibly try. A guard in the Imperial Army might not be much, but Kelin the General was a scary prospect indeed.

Kelin was gone in a whirl. As an elf, he could run musch quicker than a horse, flying to the castle with great speed. He slowed only when he saw the king, who was in the entrance hall.
"Your majesty," said Kelin, not forgetting his manner and bowing low to the man.
"Kelin?" the king said in some surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Kelin explain in the least amount of words he could. In turn, the king explained the state of Alessandra.
"Your highness," Kelin said, "I understand, however she would want surely, to be with her father. A coach could be arranged to transport her. The doctor seemed highly concerned."
The king went to the room where Alessandra currently rested, whilst Kelin went to arrange a coach. He spoke to his wife who shook her head emphatically.
"She is to rest. She is in no fit state to go,"
"Her father is seriously hurt," the king said. "If she awakes and finds she was not able to be with him, she will be in all the greater distress."
The Queen seemed adament that she wasn't going anywhere, but it was Avril who sided with her father.
"She will never forgive any of us if he died and we kept her here,"
"Then bring him to her," the Queen said.
"Enough," said the King and both of the women fell silent. It was rare the king put his foot down, but when it did, he was obeyed. "Edward, put her in the coach and go with her. Avril, you accompany her. Try smelling salts , lightly mind, to see if that rouses her. The Queen and i will remain here. Send word as soon as you can. Kelin will be waiting for you."
The Queen sat on the bed with her face in her hands as Edward lifted Alexxandra as easily as a doll. He got into the carriage with her, gently cradling her and holding her against himself. Avril tried the smelling salts, just wafting them carefully, praying her friend would awaken.
The carriage was moving fast, but no too much so that carriage would not bounce and crash.

The Dragon Empire

Kes couldn't have stopped him even if she's wanted to and her pride was hurt by his being unable to trust her. All those years of protecting him, of bruises and laughter, all for naught. He had a secret and have been able to tell her, but had told a perfect stranger as soon as meeting him.
She felt tears in her eyes and pushed them away. This wasn't the time to cry. She wanted to be alone.
There were many people in the forest heading her way and seemed surprised to see her. They were carrying much of their prpperty and called to her urgently. She couldn't understand their gambling, mostly because she wasn't listening though she was surprised by their appearance. There were men, women and children, as well as some livestock.
She told them where she wished to go but they refused to let her.
"A dragon's been seen. It'll destroy the village and eat everything."
She realised they must be taking about June.
"Don't be silly," she said. "He wouldn't do a thing like that."
They must have thought her simple, for they looked at her like she was mad.
"It's a dragon. That's what they DO. They bitten everything to the ground."
She pulled a face.
"So you're hiding in a forest from a dragon, who like to burn things," she said sardonically. "You realise that the forest would burn."
The villagers looked panicked and me tried to reassure them, saying he wouldn't do such a thing, when a man grabbed her arm. "We could sacrifice her to it," he speed, gripping her an painfully. "She said it will not hurt us let her prove it!"
There was only agreement with this and the man kicked Lupo as the cub tried to protect her.Kes kicked the man hard between the legs, causing him to let her go. She ran from him, Lupo at her heels shooting that she'd prove he wouldn't hurt anyone.
She was still angry at June, but these villagers had no right to be.
The village was degree when she entered it and she could see Jube flying overhead with as much gave as a baby bird taking its first flight.
She was still frightened, but he had no right to be angry at her. "You come down here right now!" She screamed at the flying creature, not sure if he heard or if he would ignore her.

The maid nodded and helped her into the outfit, which laced up delicately, buttoning only in certain places.
The maid pointed her to a mirror whilst she dressed her hair, putting it up and then pointing to a dressing table. There were moisturizes and things upon the table, as well as a vanilla scent.
Once the girl was properly attired, she escorted her from the room, heading down the stairs and into opening a room.
The room was dressed in dark wood, with rich red leather seats and a fire. There were several figures within, but the only ones not in shadow was the butler and the woman she'd seen in the car.
"Better," the woman said as she looked at her, "but still I don't see it."
The maid gave a short bow and then backed form the room.
"Goodness, don't stand there like a peasant," the woman said. "Come in and introduce yourself."

It was clear that despite his explaination, this wasn't good enough for Kestrel.
"I don't believe this," she said, looking at him as if she'd never seen him before. "For year I've been by your side, I've looked after you. I thought you trusted me. I was clearly wrong."
She picked up the bag which contained everything she'd brought with her, including the map.
"You meet this person once, and decide to reveal something you've never told me?" she said, shaking her head. "Suit yourself, Jubilant Wells. Stay here with your secrets. I'm going."
She never called him by his full name, so the weight of her saying it clearly emphasized her feelings.
She took a few steps and then stopped to whistle, causing the little cub, who had been sat patiently, to get up.
"Do not follow me," she said with her back to him. "I'm going to the next village. Have your secrets. I couldn't care less. I'll stay the night there. If you decide you want to even continue this with me, find me in the morning. Not until, or I might say something we might both regret."
She felt betrayed. Jube knew everything about her, and he'd kept this from her for years.
She stormed off without a backward glance, Lupo at her heels.

No problem. Whenever. Hope you had fun!

The Queen listened intently to the doctor, listening carefully and nodding her head.
"Please, doctor," she said sweetly. "She's my god daughter. Anything I can do."
Avril had stayed by her side, her hand resting on the uninjured one of her friends. Only an hour before they'd been laughing together, now her friend was unconscious.

Stephen nodded to the doctor as he spoke, rising to look around for a way to carry the man. He headed toward the closest carriage, but the man who was driving it ignored him, riding off. The horse who was uninjured from the accident had been moved and the wreckage was being cleared out of the path, allowing guests to pass whilst spying on the accident.
Stephen began to feel desperate, when Kelin arrived.
Kelin was a tall imposing figure, a drow elf who wasn't beautiful but had a striking resemblance. He stood over Stephen, glaring at him with his penetrating stare. Stephen knew he understood who he was.
"Sir," Stephen said, though he technically was senior to Kelin, "Lord Kent needs assistance. He must be taken to hospital, but we need..."
Kelin raised his hand and the next carriage stopped without any protest.
Kelin told the driver, in no uncertain terms, that he needed the carriage and that the King would reward him, and those within greatly, should he accept. He also had the next carriage take the occupants.
That settled, the carriage was brought to where the Baron lay.
The driver remained seated, ready to go at their word. Kelin loaded the still figure into the carriage and, before he could say anymore, Stephen climbed in also. Kelin entered also, and the carriage pulled off to the hospital, with some speed.
On reaching the hospital, Kelin removed the baron and, Stephen on his heels, they followed the doctor.
"You should go home," Kelin said softly to Stephen as they walked, but Stephen merely shook his head.
"I am more use here," he said simply. "Maybe I can learn medicine to be of more assistance next time."
Kelin's lip twitched. "Your mother will be pleased," he said sardonically.

Kes had been staring at the bird man, but at her friends words, she stood up and stated at him.
"What?!" she cried in alarm. "Since when?"

The maid, seeming to be satisfied, took a soft brush and began to clean her back, without asking. Once satisfied she poured some sweet, fruity smelling liquid into her hair and washed it using a jug.
Once that was done, the maid left to go back into the main chamber, taking the discarded clothes with her and returning with a large black towel and waiting patiently. The clothes laid out on the bed were not her own and were somewhat old fashioned but posh. There was a dress that went to the knees in a dark green, trimmed with black lace. There were black socks also, but her own clothes were no where to be seen.
